Let $H\subseteq Z\subseteq 2^{\omega }$. For n ≥ 2, we prove that if Selivanovski measurable functions from $2^{\omega }$ to Z give as preimages of H all Σₙ¹ subsets of $2^{\omega }$, then so do continuous injections.

In this note we shall prove that for a continuous function $\varphi :\Delta \to {ℝ}^n$, where $\Delta \subset ℝ$,  the paratingent of $\varphi$ at $a\in \Delta$ is a non-empty and compact set in ${ℝ}^n$ if and only if $\varphi$ satisfies Lipschitz condition in a neighbourhood of $a$. Moreover, in this case the paratingent is a connected set.

Let $M(X,𝒜)$ ($M^{*}(X,𝒜)$) be the $f$-ring of all (bounded) real-measurable functions on a $T$-measurable space $(X,𝒜)$, let $M_K(X,𝒜)$ be the family of all $f\in M(X,𝒜)$ such that $\mathrm{coz}\left(f\right)$ is compact, and let $M_{\infty }(X,𝒜)$ be all $f\in M(X,𝒜)$ that $\{x\in X:|f\left(x\right)|\ge \frac{1}{n}\}$ is compact for any $n\in \mathbb{N}$. We introduce realcompact subrings of $M(X,𝒜)$, we show that $M^{*}(X,𝒜)$ is a realcompact subring of $M(X,𝒜)$, and also $M(X,𝒜)$ is a realcompact if and only if $(X,𝒜)$ is a compact measurable space. For every nonzero real Riesz map $\varphi :M(X,𝒜)\to ℝ$, we prove that there is an element $x_0\in X$ such that $\varphi \left(f\right)=f\left(x_0\right)$ for every $f\in M(X,𝒜)$ if $(X,𝒜)$ is a compact measurable space....

Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers, and let $R=(r_1,...,r_m)$ and $S=(s_1,...,s_n)$ be nonnegative integral vectors. Let $A(R,S)$ be the set of all $m\times n$ $(0,1)$-matrices with row sum vector $R$ and column vector $S$. Let $R$ and $S$ be nonincreasing, and let $F\left(R\right)$ be the $m\times n$ $(0,1)$-matrix, where for each $i$, the $i$th row of $F(R,S)$ consists of $r_i$ 1’s followed by $(n-r_i)$ 0’s. Let $A\in A(R,S)$. The discrepancy of A, $\mathrm{disc}\left(A\right)$, is the number of positions in which $F\left(R\right)$ has a 1 and $A$ has a 0. In this paper we investigate linear operators mapping $m\times n$ matrices over...

Let $f^j={\sum }_k{a}_{k}f(2^{j+1}x-2k)$, where the sum is taken over the lattice of all points k in ${ℝ}^n$ having integer-valued components, j∈ℕ and $a_k\in ℂ$. Let $A_{pq}^s$ be either $B_{pq}^s$ or $F_{pq}^s$ (s ∈ ℝ, 0 < p < ∞, 0 < q ≤ ∞) on ${ℝ}^n.$ The aim of the paper is to clarify under what conditions $\parallel f^j|A_{pq}^s\parallel$ is equivalent to $2^{j(s-n/p)}({\sum }_k|a_k{|}^p{)}^{1/p}\parallel f|A_{pq}^s\parallel$.

Let n be a nonnegative integer and let u ∈ (n,n+1]. We say that f is u-times Peano bounded in the approximate (resp. $L^p$, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) sense at $x\in {ℝ}^m$ if there are numbers $f_{\alpha }\left(x\right)$, |α| ≤ n, such that $f(x+h)-{\sum }_{\left|\alpha \right|\le n}{f}_{\alpha }\left(x\right)h^{\alpha }/\alpha !$ is $O\left(h^u\right)$ in the approximate (resp. $L^p$) sense as h → 0. Suppose f is u-times Peano bounded in either the approximate or $L^p$ sense at each point of a bounded measurable set E. Then for every ε > 0 there is a perfect set Π ⊂ E and a smooth function g such that the Lebesgue measure of E∖Π is less than ε and...

For $X,Y\in {𝐌}_{n,m}$ it is said that $X$ is gut-majorized by $Y$, and we write $X{\prec }_{\mathrm{gut}}Y$, if there exists an $n$-by-$n$ upper triangular g-row stochastic matrix $R$ such that $X=RY$. Define the relation ${\sim }_{\mathrm{gut}}$ as follows. $X{\sim }_{\mathrm{gut}}Y$ if $X$ is gut-majorized by $Y$ and $Y$ is gut-majorized by $X$. The (strong) linear preservers of ${\prec }_{\mathrm{gut}}$ on ${ℝ}^n$ and strong linear preservers of this relation on ${𝐌}_{n,m}$ have been characterized before. This paper characterizes all (strong) linear preservers and strong linear preservers of ${\sim }_{\mathrm{gut}}$ on ${ℝ}^n$ and ${𝐌}_{n,m}$.

