where σ, τ ∈ C([t0,∞),(0,∞)),
q Î C([t0,∞), [0,∞)) and
f ∈ C([t0,∞) ×R,R). The obtained results extended and improve
several of the well known previously results in the literature. Our
results are illustrated with an example.

Key words:
Characteritic function, 2-contraction, Taylor spectrum.
In this paper, we give a description of Taylor spectrum of commuting
2-contractions in terms of characteritic functions of such contractions. The

generalied in this work.

derivation ranges, D-symmetric operators.
Let H be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let
A, B ∈ L(H), where L(H) is the algebra
of operators on H into itself. Let δAB:
L(H) → L(H) denote the generalized derivation
δAB(X) = AX − XB. This note will initiate a study on the class of pairs (A,B) such that [‾(R(δAB))] = [‾(R(δB*A*))]; i.e.
[‾(R(δAB))] is self-adjoint.
PREDEGREE POLYNOMIALS OF PLANE CONFIGURATIONS IN

Key words:
Planes, hyperplanes, arrangements, configurations.
We work over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.
The group PGL(4) acts naturally on PN which
parameterizes surfaces of a given degree in P3. The
orbit of a surface under this action is the image of a rational map
PGL(4) ⊂ P15→PN. The
closure of the orbit is a natural and interesting object to study.
Its predegree is defined as the degree of the orbit closure
multiplied by the degree of the above map restricted to a
general Pj, j being the dimension of the orbit. We
find the predegrees and other invariants for all surfaces supported
on unions of planes. The information is encoded in the so-called
predegree polynomials , which possess nice multiplicative
properties allowing us to compute the predegree (polynomials) of
various special plane configurations.
The predegree has both combinatorial and geometric significance. The
results obtained in this paper would be a necessary step in the
solution of the problem of computing predegrees for all surfaces.

Key words:
Sasakian manifolds, semi-slant warped
product submanifold, contact CR-submanifold, warped product
manifold.
In the present note, it is proved that there donot exist warped
product semi-slant submanifolds in a Sasakian manifold other than
contact CR-warped product submanifolds and thus the results obtained
in [8] are generalized.

Nonsmooth optimization, Dini
directional derivatives, quasiconvex functions, pseudoconvex
functions, quasiconvex programming, Kuhn-Tucker conditions.
The constrained optimization problem min f(x), gj(x) ≤ 0
(j = 1,…p) is considered, where f : X → R and
gj : X → R are nonsmooth functions with domain
X ⊂ Rn. First-order necessary and first-order
sufficient optimality conditions are obtained when gj are
quasiconvex functions. Two are the main features of the paper: to
treat nonsmooth problems it makes use of Dini derivatives; to obtain
more sensitive conditions, it admits directionally dependent
multipliers. The two cases, where the Lagrange function satisfies a
non-strict and a strict inequality, are considered. In the case of a
non-strict inequality pseudoconvex functions are involved and in
their terms some properties of the convex programming problems are
generalized. The efficiency of the obtained conditions is
illustrated on examples.

Unital Banach
algebra, strongly extreme point, midpoint modulus of local

We estimate the (midpoint) modulus of convexity at the unit

inf {max±||1 ± x|| − 1 : x ∈ A, ||x||=ε}
≥ (π/4e)ε²+o(ε²)
as ε → 0. We also give a characterization of
two-dimensional subspaces of Banach algebras containing the identity
in terms of polynomial inequalities.

ON THE RECURSIVE ESTIMATION OF THE LOCATION AND OF THE

Key words:
Location and size of the mode, nonparametric
estimation, stochastic approximation algorithms, averaging
principle.
Tsybakov [31] introduced the method of stochastic approximation to
construct a recursive estimator of the location q of the mode
of a probability density. The aim of this paper is to provide a
companion algorithm to Tsybakov's algorithm, which allows to
simultaneously recursively approximate the size m of the mode.
We provide a precise study of the joint weak convergence rate of
both estimators. Moreover, we introduce the averaging principle of
stochastic approximation algorithms to construct asymptotically
efficient algorithms approximating the couple (q,m).
