A semigroup S is said to be monotone if its binary operation is a monotone function from S × S into S. This paper utilizes some of the known algebraic structure of Clifford semigroups, semigroups which are unions of groups, to study topological Clifford semigroups which are monotone. It is shown that such semigroups are preserved under products, homomorphisms, and, under certain conditions, closures. Necessary and sufficient conditions for monotonicity of groups, paragroups, bands, compact orthodox Clifford semigroups, and compact bands of groups are developed.

AbstractWe study the set of transformations {ΣF : F∈ 𝓑∗(Ω)} implemented by a network Σ with a single binary operation F, where 𝓑∗(Ω) is the set of all binary operations on Ω that are invertible as function of the second variable. We state a criterion of bijectivity of all transformations from the family {ΣF : F∈ 𝓑∗(Ω)} in terms of the structure of the network Σ, identify necessary and sufficient conditions of transitivity of the set of transformations {ΣF : F∈ 𝓑∗(Ω)}, and propose an efficient way of verifying these conditions. We also describe an algorithm for construction of networks Σ with transitive sets of transformations {ΣF : F∈ 𝓑∗(Ω)}.

AbstractFor any abelian group G and any function f: G → G we define a commutative binary operation or ‘multiplication’ on G in terms of f. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on f for G to extend to a commutative ring with the new multiplication. In the case where G is an elementary abelian p–group of odd order, we classify those functions which extend G to a ring and show, under an equivalence relation we call weak isomorphism, that there are precisely six distinct classes of rings constructed using this method with additive group the elementary abelian p–group of odd order p2.

Abstract The class of strictly increasing additive generators of the second kind is defined and analyzed. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a binary operation generated by a strictly increasing additive generator of the second kind to be associative are introduced. The relation between the class of strictly increasing additive generators of the second kind of associative binary operations and the class of discrete upper additive generators of associative binary operations is revealed.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj> 0 for eachj> 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.

The study of the differential-algebraic boundary value problems, traditional for the Kiev school of nonlinear oscillations, founded by academicians M.M. Krylov, M.M. Bogolyubov, Yu.A. Mitropolsky and A.M. Samoilenko. It was founded in the 19th century in the works of G. Kirchhoff and K. Weierstrass and developed in the 20th century by M.M. Luzin, F.R. Gantmacher, A.M. Tikhonov, A. Rutkas, Yu.D. Shlapac, S.L. Campbell, L.R. Petzold, Yu.E. Boyarintsev, V.F. Chistyakov, A.M. Samoilenko, O.A. Boichuk, V.P. Yacovets, C.W. Gear and others. In the works of S.L. Campbell, L.R. Petzold, Yu.E. Boyarintsev, V.F. Chistyakov, A.M. Samoilenko and V.P. Yakovets were obtained sufficient conditions for the reducibility of the linear differential-algebraic system to the central canonical form and the structure of the general solution of the degenerate linear system was obtained. Assuming that the conditions for the reducibility of the linear differential-algebraic system to the central canonical form were satisfied, O.A.~Boichuk obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear Noetherian differential-algebraic boundary value problem and constructed a generalized Green operator of this problem. Based on this, later O.A. Boichuk and O.O. Pokutnyi obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the weakly nonlinear differential algebraic boundary value problem, the linear part of which is a Noetherian differential algebraic boundary value problem. Thus, out of the scope of the research, the cases of dependence of the desired solution on an arbitrary continuous function were left, which are typical for the linear differential-algebraic system. Our article is devoted to the study of just such a case. The article uses the original necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear Noetherian differential-algebraic boundary value problem and the construction of the generalized Green operator of this problem, constructed by S.M. Chuiko. Based on this, necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the weakly nonlinear differential-algebraic boundary value problem were obtained. A typical feature of the obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear and weakly nonlinear differential-algebraic boundary-value problem is its dependence on the means of fixing of the arbitrary continuous function. An improved classification and a convergent iterative scheme for finding approximations to the solutions of weakly nonlinear differential algebraic boundary value problems was constructed in the article.
