This thesis is a study of some axioms and theorems, and product spaces.

<p> The closed graph and open mapping theorems are two of the deeper results in the theory of locally convex spaces. They are very rich in their applications in functional analysis. This thesis contains some extensions of these theorems in locally convex spaces. We begin with a study of α-spaces, and γ-spaces, which leads us naturally to a study of δ-spaces. On these spaces, we prove closed graph and open mapping theorems. Similar theorems are also proved for certain classes of Br ('&)-spaces. In particular, a closed graph theorem for B(m)-spaces enables us to characterise certain classes of B( &. y)-spaces. A consideration of countability conditions in locally convex spaces enables us to prove open mapping theorems in Br (J )-spaces. These theorems are then used to relate boundedness of linear mappings and their graphs. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

This study gives detailed proofs of some limit theorems in probability which are important in theoretical and applied probability, The general introduction contains definitions and theorems that are basic tools of the later development. Included in this first chapter is material concerning normal distributions and characteristic functions, The second chapter introduces lower and upper bounds of the ratio of the binomial distribution to the normal distribution., Then these bound are used to prove the local Deioivre-Laplace limit theorem. The third chapter includes proofs of the central limit theorems for identically distributed and non-identically distributed random variables,

Este trabalho consiste de três partes: Teoremas de coordenatização de Wedderburn e de Zorn, O problema de Nathan Jacobson e Teoremas de Fatorização de Kronecker para as superálgebras alternativas. Na primeira parte apresentamos os teoremas de coordenatização de Wedderburn e de Zorn e suas aplicações na teoria de representações das álgebras associativas e alternativas. Na segunda parte resolvemos um problema de longa data que foi anunciado por Nathan Jacobson sobre a descrição das álgebras alternativas que contém M&#8322(F ) (álgebra associativa de matrizes 2 × 2) com o mesmo elemento identidade. Na terceira parte damos uma prova independente que é válida em qualquer característica do clássico Teorema de Fatorização de Kronecker de Nathan Jacobson. Generalizamos esse resultado e provamos um teorema de Fatorização de Kronecker para as superálgebras alternativas cuja parte par contém O com o mesmo elemento identidade. Além disso, provamos um Teorema de Fatorização de Kronecker para as superálgebras alternativas que contêm a superálgebra associativa M(1|1)(F ) com o mesmo elemento identidade. Como Corolário desse resultado, respondemos a um análogo do problema de Jacobson para as superálgebras alternativas, isto é, descrevemos as superálgebras alternativas que contêm à superálgebra associativa M(1|1)(F ) com o mesmo elemento identidade. Finalmente, estudamos as representações das superálgebras alternativa simples O(4,4) e O[u]. Classificamos os bimodules sobre essas superálgebras e provamos alguns análogos do Teorema de Fatorização de Kronecker para as superálgebras alternativas que contenham O(4|4) ou O[u] com o mesmo elemento identidade / This work consists of three parts: Wedderburn and Zorn coordinatizations theorems, Nathan Jacobsons problem and Kroneckers Factorization theorems for alternative superalgebras. In the first part we present Wedderburn and Zorn coordinatizations theorems and their applications in the theory of representations of associative and alternative algebras. In the second part we solve a long standing problem that was announced by Nathan Jacobson on the description of alternative algebras containing M&#8322(F ) (associative matrix algebra 2 × 2) with the same identity element. In the third part we give an independent proof that is valid in any characteristic of Nathan Jacobsons classic Kronecker Factorization Theorem. We generalize this result and prove a Kronecker Factorization Theorem for alternative superalgebras whose even part contains O with the same identity element. In addition, we prove a Kronecker Factorization Theorem for alternative superalgebras containing the associative superalgebra M(1|1)(F ) with the same identity element. As a corollary of this result, we respond to an analogue of Jacobsons problem for alternative superalgebras, that is, we describe the alternative superalgebras containing the associative superalgebra M(1|1)(F ) with the same identity element. Finally, we study the representations of the simple alternative superalgebras O(4|4) e O[u]. We classify the bimodules on these superalgebras and prove some analogues of the Kronecker Factorization Theorem for alternative superalgebras containing O(4|4) or O[u] with the same identity element

This thesis is a short survey for the comparison theorems and oscillation theorems for the second order half-linear equation [c(x)u'^{(p-1)}]'+a(x)u^{(p-1)}=0, where u^{(p-1)}=|u|^{p-2}u. Some examples are also given. The above equation is said to be oscillatory ( O ) if there exists a nontrivial solution having an infinite number of zeros in (0,¡Û); and non-oscillatory ( NO ) if otherwise. Oscillation theorems help to determine whether an equation is ( O ) or ( NO ). These comparison theorem and oscillation theorems give information for the number and position of zeros in (0,¡Û) for a nontrivial solution of the above equation. Materials in this thesis originate from the papers of Li-Yeh and the monograph of Dosly and Rehak. But Reid type comparison theorem is new.
