A Characterization of Zero Divisors and Topological Divisors of Zero in $C[a, b]$ and $\ell^\infty$

We give a characterization of zero divisors of the ring $C[a,b].$ Using the Weierstrass approximation theorem, we completely characterize topological divisors of zero of the Banach algebra $C[a,b].$ We also characterize the zero divisors and topological divisors of zero in $\ell^\infty.$ Further, we show that zero is the only zero divisor in the disk algebra $\mathscr{A}(\mathbb{D})$ and that the class of singular elements in $\mathscr{A}(\mathbb{D})$ properly contains the class of topological divisors of zero. Lastly, we construct a class of topological divisors of zero of $\mathscr{A}(\mathbb{D})$ which are not zero divisors.

Zero divisors and topological divisors of zero in certain Banach algebras

In this paper we prove that an element $f\in \mathcal{A}(\mathbb{D})$ is a topological divisor of zero(TDZ) if and only if there exists $z_0 \in \mathbb{T}$ such that $f(z_0)=0.$ We also give a characterization of TDZ in the Banach algebra $L^\infty(\mu).$ Further, we prove that the multiplication operator $M_h$ is a TDZ in $\mathcal{B}(L^p(\mu))~(1\leq p\leq\infty)$ if and only if $h$ is a TDZ in $L^\infty(\mu).$ Subsequently, we show that a composition operator $C_{\phi}$ is a TDZ in $\mathcal{B}(L^2(\mu))$ if and only if $\frac{d\mu \phi^{-1}}{d\mu}$ is a TDZ in $L^{\infty}(\mu).$ Lastly, we determine composition operators on the Hardy spaces $\mathbb{H}^p(\mathbb{D})$ and $\ell^p$ spaces which are zero-divisors.

A class of Zero Divisors and Topological Divisors of Zero in some Banach algebras

In this paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions that must be met for weighted composition operators to act as zero divisors in $\mathcal{B}(\ell^p).$ We also give a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for a composition operators to act as zero divisors in $\mathcal{B}(L^p(\mu)).$ Subsequently, we characterize TDZ in $C(X)$. Afterward, we establish that a multiplication operator $M_h$ in $\mathcal{B}(C(X))$ becomes a TDZ if and only if $h$ is a TDZ in $C(X).$ Further, motivated by the definition of TDZ, we introduce notions of polynomially TDZ and strongly TDZ and prove that every element in $C(X)$ and in $L^\infty(\mu)$ is a polynomially TDZ. We then prove that a multiplication operator $M_h$ in $\mathcal{B}(C(X))$ as well as in $\mathcal{B}(L^p(\mu))$ is a polynomially TDZ. Lastly, we show that each $T\in \mathcal{B}(H)$, where $H$ is a separable Hilbert space, is a strongly TDZ.

On the Lie nilpotency index of modular group algebras

Let $KG$ be the modular group algebra of an arbitrary group $G$ over a field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$. It is seen that if $KG$ is Lie nilpotent, then its lower as well as upper Lie nilpotency index is at least $p+1$. The classification of group algebras $KG$ with upper Lie nilpotency index $t^{L}(KG)$ upto $9p-7$ have already been determined. In this paper, we classify the modular group algebra $KG$ for which the upper Lie nilpotency index is $10p-8$.

On unbiased simulations of stochastic bridges conditioned on extrema

Stochastic bridges are commonly used to impute missing data with a lower sampling rate to generate data with a higher sampling rate, while preserving key properties of the dynamics involved in an unbiased way. While the generation of Brownian bridges and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck bridges is well understood, unbiased generation of such stochastic bridges subject to a given extremum has been less explored in the literature. After a review of known results, we compare two algorithms for generating Brownian bridges constrained to a given extremum, one of which generalises to other diffusions. We further apply this to generate unbiased Ornstein-Uhlenbeck bridges and unconstrained processes, both constrained to a given extremum, along with more tractable numerical approximations of these algorithms. Finally, we consider the case of drift, and applications to geometric Brownian motions.

Numerical simulation of MHD boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a nonlinear stretching sheet in the porous medium with viscous dissipation using hybrid approach

In the present study, MHD boundary layer flow with heat and mass transfer of a nanofluid with viscous dissipation over a non-linear stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium is studied. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are converted into coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations which are solved by hybrid technique consisting of finite element method with symbolic computation. The effect of Viscous dissipation, magnetic influence parameter, permeability parameter, Brownian motion, Eckert number, Thermophoresis parameter, Prandtl number parameter, Dufour Lewis number and nanofluid Lewis number are studied for velocity $(f'(η))$, temperature $(θ(η))$, concentration of salt ($S(η)$) and concentration of nanoparticles $(γ(η))$ and results are shown graphically. Applications of such type of problems are found in the electromagnetic control of complex magnetic nanofluid materials relevant to energy and biomedical systems.

Study of bioheat transfer phase change during cryosurgery for an irregular tumor tissue using EFGM

Cryosurgery has been consistently used as an effective treatment to eradicate irregular tumor tissues. During this process, many difficulties occur such as intense cooling may also damage the neighboring normal tissues due to the release of large amount of cold from the cooling probe. In order to protect the normal tissues in the vicinity of target tumor tissues, coolant was released in a regulated manner accompanied with the nanoparticle to regulate the size and orientation of ice balls formed together with improved probe capacity. The phase change occurs in the target tumor tissues during cryosurgery treatment. The effective heat capacity method is used for simulation of phase change in bio-heat transfer equation to take into account the latent heat of phase transition. The bio-heat transfer equation is solved by using element free Galerkin method (EFGM) to simulate the phase change problem of biological tissues subject to nano cryosurgery. In this study, Murshed model with cylindrical nanoparticles is used for the high thermal conductivity of nanofluids as compared to Leong Model with the spherical nanoparticle. The important effects of the interfacial layer at the mushy region (i.e. liquid to the solid interface), size and concentration of nanoparticles are shown on the freezing process. This type of problem has applications in biomedical treatment such as drug delivery. Application of cryosurgery in bio-fluids used for drug delivery in cancer therapy can be made more efficient in the presence of nanoparticles (such as Iron oxide ($Fe_{3}O_{4}$), alumina ($Al_{2}O_{3}$) and gold ($Au$)).
