We compare a recent selection theorem given by Chistyakov using the notion of modulus of variation, with a selection theorem of Schrader based on bounded oscillation and with a selection theorem of Di Piazza-Maniscalco based on bounded $𝒜,\Lambda$-oscillation.

A descriptive characterization of a Riemann type integral, defined by BV partition of unity, is given and the result is used to prove a version of the controlled convergence theorem.

The paper is concerned with integrability of the Fourier sine transform function when $f\in {\mathrm{BV}}_0\left(ℝ\right)$, where ${\mathrm{BV}}_0\left(ℝ\right)$ is the space of bounded variation functions vanishing at infinity. It is shown that for the Fourier sine transform function of $f$ to be integrable in the Henstock-Kurzweil sense, it is necessary that $f/x\in L^1\left(ℝ\right)$. We prove that this condition is optimal through the theoretical scope of the Henstock-Kurzweil integration theory.

We investigate the natural domain of definition of the Godbillon-Vey 2- dimensional cohomology class of the group of diffeomorphisms of the circle. We introduce the notion of area functionals on a space of functions on the circle, we give a sufficiently large space of functions with nontrivial area functional and we give a sufficiently large group of Lipschitz homeomorphisms of the circle where the Godbillon-Vey class is defined.

In the present paper, we investigate the existence of solutions to boundary value problems for the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation $-y^{\text{'}\text{'}}+qy=f$, where $q$ and $f$ are Henstock-Kurzweil integrable functions on $[a,b]$. Results presented in this article are generalizations of the classical results for the Lebesgue integral.

The main result is a Young-Stieltjes integral representation of the composition ϕ ∘ f of two functions f and ϕ such that for some α ∈ (0,1], ϕ has a derivative satisfying a Lipschitz condition of order α, and f has bounded p-variation for some p < 1 + α. If given α ∈ (0,1], the p-variation of f is bounded for some p < 2 + α, and ϕ has a second derivative satisfying a Lipschitz condition of order α, then a similar result holds with the Young-Stieltjes integral replaced by its extension.

We establish a connection between the L² norm of sums of dilated functions whose jth Fourier coefficients are $\left(j^{-\alpha }\right)$ for some α ∈ (1/2,1), and the spectral norms of certain greatest common divisor (GCD) matrices. Utilizing recent bounds for these spectral norms, we obtain sharp conditions for the convergence in L² and for the almost everywhere convergence of series of dilated functions.

We give a complete characterization of those $f:[0,1]\to X$ (where $X$ is a Banach space) which allow an equivalent $C^{1,\mathrm{BV}}$ parametrization (i.e., a $C^1$ parametrization whose derivative has bounded variation) or a parametrization with bounded convexity. Our results are new also for $X={ℝ}^n$. We present examples which show applicability of our characterizations. For example, we show that the $C^{1,\mathrm{BV}}$ and $C^2$ parametrization problems are equivalent for $X=ℝ$ but are not equivalent for $X={ℝ}^2$.

It is proved that real functions on $ℝ$ which can be represented as the difference of two semiconvex functions with a general modulus (or of two lower $C^1$-functions, or of two strongly paraconvex functions) coincide with semismooth functions on $ℝ$ (i.e. those locally Lipschitz functions on $ℝ$ for which $f_{+}^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)={lim}_{t\to x+}{f}_{+}^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)$ and $f_{-}^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)={lim}_{t\to x-}{f}_{-}^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)$ for each $x$). Further, for each modulus $\omega$, we characterize the class $DS{C}_{\omega }$ of functions on $ℝ$ which can be written as $f=g-h$, where $g$ and $h$ are semiconvex with modulus $C\omega$ (for some $C>0$) using a new notion of...

The Mumford-Shah functional, introduced to study image segmentation problems, is approximated in the sense of vergence by a sequence of integral functionals defined on piecewise affine functions.
