A solution of a problem of B. Rotman
In 1990, Comfort asked Question 477 in the survey book “Open Problems in Topology”: Is there, for every (not necessarily infinite) cardinal number , a topological group G such that is countably compact for all cardinals γ < α, but is not countably compact? Hart and van Mill showed in 1991 that α = 2 answers this question affirmatively under . Recently, Tomita showed that every finite cardinal answers Comfort’s question in the affirmative, also from . However, the question has remained...
Using the method of forcing we prove that consistently there is a Banach space (of continuous functions on a totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space) of density κ bigger than the continuum where all operators are multiplications by a continuous function plus a weakly compact operator and which has no infinite-dimensional complemented subspaces of density continuum or smaller. In particular no separable infinite-dimensional subspace has a complemented superspace of density continuum or smaller,...
An approach to choice function theory is suggested which is probabilistic and non-deterministic. In the framework of this approach fuzzy choice functions are introduced and a number of necessary and sufficient conditions for a fuzzy choice function to be a fuzzy rational choice function of a certain type are established.
It is proved that the class of separable Rosenthal compacta on the Cantor set having a uniformly bounded dense sequence of continuous functions is strongly bounded.
It is consistent that there exists a graph X of cardinality such that every graph has an edge coloring with colors in which the induced copies of X (if there are any) are totally multicolored (get all possible colors).
The concept of s-basis operators over intuitionistic fuzzy sets is introduced and all 2-, 3-, 4- basis operators are listed.
In this paper a fuzzy relation-based framework is shown to be suitable to describe not only knowledge-based medical systems, explicitly using fuzzy approaches, but other ways of knowledge representation and processing. A particular example, the practically tested medical expert system Disco, is investigated from this point of view. The system is described in the fuzzy relation-based framework and compared with CADIAG-II-like systems that are a “pattern” for computer-assisted diagnosis systems based...
We define combinatorial structures which we refer to as flat morasses, and use them to construct a Lindelöf space with points of cardinality , consistent with GCH. The construction reveals, it is hoped, that flat morasses are a tool worth adding to the kit of any user of set theory.
