In the Maugis-Dugdale model of the adhesive contact of elastic spheres, the step cohesive stress sigma(0) is arbitrarily chosen to be the theoretical stress sigma(th) to match that of the Lennard-Jones potential. An alternative and more reasonable model is proposed in this paper. The Maugis model is first extended to that of arbitrary axisymmetric elastic objects with an arbitrary surface adhes...

Let S(t,t') be the sigma-algebra generated by the differences X(s)-X(s) with s,s' in the interval(t,t'), where (X_t) is the fractional Brownian motion process with Hurst index H between 0 and 1. We prove that for any two distinct t and t' the sigma-algebras S(t-a,t+a) and S(t'-a,t'+a) are asymptotically independent as a tends to 0. We show this in the strong sense that Shannon's mutual informat...

‎A ring $R$ is strongly clean provided that every element‎ ‎in $R$ is the sum of an idempotent and a unit that commutate‎. ‎Let‎ ‎$T_n(R,sigma)$ be the skew triangular matrix ring over a local‎ ‎ring $R$ where $sigma$ is an endomorphism of $R$‎. ‎We show that‎ ‎$T_2(R,sigma)$ is strongly clean if and only if for any $ain‎ ‎1+J(R)‎, ‎bin J(R)$‎, ‎$l_a-r_{sigma(b)}‎: ‎Rto R$ is surjective‎. ‎Furt...

‎Let $R$ be a $*$-prime ring with center‎ ‎$Z(R)$‎, ‎$d$ a non-zero $(sigma,tau)$-derivation of $R$ with associated‎ ‎automorphisms $sigma$ and $tau$ of $R$‎, ‎such that $sigma$‎, ‎$tau$‎ ‎and $d$ commute with $'*'$‎. ‎Suppose that $U$ is an ideal of $R$ such that $U^*=U$‎, ‎and $C_{sigma,tau}={cin‎ ‎R~|~csigma(x)=tau(x)c~mbox{for~all}~xin R}.$ In the present paper‎, ‎it is shown that if charac...

A ring $R$ with an automorphism $sigma$ and a $sigma$-derivation $delta$ is called $delta$-quasi-Baer (resp., $sigma$-invariant quasi-Baer) if the right annihilator of every $delta$-ideal (resp., $sigma$-invariant ideal) of $R$ is generated by an idempotent, as a right ideal. In this paper, we study Baer and quasi-Baer properties of skew PBW extensions. More exactly, let $A=sigma(R)leftlangle x...

In this paper, we introduce the notions of expansion of ideals in $MV$-algebras, $ (tau,sigma)- $primary, $ (tau,sigma)$-obstinate  and $ (tau,sigma)$-Boolean  in $ MV- $algebras. We investigate the relations of them. For example, we show that every $ (tau,sigma)$-obstinate ideal of an $ MV-$ algebra is $ (tau,sigma)$-primary  and $ (tau,sigma)$-Boolean. In particular, we define an expansion $ ...
