 Transversals with Residue in Moderately Overlapping $T(k)$-Families of Translates Let $K$ denote an oval, a centrally symmetric compact convex domain with non-empty interior. A family of translates of $K$ is said to have property $T(k)$ if for every subset of at most $k$ translates there exists a common line transversal intersecting all of them. The integer $k$ is the stabbing level of the family. Two translates $K_i = K + c_i$ and $K_j = K + c_j$ are said to be $\sigma$-disjoint if $\sigma K + c_i$ and $\sigma K + c_j$ are disjoint. A recent Helly-type result claims that for every $\sigma > 0$ there exists an integer $k(\sigma)$ such that if a family of $\sigma$-disjoint unit diameter discs has property $T(k)| k \geq k(\sigma)$, then there exists a straight line meeting all members of the family. In the first part of the paper we give the extension of this theorem to translates of an oval $K$. The asymptotic behavior of $k(\sigma)$ for $\sigma \rightarrow 0$ is considered as well. Katchalski and Lewis proved the existence of a constant $r$ such that for every pairwise disjoint family of translates of an oval $K$ with property $T(3)$ a straight line can be found meeting all but at most $r$ members of the family. In the second part of the paper $\sigma$-disjoint families of translates of $K$ are considered and the relation of $\sigma$ and the residue $r$ is investigated. The asymptotic behavior of $r(\sigma)$ for $\sigma \rightarrow 0$ is also discussed. Keywords:transversal, $\sigma$-disjoint, $T(k)$-family, Helly number, residue

 On the X-ray Number of Almost Smooth Convex Bodies and of Convex Bodies of Constant Width The X-ray numbers of some classes of convex bodies are investigated. In particular, we give a proof of the X-ray Conjecture as well as of the Illumination Conjecture for almost smooth convex bodies of any dimension and for convex bodies of constant width of dimensions $3$, $4$, $5$ and $6$.

 Extension of the Riemann $\xi$-Function's Logarithmic Derivative Positivity Region to Near the Critical Strip If $K$ is a number field with $n_k=[k:\mathbb{Q}]$, and $\xi_k$ the symmetrized Dedekind zeta function of the field, the inequality $$\Re\,{\frac{ \xi_k'(\sigma + {\rm i} t)}{\xi_k(\sigma + {\rm i} t)}} > \frac{ \xi_k'(\sigma)}{\xi_k(\sigma)}$$ for $t\neq 0$ is shown to be true for $\sigma\ge 1+ 8/n_k^\frac{1}{3}$ improving the result of Lagarias where the constant in the inequality was 9. In the case $k=\mathbb{Q}$ the inequality is extended to $\si\ge 1$ for all $t$ sufficiently large or small and to the region $\si\ge 1+1/(\log t -5)$ for all $t\neq 0$. This answers positively a question posed by Lagarias. Keywords:Riemann zeta function, xi function, zeta zerosCategories:11M26, 11R42

 Generic Quasi-Convergence for Essentially Strongly Order-Preserving Semiflows By employing the limit set dichotomy for essentially strongly order-preserving semiflows and the assumption that limit sets have infima and suprema in the state space, we prove a generic quasi-convergence principle implying the existence of an open and dense set of stable quasi-convergent points. We also apply this generic quasi-convergence principle to a model for biochemical feedback in protein synthesis and obtain some results about the model which are of theoretical and realistic significance.

 On Functions Whose Graph is a Hamel Basis, II We say that a function $h \from \real \to \real$ is a Hamel function ($h \in \ham$) if $h$, considered as a subset of $\real^2$, is a Hamel basis for $\real^2$. We show that $\A(\ham)\geq\omega$, \emph{i.e.,} for every finite $F \subseteq \real^\real$ there exists $f\in\real^\real$ such that $f+F \subseteq \ham$. From the previous work of the author it then follows that $\A(\ham)=\omega$. Keywords:Hamel basis, additive, Hamel functionsCategories:26A21, 54C40, 15A03, 54C30

 Essential Surfaces in Graph Link Exteriors An irreducible graph manifold $M$ contains an essential torus if it is not a special Seifert manifold. Whether $M$ contains a closed essential surface of negative Euler characteristic or not depends on the difference of Seifert fibrations from the two sides of a torus system which splits $M$ into Seifert manifolds. However, it is not easy to characterize geometrically the class of irreducible graph manifolds which contain such surfaces. This article studies this problem in the case of graph link exteriors.

 Equations and Complexity for the Dubois--Efroymson Dimension Theorem Let $\R$ be a real closed field, let $X \subset \R^n$ be an irreducible real algebraic set and let $Z$ be an algebraic subset of $X$ of codimension $\geq 2$. Dubois and Efroymson proved the existence of an irreducible algebraic subset of $X$ of codimension $1$ containing~$Z$. We improve this dimension theorem as follows. Indicate by $\mu$ the minimum integer such that the ideal of polynomials in $\R[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ vanishing on $Z$ can be generated by polynomials of degree $\leq \mu$. We prove the following two results: \begin{inparaenum}[\rm(1)] \item There exists a polynomial $P \in \R[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ of degree~$\leq \mu+1$ such that $X \cap P^{-1}(0)$ is an irreducible algebraic subset of $X$ of codimension $1$ containing~$Z$. \item Let $F$ be a polynomial in $\R[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ of degree~$d$ vanishing on $Z$. Suppose there exists a nonsingular point $x$ of $X$ such that $F(x)=0$ and the differential at $x$ of the restriction of $F$ to $X$ is nonzero. Then there exists a polynomial $G \in \R[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ of degree $\leq \max\{d,\mu+1\}$ such that, for each $t \in (-1,1) \setminus \{0\}$, the set $\{x \in X \mid F(x)+tG(x)=0\}$ is an irreducible algebraic subset of $X$ of codimension $1$ containing~$Z$. \end{inparaenum} Result (1) and a slightly different version of result~(2) are valid over any algebraically closed field also.

