The vertices of the dual digraphs are maximal disjoint filter-ideal pairs of the lattice. The approach used here combines representations of arbitrary lattices due to Urquhart (1978) and PlošÄica (1995). The duals of finite lattices are mainly viewed as TiRS digraphs as they were presented and studied in Craig--Gouveia--Haviar (2015 and 2022). When appropriate, Urquhart's two quasi-orders on the vertices of the dual digraph are also employed. Transitive vertices are introduced and their role in the<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>domination theory of the digraphs is studied. In particular, finite lattices with the property that in their dual TiRS digraphs the transitive vertices form a dominating set (respectively, an in-dominating set) are characterised. A characterisation of both finite meet-and join-semidistributive lattices is provided via minimal closure systems on the set of vertices of their dual digraphs.</p> Andrew Craig, Miroslav Haviar, José São João Copyright (c) 2022 A.

In this paper, we study Einstein warped product space, $$M = M_1 \times_{f_1} M_2$$ for the cases, $$(i)$$ $$M_1$$ is a Lie group $$(ii)$$ $$M_2$$ is a Lie group and $$(iii)$$ both $$M_1$$ and $$M_2$$ are Lie groups. Moreover, we obtain the conditions for an Einstein warped product of Lie groups to become a simple product manifold. Then, we characterize the warping function for generalized Robertson-Walker spacetime, $$(M = I \times_{f_1} G_2, - dt^2 + f_1^2 g_2)$$ whose fiber $$G_2$$, being semi-simple compact Lie group of $$\dim G_2&gt;2$$, having bi-invariant metric, coming from the Killing form.</p> Buddhadev Pal, Santosh Kumar, Pankaj Kumar Copyright (c) 2022 B.

The nature of the approach is variational and the main tool is an abstract result of Ricceri. The novelty in the application of this abstract tool is the use of a class of test functions which makes the assumptions on the data easier to verify.</p> Filippo Cammaroto Copyright (c) 2022 F.

When there is a limit on the zeros of a polynomial, we develop some additional inequalities that relate the uniform-norm of the polynomial to its polar derivative. The obtained results support some recently established ErdÅ‘s-Lax and Turán-type inequalities for constrained polynomials, as well as produce a number of inequalities that are sharper than those previously known in a very large literature on this subject.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> Gradimir V.
