A space is discretely absolutely star-Lindelöf if for every open cover of and every dense subset of , there exists a countable subset of such that is discrete closed in and , where . We show that every Hausdorff star-Lindelöf space can be represented in a Hausdorff discretely absolutely star-Lindelöf space as a closed subspace.
We prove that every planar rational compactum with rim-type ≤ α, where α is a countable ordinal greater than 0, can be topologically embedded into a planar rational (locally connected) continuum with rim-type ≤ α.
We prove in particular that a continuous image of a Valdivia compact space is Corson provided it contains no homeomorphic copy of the ordinal segment . This generalizes a result of R. Deville and G. Godefroy who proved it for Valdivia compact spaces. We give also a refinement of their result which yields a pointwise version of retractions on a Valdivia compact space.
It is shown how to embed the polydisk algebras (finite and infinite ones) into the disk algebra A(𝔻̅). As a consequence, one obtains uniform closed subalgebras of A(𝔻̅) which have arbitrarily prescribed stable ranks.
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 a global...

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