 Dunford--Pettis Properties and Spaces of Operators J. Elton used an application of Ramsey theory to show that if $X$ is an infinite dimensional Banach space, then $c_0$ embeds in $X$, $\ell_1$ embeds in $X$, or there is a subspace of $X$ that fails to have the Dunford--Pettis property. Bessaga and Pelczynski showed that if $c_0$ embeds in $X^*$, then $\ell_\infty$ embeds in $X^*$. Emmanuele and John showed that if $c_0$ embeds in $K(X,Y)$, then $K(X,Y)$ is not complemented in $L(X,Y)$. Classical results from Schauder basis theory are used in a study of Dunford--Pettis sets and strong Dunford--Pettis sets to extend each of the preceding theorems. The space $L_{w^*}(X^* , Y)$ of $w^*-w$ continuous operators is also studied.

 Huber's Theorem for Hyperbolic Orbisurfaces We show that for compact orientable hyperbolic orbisurfaces, the Laplace spectrum determines the length spectrum as well as the number of singular points of a given order.

 $2$-Clean Rings A ring $R$ is said to be $n$-clean if every element can be written as a sum of an idempotent and $n$ units. The class of these rings contains clean rings and $n$-good rings in which each element is a sum of $n$ units. In this paper, we show that for any ring $R$, the endomorphism ring of a free $R$-module of rank at least 2 is $2$-clean and that the ring $B(R)$ of all $\omega\times \omega$ row and column-finite matrices over any ring $R$ is $2$-clean. Finally, the group ring $RC_{n}$ is considered where $R$ is a local ring.

 Matrix Valued Orthogonal Polynomials on the Unit Circle: Some Extensions of the Classical Theory In the work presented below the classical subject of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle is discussed in the matrix setting. An explicit matrix representation of the matrix valued orthogonal polynomials in terms of the moments of the measure is presented. Classical recurrence relations are revisited using the matrix representation of the polynomials. The matrix expressions for the kernel polynomials and the Christoffel--Darboux formulas are presented for the first time.

Summation of Series over Bourget Functions In this paper we derive formulas for summation of series involving J.~Bourget's generalization of Bessel functions of integer order, as well as the analogous generalizations by H.~M.~Srivastava. These series are expressed in terms of the Riemann$\z$function and Dirichlet functions$\eta$,$\la$,$\b$, and can be brought into closed form in certain cases, which means that the infinite series are represented by finite sums.

CMB 2008 (vol 51 pp. 439) Samei, Karim  On the Maximal Spectrum of Semiprimitive Multiplication Modules An$R$-module$M$is called a multiplication module if for each submodule$N$of$M$,$N=IM$for some ideal$I$of$R$. As defined for a commutative ring$R$, an$R$-module$M$is said to be semiprimitive if the intersection of maximal submodules of$M$is zero. The maximal spectra of a semiprimitive multiplication module$M$are studied. The isolated points of$\Max(M)$are characterized algebraically. The relationships among the maximal spectra of$M$,$\Soc(M)$and$\Ass(M)$are studied. It is shown that$\Soc(M)$is exactly the set of all elements of$M$which belongs to every maximal submodule of$M$except for a finite number. If$\Max(M)$is infinite,$\Max(M)$is a one-point compactification of a discrete space if and only if$M$is Gelfand and for some maximal submodule$K$,$\Soc(M)$is the intersection of all prime submodules of$M$contained in$K$. When$M$is a semiprimitive Gelfand module, we prove that every intersection of essential submodules of$M$is an essential submodule if and only if$\Max(M)$is an almost discrete space. The set of uniform submodules of$M$and the set of minimal submodules of$M$coincide.$\Ann(\Soc(M))M$is a summand submodule of$M$if and only if$\Max(M)$is the union of two disjoint open subspaces$A$and$N$, where$A$is almost discrete and$N$is dense in itself. In particular,$\Ann(\Soc(M))=\Ann(M)$if and only if$\Max(M)$is almost discrete. Keywords:multiplication module, semiprimitive module, Gelfand module, Zariski topologCategory:13C13 399.

Positive Solutions of the Falkner--Skan Equation Arising in the Boundary Layer Theory The well-known Falkner--Skan equation is one of the most important equations in laminar boundary layer theory and is used to describe the steady two-dimensional flow of a slightly viscous incompressible fluid past wedge shaped bodies of angles related to$\lambda\pi/2$, where$\lambda\in \mathbb R$is a parameter involved in the equation. It is known that there exists$\lambda^{*}<0$such that the equation with suitable boundary conditions has at least one positive solution for each$\lambda\ge \lambda^{*}$and has no positive solutions for$\lambda<\lambda^{*}$. The known numerical result shows$\lambda^{*}=-0.1988$. In this paper,$\lambda^{*}\in [-0.4,-0.12]$is proved analytically by establishing a singular integral equation which is equivalent to the Falkner--Skan equation. The equivalence result provides new techniques to study properties and existence of solutions of the Falkner--Skan equation.
