1. A Note on Transcendental Power Series Mapping the Set of Rational Numbers into Itself

Diego Marques ; Elaine Silva.
In this note, we prove that there is no transcendental entire function f(z) ∈ ℚ[[z]] such that f(ℚ) ⊆ ℚ and den f(p/q) = F(q), for all sufficiently large q, where F(z) ∈ ℤ[z].

2. On the critical determinants of certain star bodies

Werner Georg Nowak.
In a classic paper [14], W.G. Spohn established the to-date sharpest estimates from below for the simultaneous Diophantine approximation constants for three and more real numbers. As a by-result of his method which used Blichfeldt’s Theorem and the calculus of variations, he derived a bound for the critical determinant of the star body |x1|(|x1|3 + |x2|3 + |x3|3 ≤ 1. In this little note, after a brief exposition of the basics of the geometry of numbers and its significance for Diophantine approximation, this latter result is improved and extended to the star body |x1|(|x1|3 + |x2 2 + x3 2)3/2≤ 1.

3. On a class of (p; q)-Laplacian problems involving the critical Sobolev-Hardy exponents in starshaped domain

M.S. Shahrokhi-Dehkordi.
Let Ω ⊂ ℝn be a bounded starshaped domain and consider the (p; q)-Laplacian problem -∆pu - ∆pu = λ(x)|u|p*-2u + μ|u|r-2u where μ is a positive parameter, 1 < q ≤ p < n, r ≥ p* and is the critical Sobolev exponent. In this short note we address the question of non-existence for non-trivial solutions to the (p; q)-Laplacian problem. In particular we show the non-existence of non-trivial solutions to the problem by using a method based on Pohozaev identity.

4. An approximation theorem for solutions of degenerate semilinear elliptic equations

Albo Carlos Cavalheiro.
The main result establishes that a weak solution of degenerate semilinear elliptic equations can be approximated by a sequence of solutions for non-degenerate semilinear elliptic equations.

5. Generalized Higher Derivations on Lie Ideals of Triangular Algebras

Mohammad Ashraf ; Nazia Parveen ; Bilal Ahmad Wani.
Let be the triangular algebra consisting of unital algebras A and B over a commutative ring R with identity 1 and M be a unital (A; B)-bimodule. An additive subgroup L of A is said to be a Lie ideal of A if [L;A] ⊆ L. A non-central square closed Lie ideal L of A is known as an admissible Lie ideal. The main result of the present paper states that under certain restrictions on A, every generalized Jordan triple higher derivation of L into A is a generalized higher derivation of L into A.

6. Weak Solutions for Nonlinear Parabolic Equations with Variable Exponents

Lingeshwaran Shangerganesh ; Arumugam Gurusamy ; Krishnan Balachandran.
In this work, we study the existence and uniqueness of weak solu- tions of fourth-order degenerate parabolic equation with variable exponent using the di erence and variation methods.
