Let be a simplicial function space on a metric compact space . Then the Choquet boundary of is an -set if and only if given any bounded Baire-one function on there is an -affine bounded Baire-one function on such that on . This theorem yields an answer to a problem of F. Jellett from [8] in the case of a metrizable set .
Using classical results on conjugate functions, we give very short proofs of theorems of Erdös–Turán and Blatt concerning the angular distribution of the roots of polynomials. Then we study some examples.
This contribution deals with the dominance relation on the class of conjunctors, containing as particular cases the subclasses of quasi-copulas, copulas and t-norms. The main results pertain to the summand-wise nature of the dominance relation, when applied to ordinal sum conjunctors, and to the relationship between the idempotent elements of two conjunctors involved in a dominance relationship. The results are illustrated on some well-known parametric families of t-norms and copulas.
Equiintegrability in a compact interval may be defined as a uniform integrability property that involves both the integrand and the corresponding primitive . The pointwise convergence of the integrands to some and the equiintegrability of the functions together imply that is also integrable with primitive and that the primitives converge uniformly to . In this paper, another uniform integrability property called uniform double Lusin condition introduced in the papers E. Cabral...
We prove some results concerning the entropy of Darboux (and almost continuous) functions. We first generalize some theorems valid for continuous functions, and then we study properties which are specific to Darboux functions. Finally, we give theorems on approximating almost continuous functions by functions with infinite entropy.
Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33In the process of constructing empirical mathematical models of physical phenomena using the fractional calculus, investigators are usually faced with the choice of which definition of the fractional derivative to use, the Riemann-Liouville definition or the Caputo definition. This investigation presents the case that, with some minimal restrictions, the two definitions produce completely equivalent mathematical models of the linear viscoelastic phenomenon....
The purpose of this paper is to carry over to the o-minimal settings some results about the Euler characteristic of algebraic and analytic sets. Consider a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure on the field ℝ of reals. A () smooth definable function φ: U → ℝ on an open set U in ℝⁿ determines two closed subsets W := u ∈ U: φ(u) ≤ 0, Z := u ∈ U: φ(u) = 0. We shall investigate the links of the sets W and Z at the points u ∈ U, which are well defined up to a definable homeomorphism. It is proven...
We introduce the real valued real analytic function κ(t) implicitly defined by (κ(0) = -1/2). By studying the equation κ(t) = n (without making any unproved hypotheses), we show that (and how) this function is closely related to the (exact) position of the zeros of Riemann’s ζ(s) and ζ’(s). Assuming the Riemann hypothesis and the simplicity of the zeros of ζ(s), it follows that the ordinate of the zero 1/2 + iγₙ of ζ(s) is the unique solution to the equation κ(t) = n.
We present an existence theorem for integral equations of Urysohn-Volterra type involving fuzzy set valued mappings. A fixed point theorem due to Schauder is the main tool in our analysis.
