We consider attractors for certain types of random dynamical systems. These are skew-product systems whose base transformations preserve an ergodic invariant measure. We discuss definitions of invariant sets, attractors and invariant measures for deterministic and random dynamical systems. Under assumptions that include, for example, iterated function systems, but that exclude stochastic differ...

the main purpose of this paper is to establish some new results onthe superstability and stability via a fixed point approach forthe pexiderized exponential equation, i.e.,$$|f(x+y)-g(x)h(y)|leq psi(x,y),$$where $f$, $g$ and $h$ are three functions from an arbitrarycommutative semigroup $s$ to an arbitrary unitary complex banachalgebra and also $psi: s^{2}rightarrow [0,infty)$ is afunction. fur...

The time evolution of the strength of the Earth’s virtual axial dipole moment (VADM) is analyzed by relating it to the Fokker-Planck equation, which describes a random walk with VADM-dependent drift and diffusion coefficients. We demonstrate first that our method is able to retrieve the correct shape of the drift and diffusion coefficients from a time series generated by a test model. Analysis ...

In this paper, we prove Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of $C^*$-ternary algebra homomorphism for the following generalized Cauchy-Jensen equation $$eta mu fleft(frac{x+y}{eta}+zright) = f(mu x) + f(mu y) +eta f(mu z)$$ for all $mu in mathbb{S}:= { lambda in mathbb{C} : |lambda | =1}$ and for any fixed positive integer $eta geq 2$ on $C^*$-ternary algebras by using fixed poind alternat...

Following the last talk on graph homomorphisms, we continue to discuss some examples of graph homomorphisms. But this time we will focus on some models, that is, the homomorphism G → H for the graph H with fixed weights. The main reference is Section 1 in [2].

Mahler’s measure is generalized to create the class of multiplicative distance functions. These functions measure the complexity of polynomials based on the location of their zeros in the complex plane. Following work of S.-J. Chern and J. Vaaler in [1], we associate to each multiplicative distance function two families of analytic functions which encode information about its range on C[x] and ...

We show that if a graph H is k-colorable, then (k−1)-branching walks on H exhibit long range action, in the sense that the position of a token at time 0 constrains the configuration of its descendents arbitrarily far into the future. This long range action property is one of several investigated herein; all are similar in some respects to chromatic number but based on viewing H as the range, in...

The law of quadratic reciprocity is a gem from number theory. In this article we show that it has a natural interpretation that can be generalized to an arbitrary finite group. Our treatment relies almost exclusively on concepts and results known at least a hundred years ago. A key role in our story is played by group characters. Recall that a character χ of a finite Abelian group G is a homomo...

We prove that a Jordan homomorphism from a Banach algebra into a semisimple commutative Banach algebra is a ring homomorphism. Using a signum effectively, we can give a simple proof of the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of a Jordan homomorphism between Banach algebras. As a direct corollary, we show that to each approximate Jordan homomorphism f from a Banach algebra into a semisimple commutative...

The mainly used welfare criterion in the social network literature is Bentham ́s utilitarian concept. The shortcomings of this concept are well-known. We compare the outcomes of the utilitarian concept with the Nash social welfare function. By using a Taylor approximation we deduce a formula which allows the direct comparison of both concepts. The implications of welfare considerations of import...