Let $F$ be a closed subset of ${ℝ}^n$ and let $P\left(x\right)$ denote the metric projection (closest point mapping) of $x\in {ℝ}^n$ onto $F$ in $l^p$-norm. A classical result of Asplund states that $P$ is (Fréchet) differentiable almost everywhere (a.e.) in ${ℝ}^n$ in the Euclidean case $p=2$. We consider the case $2<p<\infty$ and prove that the $i$th component $P_i\left(x\right)$ of $P\left(x\right)$ is differentiable a.e. if $P_i\left(x\right)\ne x_i$ and satisfies Hölder condition of order $1/(p-1)$ if $P_i\left(x\right)=x_i$.

Let ${𝕄}_{n,m}$ be the set of all $n\times m$ real or complex matrices. For $A,B\in {𝕄}_{n,m}$, we say that $A$ is row-sum majorized by $B$ (written as $A{\prec }^{\mathrm{rs}}B$) if $R\left(A\right)\prec R\left(B\right)$, where $R\left(A\right)$ is the row sum vector of $A$ and $\prec$ is the classical majorization on ${ℝ}^n$. In the present paper, the structure of all linear operators $T:{𝕄}_{n,m}\to {𝕄}_{n,m}$ preserving or strongly preserving row-sum majorization is characterized. Also we consider the concepts of even and circulant majorization on ${ℝ}^n$ and then find the linear preservers of row-sum majorization of these relations on ${𝕄}_{n,m}$. ...

A vector $x$ is said to be an eigenvector of a square max-min matrix $A$ if $A\otimes x=x$. An eigenvector $x$ of $A$ is called the greatest $𝐗$-eigenvector of $A$ if $x\in 𝐗=\{x;\underline{x}\le x\le \overline{x}\}$ and $y\le x$ for each eigenvector $y\in 𝐗$. A max-min matrix $A$ is called strongly $𝐗$-robust if the orbit $x,A\otimes x,A^2\otimes x,\cdots$ reaches the greatest $𝐗$-eigenvector with any starting vector of $𝐗$. We suggest an $O\left(n^3\right)$ algorithm for computing the greatest $𝐗$-eigenvector of $A$ and study the strong $𝐗$-robustness. The necessary and sufficient conditions for strong $𝐗$-robustness are introduced...

In a Tychonoff space $X$, the point $p\in X$ is called a $C^{*}$-point if every real-valued continuous function on $C\setminus \left\{p\right\}$ can be extended continuously to $p$. Every point in an extremally disconnected space is a $C^{*}$-point. A classic example is the space ${𝐖}^{*}={\omega }_1+1$ consisting of the countable ordinals together with ${\omega }_1$. The point ${\omega }_1$ is known to be a $C^{*}$-point as well as a $P$-point. We supply a characterization of $C^{*}$-points in totally ordered spaces. The remainder of our time is aimed at studying when a point in a product space...

We take another approach to the well known theorem of Korovkin, in the following situation: X, Y are compact Hausdorff spaces, M is a unital subspace of the Banach space C(X) (respectively, $C_{ℝ}\left(X\right)$) of all complex-valued (resp., real-valued) continuous functions on X, S ⊂ M a complex (resp., real) function space on X, ϕₙ a sequence of unital linear contractions from M into C(Y) (resp., $C_{ℝ}\left(Y\right)$), and ${\varphi }_{\infty }$ a linear isometry from M into C(Y) (resp., $C_{ℝ}\left(Y\right)$). We show, under the assumption that ${\Pi }_N\subset {\Pi }_T$, where ${\Pi }_N$ is...

Given a coarse space $(X,ℰ)$ with the bornology $ℬ$ of bounded subsets, we extend the coarse structure $ℰ$ from $X\times X$ to the natural coarse structure on $(ℬ\setminus \{\varnothing \left\}\right)\times (ℬ\setminus \{\varnothing \left\}\right)$ and say that a macro-uniform mapping $f:(ℬ\setminus \{\varnothing \left\}\right)\to X$ (or $f:{\left[X\right]}^2\to X$) is a selector (or 2-selector) of $(X,ℰ)$ if $f\left(A\right)\in A$ for each $A\in ℬ\setminus \left\{\varnothing \right\}$ ($A\in {\left[X\right]}^2$, respectively). We prove that a discrete coarse space $(X,ℰ)$ admits a selector if and only if $(X,ℰ)$ admits a 2-selector if and only if there exists a linear order “$\le$" on $X$ such that the family of intervals $\left\{\right[a,b]:a,b\in X,a\le b\}$ is a base for the bornology $ℬ$.
