Functions characterized by images of sets

Krzysztof Ciesielski, Dikran Dikrajan, Stephen Watson (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For non-empty topological spaces X and Y and arbitrary families 𝒜 𝒫 ( X ) and 𝒫 ( Y ) we put 𝒞 𝒜 , =f ∈ Y X : (∀ A ∈ 𝒜 )(f[A] ∈ ) . We examine which classes of functions Y X can be represented as 𝒞 𝒜 , . We are mainly interested in the case when = 𝒞 ( X , Y ) is the class of all continuous functions from X into Y. We prove that for a non-discrete Tikhonov space X the class = 𝒞 (X,ℝ) is not equal to 𝒞 𝒜 , for any 𝒜 𝒫 ( X ) and 𝒫 (ℝ). Thus, 𝒞 (X,ℝ) cannot be characterized by images of sets. We also show that none of the following classes of...

Functions of Baire class one

Denny H. Leung, Wee-Kee Tang (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let K be a compact metric space. A real-valued function on K is said to be of Baire class one (Baire-1) if it is the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions. We study two well known ordinal indices of Baire-1 functions, the oscillation index β and the convergence index γ. It is shown that these two indices are fully compatible in the following sense: a Baire-1 function f satisfies β ( f ) ω ξ · ω ξ for some countable ordinals ξ₁ and ξ₂ if and only if there exists a sequence (fₙ) of Baire-1 functions...

Functions of bounded variation on compact subsets of the plane

Brenden Ashton, Ian Doust (2005)

Studia Mathematica

A major obstacle in extending the theory of well-bounded operators to cover operators whose spectrum is not necessarily real has been the lack of a suitable variation norm applicable to functions defined on an arbitrary nonempty compact subset σ of the plane. In this paper we define a new Banach algebra BV(σ) of functions of bounded variation on such a set and show that the function-theoretic properties of this algebra make it better suited to applications in spectral theory than those used previously....

Functions of bounded variation, signed measures, and a general Koksma-Hlawka inequality

Christoph Aistleitner, Josef Dick (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We prove a correspondence principle between multivariate functions of bounded variation in the sense of Hardy and Krause and signed measures of finite total variation, which allows us to obtain a simple proof of a generalized Koksma-Hlawka inequality for non-uniform measures. Applications of this inequality to importance sampling in Quasi-Monte Carlo integration and tractability theory are given. We also discuss the problem of transforming a low-discrepancy sequence with respect to the uniform measure...

Functions of class Ck without derivatives.

Gijs M. Tuynman (1997)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We describe a general axiomatic way to define functions of class Ck, k ∈ N∪{∞} on topological abelian groups. In the category of Banach spaces, this definition coincides with the usual one. The advantage of this axiomatic approach is that one can dispense with the notion of norms and limit procedures. The disadvantage is that one looses the derivative, which is replaced by a local linearizing factor. As an application we use this approach to define C∞ functions in the setting of graded/super manifolds....

Functions of finite fractional variation and their applications to fractional impulsive equations

Dariusz Idczak (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We introduce a notion of a function of finite fractional variation and characterize such functions together with their weak σ -additive fractional derivatives. Next, we use these functions to study differential equations of fractional order, containing a σ -additive term—we prove existence and uniqueness of a solution as well as derive a Cauchy formula for the solution. We apply these results to impulsive equations, i.e. equations containing the Dirac measures.

Functions with prescribed singularities

Giovanni Alberti, S. Baldo, G. Orlandi (2003)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The distributional k -dimensional Jacobian of a map u in the Sobolev space W 1 , k 1 which takes values in the sphere S k 1 can be viewed as the boundary of a rectifiable current of codimension k carried by (part of) the singularity of u which is topologically relevant. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the range of the Jacobian operator; in particular, we show that any boundary M of codimension k can be realized as Jacobian of a Sobolev map valued in S k 1 . In case M is polyhedral, the map we construct...

Fundamental solutions to the fractional heat conduction equation in a ball under Robin boundary condition

Yuriy Povstenko (2014)

Open Mathematics

The central symmetric time-fractional heat conduction equation with Caputo derivative of order 0 < α ≤ 2 is considered in a ball under two types of Robin boundary condition: the mathematical one with the prescribed linear combination of values of temperature and values of its normal derivative at the boundary, and the physical condition with the prescribed linear combination of values of temperature and values of the heat flux at the boundary, which is a consequence of Newton’s law of convective...
