The principle of mandatory criminal prosecution and the independence of public prosecutors in the Italian criminal justice system
2010
The purpose of this article is to explain the reasons for adopting, in Italy, the principle of mandatory criminal prosecution. This rule is closely connected to the role and functions of Italian public prosecutors. The supreme guarantee deriving from the rule governing the mandatory status of criminal prosecution is to safeguard the equal treatment of all citizens before criminal law. This is possible only if criminal prosecution is the responsibility of a public body carrying out public functions without any external interference. This is the reason for the independence of public prosecutors from the other powers of the state. But, there has been a tendency to separate the status of public…
Excusiology. Tentativo di una traduzione penalistica dell’effetto Lucifero
2020
The article tries to figure out whether and to what extent the situationist approach by Philip Zimbardo, as it emerges in The Lucifer Effect, can be translated into penal terms. The notorious case of Abu Ghraib, as presented by Zimbardo in his book, is used as a test. The article is divided into three parts. The first part is devoted to reconstructing the features of the “Abu Ghraib situation” (AGs), which is described by Zimbardo as a total situation causing deindividuation (in authors) and dehumanization (of victims). In the second part, the AGs’ features are compared to those of moral coercion: while the latter is generally assumed to have a transformative effect on the moral value of th…
A fixed point theorem for (varphi,L)-weak contraction mappings on a partial metric space
2014
In this paper, we explore (varphi,L)-weak contractions of Berinde by obtaining Suzuki-type fixed point results. Thus, we obtain generalized fixed point results for Kannan's, Chatterjea's and Zamfirescu's mappings on a 0-complete partial metric space. In this way we obtain very general fixed point theorems that extend and generalize several related results from the literature.
C*-seminorms and representation on partial *-algebras
2008
In this paper we investigate the *-representations of a partial *-algebra A. In particular, it is proved that, if A is semiassociative and if the set of right multipliers is dense with respect to a seminorm p on A, there exists a bounded and regular *-represenation on A.
Existence of two positive solutions for anisotropic nonlinear elliptic equations
2021
This paper deals with the existence of nontrivial solutions for a class of nonlinear elliptic equations driven by an anisotropic Laplacian operator. In particular, the existence of two nontrivial solutions is obtained, adapting a two critical point results to a suitable functional framework that involves the anisotropic Sobolev spaces.
Common fixed points of generalized Mizoguchi-Takahashi type contractions in partial metric spaces
2015
We give some common fixed point results for multivalued mappings in the setting of complete partial metric spaces. Our theorems extend and complement analogous results in the existing literature on metric and partial metric spaces. Finally, we provide an example to illustrate the new theory.
Fixed point results for weak contractive mappings in ordered K-metric spaces
2012
In this paper, we derive new coincidence and common fixed point theorems for self-maps satisfying a weak contractive condition in an ordered K-metric space. As application, the obtained results are used to prove an existence theorem of solutions of a nonlinear integral equation.
Fixed points for weak $\varphi$-contractions on partial metric spaces
2011
In this paper, following [W.A. Kirk, P.S. Srinivasan, P. Veeramani, Fixed points for mappings satisfying cyclical contractive conditions, Fixed Point Theory, 4 (2003) 79-89], we give a fixed point result for cyclic weak $\varphi$-contractions on partial metric space. A Maia type fixed point theorem for cyclic weak $\varphi$-contractions is also given.
The completion of a C*-algebra with a locally convex topology
2006
There are examples of C*-algebras A that accept a locally convex *-topology t coarser than the given one, such that Ae[t] (the completion of A with respect to t) is a GB*-algebra. The multiplication of A[t] may be or not be jointly continuous. In the second case, Ae[t] may fail being a locally convex *-algebra, but it is a partial *-algebra. In both cases the structure and the representation theory of Ae[t] are investigated. If A[t+] denotes the t-closure of the positive cone A+ of the given C*-algebra A, then the property A[t]+ \cap (−A[t]+) = {0} is decisive for the existence of certain faithful *-representations of the corresponding *-algebra Ae[t].
A note on partial*–algebras and spaces of distributions
2014
Given a rigged Hilbert space (D,H,D'), the spaces D_{loc are considered. It is shown that, if D is a Hilbert *-algebra, D_{loc} carry out a natural structure of partial *-algebra. Furthermore, on D_{loc} it is defined a topology, so that D_{loc} is an interspace. Examples from distributions theory are considered.
