Planting Kurepa trees and killing Jech-Кunen trees in a model by using one inaccessible cardinal

Saharon Shelah, R. Jin (1992)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

By an ω 1 - tree we mean a tree of power ω 1 and height ω 1 . Under CH and 2 ω 1 > ω 2 we call an ω 1 -tree a Jech-Kunen tree if it has κ-many branches for some κ strictly between ω 1 and 2 ω 1 . In this paper we prove that, assuming the existence of one inaccessible cardinal, (1) it is consistent with CH plus 2 ω 1 > ω 2 that there exist Kurepa trees and there are no Jech-Kunen trees, which answers a question of [Ji2], (2) it is consistent with CH plus 2 ω 1 = ω 4 that there only exist Kurepa trees with ω 3 -many branches, which answers another...

P-NDOP and P-decompositions of ϵ -saturated models of superstable theories

Saharon Shelah, Michael C. Laskowski (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Given a complete, superstable theory, we distinguish a class P of regular types, typically closed under automorphisms of ℭ and non-orthogonality. We define the notion of P-NDOP, which is a weakening of NDOP. For superstable theories with P-NDOP, we prove the existence of P-decompositions and derive an analog of the first author's result in Israel J. Math. 140 (2004). In this context, we also find a sufficient condition on P-decompositions that implies non-isomorphic models. For this, we investigate...

Poincaré - Verdier duality in o-minimal structures

Mário J. Edmundo, Luca Prelli (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Here we prove a Poincaré - Verdier duality theorem for the o-minimal sheaf cohomology with definably compact supports of definably normal, definably locally compact spaces in an arbitrary o-minimal structure.

Pointwise convergence and the Wadge hierarchy

Alessandro Andretta, Alberto Marcone (2001)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We show that if X is a Σ 1 1 separable metrizable space which is not σ -compact then C p * ( X ) , the space of bounded real-valued continuous functions on X with the topology of pointwise convergence, is Borel- Π 1 1 -complete. Assuming projective determinacy we show that if X is projective not σ -compact and n is least such that X is Σ n 1 then C p ( X ) , the space of real-valued continuous functions on X with the topology of pointwise convergence, is Borel- Π n 1 -complete. We also prove a simultaneous improvement of theorems of Christensen...

Polyadic algebras over nonclassical logics

Don Pigozzi, Antonino Salibra (1993)

Banach Center Publications

The polyadic algebras that arise from the algebraization of the first-order extensions of a SIC are characterized and a representation theorem is proved. Standard implicational calculi (SIC)'s were considered by H. Rasiowa [19] and include classical and intuitionistic logic and their various weakenings and fragments, the many-valued logics of Post and Łukasiewicz, modal logics that admit the rule of necessitation, BCK logic, etc.

Polynomial time bounded truth-table reducibilities to padded sets

Vladimír Glasnák (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We study bounded truth-table reducibilities to sets of small information content called padded (a set is in the class f -PAD of all f -padded sets, if it is a subset of { x 10 f ( | x | ) - | x | - 1 ; x { 0 , 1 } * } ). This is a continuation of the research of reducibilities to sparse and tally sets that were studied in many previous papers (for a good survey see [HOW1]). We show necessary and sufficient conditions to collapse and separate classes of bounded truth-table reducibilities to padded sets. We prove that depending on two properties of a...

Polynomially Bounded Sequences and Polynomial Sequences

Hiroyuki Okazaki, Yuichi Futa (2015)

Formalized Mathematics

In this article, we formalize polynomially bounded sequences that plays an important role in computational complexity theory. Class P is a fundamental computational complexity class that contains all polynomial-time decision problems [11], [12]. It takes polynomially bounded amount of computation time to solve polynomial-time decision problems by the deterministic Turing machine. Moreover we formalize polynomial sequences [5].

Poset-valued preference relations

Vladimír Janiš, Susana Montes, Branimir Šešelja, Andreja Tepavčević (2015)

Kybernetika

In decision processes some objects may not be comparable with respect to a preference relation, especially if several criteria are considered. To provide a model for such cases a poset valued preference relation is introduced as a fuzzy relation on a set of alternatives with membership values in a partially ordered set. We analyze its properties and prove the representation theorem in terms of particular order reversing involution on the co-domain poset. We prove that for every set of alternatives...
