On some functional equations from additive and nonadditive measures. IV.
We present a negative answer to problem 3.7(b) posed on page 193 of [2], where, in fact, A. Rosłanowski asked: Does every set of Lebesgue measure zero belong to some Mycielski ideal?
We introduce new properties of Hamel bases. We show that it is consistent with ZFC that such Hamel bases exist. Under the assumption that there exists a Hamel basis with one of these properties we construct a discontinuous and additive function that is Marczewski measurable. Moreover, we show that such a function can additionally have the intermediate value property (and even be an extendable function). Finally, we examine sums and limits of such functions.
We say that a function f from [0,1] to a Banach space X is increasing with respect to E ⊂ X* if x* ∘ f is increasing for every x* ∈ E. A function is separately increasing if it is increasing in each variable separately. We show that if X is a Banach space that does not contain any isomorphic copy of c₀ or such that X* is separable, then for every separately increasing function with respect to any norming subset there exists a separately increasing function such that the sets of points of discontinuity...
We investigate some geometrical properties of squares of special Sierpiński sets. In particular, we prove that (under CH) there exists a Sierpiński set S and a function p: S → S such that the images of the graph of this function under π'(⟨x,y⟩) = x - y and π''(⟨x,y⟩) = x + y are both Lusin sets.
Let (X,d,μ) be a space of homogeneous type. We study the relationship between two types of s-sets: relative to a distance and relative to a measure. We find a condition on a closed subset F of X under which F is an s-set relative to the measure μ if and only if F is an s-set relative to δ. Here δ denotes the quasi-distance defined by Macías and Segovia such that (X,δ,μ) is a normal space. In order to prove this result, we prove a covering type lemma and a type of Hausdorff measure based criterion...
We extend the notion of Dobrushin coefficient of ergodicity to positive contractions defined on the L¹-space associated with a finite von Neumann algebra, and in terms of this coefficient we prove stability results for L¹-contractions.
