Classification of bank account agreements by N.V. Syropiatova

“…It has been suggested to differentiate between three groups of contracts: the first group includes the contracts that have common functions for all bank account agreements; the second one covers the contracts that have some specific functions that distinguish certain types of bank account agreements from each other; and the last one comprises the bank account agreements that have strictly specific functions that include contracts for special bank accounts. …”

Semigroup Generation Theorems of Anti-Triangular Operator Matrices and Their Application by Jie Liu, Junjie Huang, Jiahui Yu, Jingying Gao

“…Based on the space decomposition, some necessary and sufficient conditions are given for M to generate contraction semigroups. In addition, the anti-triangular differential system, converted from the damping wave equation, is used to explain our work, and it is proved that the corresponding anti-triangular operator matrix satisfies the conditions and generates a contraction semigroup.…”
