Approximating Radon measures on first-countable compact spaces

Grzegorz Plebanek (2000)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The assertion every Radon measure defined on a first-countable compact space is uniformly regular is shown to be relatively consistent. We prove an analogous result on the existence of uniformly distributed sequences in compact spaces of small character. We also present two related examples constructed under CH.

Asymptotic stability of a linear Boltzmann-type equation

Roksana Brodnicka, Henryk Gacki (2014)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We present a new necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic stability of Markov operators acting on the space of signed measures. The proof is based on some special properties of the total variation norm. Our method allows us to consider the Tjon-Wu equation in a linear form. More precisely a new proof of the asymptotic stability of a stationary solution of the Tjon-Wu equation is given.

Cardinality of some convex sets and of their sets of extreme points

Zbigniew Lipecki (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We show that the cardinality of a compact convex set W in a topological linear space X satisfies the condition that = . We also establish some relations between the cardinality of W and that of extrW provided X is locally convex. Moreover, we deal with the cardinality of the convex set E(μ) of all quasi-measure extensions of a quasi-measure μ, defined on an algebra of sets, to a larger algebra of sets, and relate it to the cardinality of extrE(μ).

Countable tightness in the spaces of regular probability measures

Grzegorz Plebanek, Damian Sobota (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that if K is a compact space and the space P(K × K) of regular probability measures on K × K has countable tightness in its weak* topology, then L₁(μ) is separable for every μ ∈ P(K). It has been known that such a result is a consequence of Martin's axiom MA(ω₁). Our theorem has several consequences; in particular, it generalizes a theorem due to Bourgain and Todorčević on measures on Rosenthal compacta.
