Annihilator-Semigroups and Rings, pp. 985-996.
ABSTRACT. Let R be a commutative ring with 1. We define R to be an annihilator-semigroup ring if R has an annihilator-semigroup S, that is, (S, ·) is a multiplicative subsemigroup of (R, ·) with the property that for each r in R there exists a unique s in S with 0 : r = 0 : s. The quotient monoid R/~ where a ~ b if and only if 0 : a = 0 : b is called the annihilator congruence semigroup of R. If S is an annihilator-semigroup for R, then S is isomorphic to R/~. In this paper we investigate annihilator-semigroups, annihilator congruence semigroups, and annihilator-semigroup rings.

Subgroups of Finite Direct Sums of Z[1/n], pp. 997-1007.
ABSTRACT. Let C(n) denote the class of subgroups of finite direct sums of Z[1/n] for a positive integer n. There is a category equivalence from the isomorphism at n category of C(n) to the class of n-local torsion-free abelian groups of finite rank. Included are a number of examples and a classification of groups in C(n) with rank < 4 for the case that n is a prime number.

Minimal extensions of distributive bounded lattices , pp. 1009-1024.
ABSTRACT. There is a considerable literature on (proper) maximal sublattices of distributive bounded lattices. In this note, we consider the dual concept of when L' is a minimal extension of L, that is L is a (proper) maximal sublattice of L'. Minimal extensions occur in one of two ways, so-called "removing a cover" or "splitting a point". The removal of covers is characterised and "special points" that can always be split are identified. For infinite L, there are at least |L| minimal extensions obtained by splitting special points, and examples are given to show that there need be no other minimal extensions.

Region of variability of univalent functions f(z) for which zf '(z) is spirallike, pp.1037-1048.
ABSTRACT.  For a complex number α with Re(α) >0 let S_α(λ) be the class of analytic functions f in the unit dist D with f(0)=0=f'(0)-1, f''(0)=2λe^-iαcos(α) satisfying Re e^iα(1+zf''(z)/f'(z))>0 for z in D. For a in D fixed, we determine the region of variability for log(f'(a)) when f  ranges over the class S_α(λ). As a consequence, we obtain an estimate for a pre-Schwarzian norm for S_α(0).

The stability of harmonic maps on Finsler manifolds, pp. 1049-1056.
ABSTRACT. In this paper We study the stability of harmonic maps on Finsler manifolds by an extrinsic average variational method in the calculus of variations. Some nonexistence results of nonconstant stable harmonic maps on compact Finsler manifolds are obtained, and the homotopy classes of maps on Finsler manifolds are discussed.

Functional ideals and topological theories, pp. 1065-1089.
ABSTRACT.In this paper we give new and unified isomorphic characterizations of approach spaces, pre-approach spaces, convergence approach spaces, uniform gauge spaces, topological spaces, convergence spaces, pretopological spaces, metric spaces and uniform spaces. The unified treatment is made possible by the use of a type of ideals of positive real-valued functions, a concept, richer and more appropriate than filters for our purpose.

Products of base-cover metacompact spaces, pp. 1091-1097.
ABSTRACT. A space X is base-cover metacompact if it has an open base every subcover of which has a point-finite subcover. Answering a question asked by Popvassilev, we prove: (1) The product of the Michael line (or the Sorgenfrey line) and ω₁+1 is not base-cover metacompact, where ω₁+1 has the order topology. (2) The product of a base-cover metacompact Lindelöf space and a compact metrizable space is base-cover metacompact.

Into linear isometries between spaces of Lipschitz functions, pp. 1165-1184.
ABSTRACT. In this paper we state a Lipschitz version of a known Holsztynski's theorem on linear isometries of C(X)-spaces. Let Lip(X) be the Banach space of all scalar-valued Lipschitz functions f on a compact metric space X endowed with the norm ||f|| = max{sup{|f(x)|: x in X}, L(f)}, where L(f) is the Lipschitz constant of f. We prove that any linear isometry T from Lip(X) into Lip(Y) satisfying that L(T1_X)< 1 is essentially a weighted composition operator Tf(y) = a(y)f(b(y)) for all f in Lip(X) and all y in Y₀, where Y₀ is a closed subset of Y, b is a Lipschitz map from Y₀ onto X with L(b) less or equal than max{1,diam(X)}, and a is a function in Lip(Y) with ||a|| = 1 and |a(y)| = 1 for all y in Y₀. We improve this representation in the case of onto linear isometries and we classify codimension 1 linear isometries in two types.

Order isomorphisms of little Lipschitz algebras, pp. 1185-1195.
ABSTRACT. For compact metric spaces (X,d_X) and (Y,d_Y) and scalars α, β in (0,1), we prove that every order isomorphism T between little Lipschitz algebras lip(X,(d_X)^α) and lip(Y,(d_Y)^β) is a weighted composition operator of the form Tf(y) = a(y)f(h(y)) for all f in lip(X,(d_X)^α) and all y in Y, where a is a nonvanishing positive function in lip(Y,(d_Y)^β) and h is a Lipschitz homeomorphism from (Y,(d_Y)^β) onto (X,(d_X)^α).

Quasicontinuity of Newton-Sobolev functions and density of Lipschitz functions on metric spaces, pp. 1197-1211.
ABSTRACT. We show that on complete doubling metric measure spaces X supporting a Poincaré inequality, all Newton-Sobolev functions u are quasicontinuous, i.e. that for every a>0 there is an open subset U of X with capacity less than a and such that the restriction of u to X\U is continuous. This implies that the capacity is an outer capacity.

Sharing set and normal families of entire functions and their derivatives , pp. 1213-1223.
ABSTRACT. In this paper, we use the idea of sharing set to prove: Let F be a family of functions holomorphic in a domain, let a and b be two distinct complex numbers with a+b≠ 0. If for each f in F, f and f' share S={a, b} CM, then F is normal in D. As an application, we prove a uniqueness theorem.

Operators which commute with the conjugation operators, pp. 1225-1232
ABSTRACT. In this paper we show that every bounded linear operator on some kind of group algebras commutes with conjugate operators, if and only if these operators commute with convolution operators. Using some conditions on bounded linear operators on the algebra of essentially bounded functions, we prove that these operators commute with conjugate operators if and only if commute with convolution operators.

A note on a theorem of Zhu on weighted Bergman projections on the polydisc, pp. 1233-1241.
ABSTRACT. We show that a holomorphic function in the unit polydisc is the image of a bounded holomorphic function by the weighted Bergman projection if and only if some weighted derivations of the function are bounded. This result improves Theorem 4 in the paper K. Zhu, Weighted Bergman projections on the polydisc, Houston J. Math. 20 (2) (1994), 275-292.

On multiple solutions for a singular quasilinear elliptic system involving critical Hardy-Sobolev exponents, pp. 1271-1293.
ABSTRACT. This paper is concerned with the existence of nontrivial solutions for a class of degenerate quasilinear elliptic systems involving critical Hardy-Sobolev type exponents. The lack of compactness is overcame by using the Brezis-Nirenberg approach, and the multiplicity result is obtained by combining a version of the Ekeland's variational principle due to Mizoguchi with the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz mountain pass theorem.
