The bounded approximate version of $varphi$-amenability and character amenability are introduced and studied. These new notions are characterized in several different ways, and some hereditary properties of them are established. The general theory for these concepts is also developed. Moreover, some examples are given to show that these notions are different from the others. Finally, bounded ap...

We continue the investigation of notions of approximate amenability that were introduced in work of the second and third authors together with R. J. Loy. It is shown that every boundedly approximately contractible Banach algebra has a bounded approximate identity, and that the Fourier algebra of the free group on two generators is not operator approximately amenable. Further examples are obtain...

in the present paper, the concepts of module (uniform) approximate amenability and contractibility of banach algebras that are modules over another banach algebra, are introduced. the general theory is developed and some hereditary properties are given. in analogy with the banach algebraic approximate amenability, it is shown that module approximate amenability and contractibility are the same ...

In this paper, we study the approximate biprojectivity and biflatness of a Banach algebra A find some relations between theses concepts with ?-amenability ? -contractibility, where is character on A. Among other things, show that ?-Lau product L1(G) ?? A(G) approximately biprojective if only G finite, are group Fourier locally compact G, respectively. We also characterize biflat semigroup algeb...

Modifying a given graph to obtain another graph is a wellstudied problem with applications in many fields. Given two input graphs G and H, the Contractibility problem is to decide whether H can be obtained from G by a sequence of edge contractions. This problem is known to be NP-complete already when both input graphs are trees of bounded diameter. We prove that Contractibility can be solved in...
