Abstract. We establish some new criteria for the oscillation of second-order nonlinear difference equations with a sublinear neutral term. This is accomplished by reducing the involved nonlinear equation to a linear inequality.
Keywords. Neutral term, nonlinear difference equation, oscillation.

Abstract. In this paper, we solve the difference equation \[ x_{n+1}=\frac{\alpha}{x_nx_{n-1}-1}, \quad n=0,1,\dots, \] where $\alpha>0$ and the initial values $x_{-1}$, $x_{0}$ are real numbers. We find some invariant sets and discuss the global behavior of the solutions of that equation. We show that when $\alpha>\frac{2}{3\sqrt3}$, under certain conditions there exist solutions, that are either periodic or converging to periodic solutions. We show also the existence of dense solutions in the real line. Finally, we show that when $\alpha<\frac{2}{3\sqrt3}$, one of the negative equilibrium points attracts all orbits with initials outside a set of Lebesgue measure zero.
Keywords. Difference equation, forbidden set, periodic solution, unbounded solution.

Abstract. In the present work we investigate the approximation of the functions by the Zygmund means in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces. Here the estimate which is obtained depends on sequence of the best approximation in Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent. Also, these results were applied to estimates of approximations of Zygmund sums in Smirnov classes with variable exponent defined on simply connected domains of the complex plane.
Keywords. Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent, best approximation by trigonometric polynomials, Zygmund means, modulus of smoothness.

Abstract. In this paper, the fascinating Julia and Mandelbrot sets for the complex-valued transcendental functions $z\rightarrow\sin(z^m)+c$, $(m\geq 2)\in\mathbb{N}$ have been obtained in Picard, Ishikawa and Noor orbits. The purpose of the paper is to visualize transcendental Julia and Mandelbrot sets in Picard-Mann hybrid orbit.
Keywords. Transcendental functions, Picard-Mann hybrid iterates, Picard-Mann hybrid Julia sets, Picard-Mann hybrid Mandelbrot sets.

Abstract. We consider the entire functions \[ h(z)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{a_{k}z^{k}}{k!} \quad\mbox{and}\quad \tilde h(z)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{\tilde a_kz^{k}}{k!} \] $( a_0=\tilde a_0=1; z, a_k, \tilde a_k\in {\bf C}, k=1, 2, \dots )$, provided \[ \sum_{k=0}^\infty |a_{k}|^2<\infty, \sum_{k=0}^\infty |\tilde a_{k}|^2<\infty \] and all the zeros of $h(z)$ are in a half-plane. We investigate the following problem: how small should be the quantity $q:=(\sum_{k=1}^\infty |a_k-\tilde a_k|^2)^{1/2}$ in order to all the zeros of $\tilde h(z)$ lie in the same half-plane?
Keywords. Entire functions, zeros, perturbations.

Abstract. Let $M$ be a $\Gamma$-ring and $S\subseteq M$. A mapping $f:M\rightarrow M$ is called strong commutativity preserving on $S$ if $[f(x),f(y)]_{\alpha}=[x,y]_{\alpha}$, for all $x,y\in S$, $\alpha\in\Gamma$. In the present paper, we investigate the commutativity of the prime $\Gamma$-ring $M$ of characteristic not $2$ with center $Z(M)\neq (0)$ admitting a derivation which is strong commutativity preserving on a nonzero square closed Lie ideal $U$ of $M$. Moreover, we also obtain a related result when a mapping $d$ is assumed to be a derivation on $U$ satisfying the condition $d(u)\circ_{\alpha}d(v)=u\circ_{\alpha}v$, for all $u,v\in U$, $\alpha\in \Gamma$.
Keywords. Prime gamma rings, Lie ideals, derivations, strong commutativity preserving maps.

Abstract. We introduce and study the almost topological groups which are fundamentally a generalization of topological groups. Almost topological groups are defined by using almost continuous mappings in the sense of Singal and Singal. We investigate some permanence properties of almost topological groups. It is proved that translation of a regularly open (resp. regularly closed) set in an almost topological group is regularly open (resp. regularly closed). And this fact gives us a lot of important and useful results of almost topological groups.
Keywords. Regularly open sets, regularly closed sets, almost topological groups.

Abstract. In this paper, the concept of upper and lower solutions method combined with the fixed point theorem of Bohnenblust-Karlin is used to investigate the existence of solutions for a class of boundary value problem for Caputo-Hadamard fractional differential inclusions. Some background concerning multivalued functions and set-valued analysis is also included.
Keywords. Fractional differential inclusion; Caputo-Hadamard fractional derivative; fixed point; boundary condition; upper solution; lower solution.

Abstract. In this paper, we introduce the concept of sequential $\mathcal{I}$-convergence spaces and $\mathcal{I}$-Fréchet-Urysohn space and study their properties. We give a sufficient condition for the product of two sequential $\mathcal{I}$-convergence spaces to be a sequential $\mathcal{I}$-convergence space. Finally, we introduce sequential $\mathcal{I}$-convergence groups and obtain an $\mathcal{I}$-completion of these groups satisfying certain conditions.
Keywords. Ideal, admissible ideal, $\mathcal{I}$-Fréchet-Urysohn space, sequential $\mathcal{I}$-convergence space, $\mathcal{I}$-completion.
