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 $X={ℝ}^2$.

This paper is concerned with asymptotic analysis of strongly decaying solutions of the third-order singular differential equation $x^{\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}}+q\left(t\right)x^{-\gamma }=0$, by means of regularly varying functions, where $\gamma$ is a positive constant and $q$ is a positive continuous function on $[a,\infty )$. It is shown that if $q$ is a regularly varying function, then it is possible to establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of slowly varying solutions and regularly varying solutions of (A) which decrease to $0$ as $t\to \infty$ and to acquire...

It is shown to be consistent that every function of first Baire class can be decomposed into ${\aleph }_1$ continuous functions yet the least cardinal of a dominating family in ${}^{\omega }\omega$ is ${\aleph }_2$. The model used in the one obtained by adding ${\omega }_2$ Miller reals to a model of the Continuum Hypothesis.

Using the idea of the optimal decomposition developed in recent papers (Edmunds-Krbec, 2000) and in Cruz-Uribe-Krbec we study the boundedness of the operator Tg(x) = ∫x1 g(u)du / u, x ∈ (0,1), and its logarithmic variant between Lorentz spaces and exponential Orlicz and Lorentz-Orlicz spaces. These operators are naturally linked with Moser's lemma, O'Neil's convolution inequality, and estimates for functions with prescribed rearrangement. We give sufficient conditions for and very simple proofs...

For a continuous map f from a real compact interval I into itself, we consider the set C(f) of points (x,y) ∈ I² for which $limin{f}_{n\to \infty }|f^n\left(x\right)-f^n\left(y\right)|=0$ and $limsu{p}_{n\to \infty }|f^n\left(x\right)-f^n\left(y\right)|>0$. We prove that if C(f) has full Lebesgue measure then it is residual, but the converse may not hold. Also, if λ² denotes the Lebesgue measure on the square and Ch(f) is the set of points (x,y) ∈ C(f) for which neither x nor y are asymptotically periodic, we show that λ²(C(f)) > 0 need not imply λ²(Ch(f)) > 0. We use these results to propose some plausible definitions...

El objeto de esta nota es presentar una noción del grado topológico para funciones reales convexas sci (semicontinuas inferiormente) basándose en la teoría del grado introducida por F. Browder.

In a previous paper we defined a Denjoy integral for mappings from a vector lattice to a complete vector lattice. In this paper we define a Henstock-Kurzweil integral for mappings from a vector lattice to a complete vector lattice and consider the relation between these two integrals.

In this paper we define the derivative and the Denjoy integral of mappings from a vector lattice to a complete vector lattice and show the fundamental theorem of calculus.

According to A. Lasota, a continuous function $f$ from a real compact interval $I$ into itself is called generically chaotic if the set of all points $(x,y)$, for which ${lim\; inf}_{n\to \infty }|f^n\left(x\right)-f^n\left(y\right)|=0$ and ${lim\; sup}_{n\to \infty }|f^n\left(x\right)-f^n\left(y\right)|>0$, is residual in $I\times I$. Being inspired by this definition we say that $f$ is densely chaotic if this set is dense in $I\times I$. A characterization of the generically chaotic functions is known. In the paper the densely chaotic functions are characterized and it is proved that in the class of piecewise monotone maps with finite number of pieces the...
