AbstractLet Σ be a commutative semigroup of continuous endomorphisms of the r-dimensional torus. Generalizing a result of Furstenberg dealing with the circle group, necessary and sufficient conditions are given here for Σ to possess the following property: Any Σ-minimal set consists of torsion elements. Semigroups not having this property are shown to admit minimal sets of positive Hausdorff dimension.

AbstractLet σ be an ergodic endomorphism of the r–dimensional torus and Π a semigroup generated by two affine transformations lying above σ. We show that the flow defined by Π admits minimal sets of positive Hausdorff dimension and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for this flow to be minimal.

A well-known theorem which goes back to R. E. Johnson [4], asserts that if R is a ring then Q(R), its maximal ring of quotients is regular (in the sense of v. Neumann) if and only if the singular ideal of R vanishes. In the theory of semigroups a natural question is therefore the following: Do there exist properties which characterize those semigroups whose maximal semigroups of quotients are regular? Partial answers to this question have been given in [3], [7] and [8]. In this paper we completely solve the commutative case, i.e. we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a commutative semigroup S in order that Q(S), the maximal semigroup of quotients, is regular. These conditions reflect very closely the property of being semiprime, which in the theory of commutative rings characterizes those rings which have a regular ring of quotients.

This paper is concerned with the problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions on a commutative semigroup S for the algebra FS of S over a field F to be semiprimitive (Jacobson semisimple).

AbstractThis paper deals with the solvability of systems of linear operator equations in a linear space. Namely, the paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the operators under which certain kinds of systems of operator equations are solvable.

The flow-shop minimum-length scheduling problem with n jobs processed on two machines is addressed where processing times are uncertain: only lower and upper bounds of the random processing times are given before scheduling, but their probability distributions are unknown. For such a problem, there may not exist a dominant schedule that remains optimal for all possible realizations of the processing times and so we look for a minimal set of schedules that are dominant. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the case when it is possible to fix the order of two jobs in a minimal set of dominant schedules. The necessary and sufficient conditions are proven for the case when one schedule dominates all the others. We characterize also the case where there does not exist non-trivial schedule domination. All the conditions proven may be tested in polynomial time of n.

In this paper certain relations between non-compact transformation groups and compact transformation groups are studied. The notion of re-ducibility and separability of transformation groups is introduced, several necessary and sufficient conditions are established: (1) A separable transformation group to be locally weakly almost periodic, (2) A reducible and separable transformation group to be a minimal set and (3) A reducible and separable transformation group to be a fibre bundle. As applications we show, among other things, that (1) for certain reducible transformation groups its fundamental group is not trivial which is a generalization of a result in [4].

In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions on a commutative semigroup in order that it should have a maximal homomorphic image of one of the following types: (1) groups, (2) semigroups which are unions of groups and (3) pseudoinvertible semigroups, i. e. semigroups having the property that some power of each element lies in a subgroup of the semigroup.

AbstractWe establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a dynamical system to be topologically conjugate to the Morse minimal set, the shift orbit closure of the Morse sequence. Conditions for topological conjugacy to the closely related Toeplitz minimal set are also derived.

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.
