Entropic approximation in kinetic theory

Jacques Schneider (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Approximation theory in the context of probability density function turns out to go beyond the classical idea of orthogonal projection. Special tools have to be designed so as to respect the nonnegativity of the approximate function. We develop here and justify from the theoretical point of view an approximation procedure introduced by Levermore [Levermore, J. Stat. Phys.83 (1996) 1021–1065] and based on an entropy minimization principle under moment constraints. We prove in particular...

Entropies of self-mappings of topological spaces with richer structures

Miroslav Katětov (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

For mappings f : S S , where S is a merotopic space equipped with a diameter function, we introduce and examine an entropy, called the δ -entropy. The topological entropy and the entropy of self-mappings of metric spaces are shown to be special cases of the δ -entropy. Some connections with other characteristics of self-mappings are considered. We also introduce and examine an entropy for subsets of S N , which is closely connected with the δ -entropy of f : S S .

Equiconnected spaces and Baire classification of separately continuous functions and their analogs

Olena Karlova, Volodymyr Maslyuchenko, Volodymyr Mykhaylyuk (2012)

Open Mathematics

We investigate the Baire classification of mappings f: X × Y → Z, where X belongs to a wide class of spaces which includes all metrizable spaces, Y is a topological space, Z is an equiconnected space, which are continuous in the first variable. We show that for a dense set in X these mappings are functions of a Baire class α in the second variable.

Equilibria and strict equilibria of multivalued maps on noninvariant sets

Pierre Cardaliaguet, Grzegorz Gabor, Marc Quincampoix (2003)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

This paper is concerned with existence of equilibrium of a set-valued map in a given compact subset of a finite-dimensional space. Previously known conditions ensuring existence of equilibrium imply that the set is either invariant or viable for the differential inclusion generated by the set-valued map. We obtain some equilibrium existence results with conditions which imply neither invariance nor viability of the given set. The problem of existence of strict equilibria is also discussed.

Equilibria in a class of games and topological results implying their existence.

R.S. Simon, S. Spiez, H. Torunczyk (2008)

RACSAM

We survey results related to the problem of the existence of equilibria in some classes of infinitely repeated two-person games of incomplete information on one side, first considered by Aumann, Maschler and Stearns. We generalize this setting to a broader one of principal-agent problems. We also discuss topological results needed, presenting them dually (using cohomology in place of homology) and more systematically than in our earlier papers.

Equivalence of certain free topological groups

Jan Baars (1992)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we give a complete isomorphical classification of free topological groups F M ( X ) of locally compact zero-dimensional separable metric spaces X . From this classification we obtain for locally compact zero-dimensional separable metric spaces X and Y that the free topological groups F M ( X ) and F M ( Y ) are isomorphic if and only if C p ( X ) and C p ( Y ) are linearly homeomorphic.
