A further extension of maps with non-unique fixed points1--4
Ljubomir Ćirić and Nikola Jotić

Abstract

A wider class of mappings in metric spaces, which have a non-unique fixed point, is introduced and investigated. Presented fixed point theorems include as special cases the corresponding theorems of Dhage, Pachpatte and the first author.

The compatibility of the tangency relations of sets in generalized metric spaces17--22
Tadeusz Konik

Abstract

In this paper the problem of the compatibility of the tangency relations $T_{l_i}(a_i,b_i,k,p)$ ($i=1,2$) of sets of the classes $\tilde M_{p,k}$ and $A^*_{p,k}$ in a generalized metric space is considered. Some sufficient conditions for the compatibility of these relations of sets of the above classes are given here.

On nearly paracompact spaces via regular even covers23--29
M. N. Mukherjee and Atasi Debray

Abstract

The concept of near paracompactness is a well known weaker form of paracompactness, first introduced by Singal and Arya [6], followed by its further pursuit by many others. In the present paper, the same concept has been investigated in terms of a certain type of cover, called regular even cover. A number of characterizations of almost regular nearly paracompact spaces, including those analogous to the famous Michael's results on a regular paracompact space, have been achieved.

Applications of characteristic equation of linear delay difference equations31--36
Hajnalka Péics

Abstract

Linear delay difference equations as well as generalized characteristic equations and their importance at oscillation of all solutions of considered difference equations are studied in this paper. Some results of comparison of solutions of difference equations and inequalities as well as conditions for the existence of positive solutions are presented as the application of the generalized characteristic equation.

On S-closed and extremally disconnected fuzzy topological spaces37--45
Zlata Petričević

Abstract

The concepts of a filter-base and s-convergence and $\theta$-convergence of a filter-base in a fuzzy setting are defined and investigated. Fuzzy filter-base is used to characterize fuzzy S-closed and extremally disconnected spaces. Several other properties of these two types of spaces and comparison between different forms of compactness in fuzzy topology are established.

A study on generalized Ricci 2-recurrent spaces47--52
U. C. De and S. Bandyopadhyay

Abstract

The object of the present paper is to study some properties of generalized Ricci 2-recurrent spaces. At first it is proved that every 3-% dimensional generalized Ricci 2-recurrent space is a generalized 2-recurrent space. In section 3, it is shown that for such a space Ricci-principal invariant is $1/2R$. In section 4 we find a necessary condition for such a space to be a Ricci-recurrent space. Next it is proved that a conformally symmetric Ricci 2-recurrent space is a generalized 2-recurrent space and a conformally symmetric generalized Ricci 2-recurrent space with definite metric and zero scalar curvature can not exist. Lastly an example of a generalized Ricci 2-recurrent space is also constructed.

On Laplace autoregressive time series models53--56
Momčilo Novković

Abstract

This paper presents some recent time series models (the so-% called NAREX(1) models) for Laplace variables with first order autoregressive structures. They are analogs of standard AR(1) model and of the LAR(1), NLAR(1) and AREX(1) models, introduced by Andel, Lawrance, Lewis, Jevremovi{\cj} and others. Some of their models can be obtained from NAREX models as special cases. The distribution of the innovation sequence (a probability mixture) and the autoregressive structure of NAREX processes are discussed as well.

Mileva Prvanović

Abstract

We find a tensor of Kähler type for an almost Hermitian and almost para-Hermitian manifold. We show that this tenosr is closely related with the problem of almost Hermitian and almost para-Hermitian manifold with pointwise constant holomorphic sectional curvature.

Corrigendum to ``A note on wavelets and S-asymptotics''65--66
Arpad Takači and Nenad Teofanov

Abstract

The paper {\bf A Note on Wavelets and S--asymptotics}, by A. Takači and N. Teofanov, appeared in Matematički Vesnik, Vol.\ {\bf49}, 3--4 (1997), 215--220. Unfortunately, due to an editorial error, an old version of the paper was printed. In order to correct this error, we give the correct end of the paper, starting from the eight line on page 218 (after the end of Proof of Theorem 1). We apologize to the authors and to the readers.
