Bad Wadge-like reducibilities on the Baire space

Luca Motto Ros (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider various collections of functions from the Baire space ω ω into itself naturally arising in (effective) descriptive set theory and general topology, including computable (equivalently, recursive) functions, contraction mappings, and functions which are nonexpansive or Lipschitz with respect to suitable complete ultrametrics on ω ω (compatible with its standard topology). We analyze the degree-structures induced by such sets of functions when used as reducibility notions between subsets of...

Baire category results for quasi–copulas

Fabrizio Durante, Juan Fernández-Sánchez, Wolfgang Trutschnig (2016)

Dependence Modeling

The aim of this manuscript is to determine the relative size of several functions (copulas, quasi– copulas) that are commonly used in stochastic modeling. It is shown that the class of all quasi–copulas that are (locally) associated to a doubly stochastic signed measure is a set of first category in the class of all quasi– copulas. Moreover, it is proved that copulas are nowhere dense in the class of quasi-copulas. The results are obtained via a checkerboard approximation of quasi–copulas.

Baireness of C k ( X ) for ordered X

Michael Granado, Gary Gruenhage (2006)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We show that if X is a subspace of a linearly ordered space, then C k ( X ) is a Baire space if and only if C k ( X ) is Choquet iff X has the Moving Off Property.

Baire-one mappings contained in a usco map

Ondřej F. K. Kalenda (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We investigate Baire-one functions whose graph is contained in the graph of a usco mapping. We prove in particular that such a function defined on a metric space with values in d is the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions with graphs contained in the graph of a common usco map.

Banach-Mazur game played in partially ordered sets

Wiesław Kubiś (2016)

Banach Center Publications

Concepts, definitions, notions, and some facts concerning the Banach-Mazur game are customized to a more general setting of partial orderings. It is applied in the theory of Fraïssé limits and beyond, obtaining simple proofs of universality of certain objects and classes.

Best constants for metric space inversion inequalities

Stephen Buckley, Safia Hamza (2013)

Open Mathematics

For every metric space (X, d) and origin o ∈ X, we show the inequality I o(x, y) ≤ 2d o(x, y), where I o(x, y) = d(x, y)/d(x, o)d(y, o) is the metric space inversion semimetric, d o is a metric subordinate to I o, and x, y ∈ X o The constant 2 is best possible.
