Mathematica Moravica, Vol. 2 (1998), 9–19.
Download PDF file: (375kB) | Abstract and keywords
Abstract. This paper gives some introductory notes on mul­ti-criterion decision making. It addresses to the known division into models of multi-purpose decision making and multi-attribution de­cision making or multi-criterion analysis, general notion of models, terminology, taxonomy of methods as well as significance of inter­active methods and the role of a decision maker in the procedure of solution making. The first out of a set of significant facets of implementation of multi-criterion decision making models is shown further: marginal solutions and their consequences, that is an exam­ination of a possibility of perfect solution of the said model.
Keywords. Multi-criterion optimization, multi-purpose decision making, multi-attribution optimization, multi-criterion analysis, mathematical model, methods, software.

Tauberian Theorems for Generalized Abelian Summability Methods (part of PhD thesis)
Mathematica Moravica, Vol. 2 (1998), 21–66.
Download PDF file: (1181kB) | Abstract and keywords
Abstract. We introduce and study a significant generaliza­tion of Abel's summability method, and their corresponding limiting process. This leads to an analogue to Hardy-Littlewood Tauberian Theorem.The first section includes an introduction to some basic concepts of summability methods and a survey of classical and neoclassical results. In the second section a general summability method is designed and some related Tauberian theorems are established. In the third section higher order of Abel's summability methods are obtained as a special case of a general summability method and the general Littlewood theorem is proved for those summabil­ity methods. Finally we give Tauberian theorems corresponding to $(C, m)$-summability methods and present some further convergence theorems.
Keywords. General summability methods, General Tauberian theorem.

Abstract. In this paper we prove a representation theorem for $\Delta RV$-sequences, which we call “Matuszewska sequences”, in the Bojanić-Seneta sense. We also find a connection between the class of $\Delta RV$-sequences and the functional Matuszewska class ERV, and the relations between the sequencial class $\Delta RV$ and the sequencial classes $RVS$ and $\ast RV$.
Keywords. Karamata's theory, sequencial class $\ast RV$, functional Matuszewska class, index funtion.

Abstract. Bisemilattice-valued fuzzy set ($B$-fuzzy set) is a mapping from a nonempty set to a bisemilattice. A $B$-fuzzy set has two families of level subsets, one for each ordering of the bisemilat­tice. In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions under which two families of subsets of a nonempty set are families of level subsets of a $B$-fuzzy set are given.
Keywords. Fuzzy sets, bisemilattices.

Schauder's 54th Problem in Scottish Book
Mathematica Moravica, Vol. 2 (1998), 121–132.
Download PDF file: (419kB) | Abstract and keywords
Abstract. The most famous of many problems in nonlinear analysis is Schauder's problem (Scottish Book, Problem 54) of the following form, that if $C$ is a nonempty convex compact subset of a linear topological space does every continuous mapping $f: C\to C$ has a fixed point?
The answer we give in this paper is yes. In this connection this paper proves and extends the Markoff-Kakutani theorem to arbitrary linear topological space as an immediate consequence of the preceding solution of Schauder's problem. During the last twenty years this old conjecture was intensively examined by many mathematians. For set in normed spaces this has been proved by Schauder and for sets in locally convex spaces by Tychonoff.
In this paper we prove that if $C$ is a nonempty convex compact subset of a linear topological space, then every continuous mapping $f: C\to C$ has a fixed point.
On the other hand, in this sense, we extend and connected former results of Brouwer, Schauder, Tychonoff, Markoff, Kakutani, Darbo, Sadovskij, Browder, Krasnoselskij, Ky Fan, Reinermann, Hukuhara, Mazur, Hahn, Ryll-Nardzewski, Day, Riedrich, Jahn, Eisenack-Fenske, Idzik, Kirk, Göhde, Granas, Dugundji, Klee and some others.
Keywords. Fixed point theorems, Brouwer's theorem, Schauder's theorem, Tychonof's theorem, Markoff's theorem, Kakutani's theorem, Sadovskij's theorem, Schauder's Conjecture (Scottish Book, Problem 54).

Abstract. In this paper we formulate a new structure of spaces which we call it transversal (upper or lower) spaces. We introduced the concept of transversal ordered (upper or lower) spaces as a natural extension of Fréchet's, Kurepa's and Menger's spaces.

On Topological n-Groups

Download PDF file: (315kB) | Abstract and keywords
Abstract. Let $(Q,A)$ be an $n$-group, $^{-1}$ its inversing operation [:[13,16],1.3], $n \geq 2$, and let $Q$ be equipped with a topology $\mathcal{O}$. Then, in this paper, we say that $Q,A,\mathcal{O}$ is topological $n$-group iff: a) the $n$-ary operation $A$ is continuous in $\mathcal{O}$, and b) the $(n-1)$-ary operation $^{-1}$ is continuous in $\mathcal{O}$. The main result of the paper is the following proposition. Let $(Q,A)$ be an $n$-group, $n \geq 3$, and let $(Q,\{\cdot, \varphi,b\})$ be an arbitrary $nHG$-algebra associated to the $n$-group $(Q,A)$ [:[15],1.5]. Also, $Q$ is equipped with a topology $\mathcal{O}$. Then, $(Q,A,\mathcal{O})$ is a topological $n$-group iff the following statements hold: 1) $(Q,\cdot, \mathcal{O})$ is a topological group [:e.g. [7]], and 2) the unary operation $\varphi$ is continuous in $\mathcal{O}$.
Keywords. $n$-semigroups, $n$-quasigroups, $n$-groups, $\{1,n\}$-neutral operations on $n$-groupoids, inversing operation on $n$-group, $nHG$-algebras, topological groups.

The purpose of this paper is to establish some identities containing Norlund-Bernoulli polynomials, which as one application, yield some results of Toscano [8], Kelisky [5] and Zhang and Guo [10] as special cases, as well as other identities involving Bernoulli-Euler and Fibonacci-Lucas or Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers.

Abstract. The skew operation in n-group $(n \geq 3)$ has been introduced in [1]. Using this operation, n-group has been described in [2] as a variety of type $\langle n,1\rangle$. Aim of this note is to connect the skew operation with neutral and inversing operations which have been introduced in [6] and [7].
