Covering spaces and irreducible partitions

D. J. Grubb (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

An irreducible partition of a space is a partition of that space into solid sets with a certain minimality property. Previously, these partitions were studied using the cup product in cohomology. This paper obtains similar results using the fundamental group instead. This allows the use of covering spaces to obtain information about irreducible partitions. This is then used to generalize Knudsen's construction of topological measures on the torus. We give examples of such measures that are invariant...

Covering the real line with translates of a zero-dimensional compact set

András Máthé (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We construct a compact set C of Hausdorff dimension zero such that cof(𝒩) many translates of C cover the real line. Hence it is consistent with ZFC that less than continuum many translates of a zero-dimensional compact set can cover the real line. This answers a question of Dan Mauldin.

Curvature bounds for neighborhoods of self-similar sets

Steffen Winter (2011)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In some recent work, fractal curvatures C k f ( F ) and fractal curvature measures C k f ( F , · ) , k = 0 , ... , d , have been determined for all self-similar sets F in d , for which the parallel neighborhoods satisfy a certain regularity condition and a certain rather technical curvature bound. The regularity condition is conjectured to be always satisfied, while the curvature bound has recently been shown to fail in some concrete examples. As a step towards a better understanding of its meaning, we discuss several equivalent formulations...

Cyclic space isomorphism of unitary operators

Krzysztof Frączek (1997)

Studia Mathematica

We introduce a new equivalence relation between unitary operators on separable Hilbert spaces and discuss a possibility to have in each equivalence class a measure-preserving transformation.

Decision-making for long memory data in technical-economic design, fractals and decision area bubbles

Václav Beran (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

Economic and management theories are very often based in their applications on the perception of homogeneity of the application space. The purpose of this article is to query such a conviction and indicate new possible directions of discipline development. The article deals with symbiosis of process and his steering model as a process of management. It is possible that in relative near future it will be necessary to accept approaches and changes in interpretations of decision-making. Applications...
