First Order Characterizations of Pseudoconvex Functions

First order characterizations of pseudoconvex functions are investigated in terms of generalized directional derivatives. A connection with the invexity is analysed. Well-known first order characterizations of the solution sets of pseudolinear programs are generalized to the case of pseudoconvex programs. The concepts of pseudoconvexity and invexity do not depend on a single definition of the generalized directional derivative.

The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics

In October 1997 we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Institute for Mathematics and Informatics (IMI) of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS).

Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics, Sofia University

The Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics (FMI) of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” is briefly presented as an educational and research institution. The possible contribution of FMI to KT-DigiCULT-BG project is analyzed.

Digitization of Old Mathematical Periodicals Published by the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences

The digitization practice for retro-converting of the mathematical periodicals, published by the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IMI-BAS) and the followed benefits for long-term preserving and assuring open access to these materials is discussed in the article.

Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions for Partial Differential-Functional Equations of the First Order with Deviating Argument of the Derivative of Unknown Function

We consider the existence and uniqueness problem for partial differential-functional equations of the first order with the initial condition for which the right-hand side depends on the derivative of unknown function with deviating argument.

Corrigendum for "Weierstrass Points with first Non-Gap four on a Double Covering of a Hyperelliptic Curve"

In the proof of Lemma 3.1 in [1] we need to show that we may take the two points p and q with p ≠ q such that p+q+(b-2)g21(C′)∼2(q1+… +qb-1) where q1,…,qb-1 are points of C′, but in the paper [1] we did not show that p ≠ q. Moreover, we hadn't been able to prove this using the method of our paper [1]. So we must add some more assumption to Lemma 3.1 and rewrite the statements of our paper after Lemma 3.1. The following is the correct version of Lemma 3.1 in [1] with its proof.
