We develop a new concept of non-positive curvature for metric spaces, based on intersection patterns of closed balls. In contrast to the synthetic approaches of Alexandrov and Buesemann, our concept also applies to metric spaces that might…

Indecomposable continua with one composant are $\textit{large}$ in the sense of being non-metrisable. We adapt the method of Smith $[18]$ to construct an example which is $\textit{small}$ in the sense of being separable.

We discuss and investigate the problem of existence of metric-compatible linear connections for a given space-time metric which is, generally, assumed to be semi-pseudo-Riemannian. We prove that under sufficiently general conditions such…

We deduce the existence of a maximal irreducibility measure for a Markov chain from Zorn's lemma.

This paper shows that there exists a contraction whose Zadeh's extension is not a contraction under the Skorokhod metric, answering negatively Problems 5.8 and 5.12 posted in [Jard\'{o}n, S\'{a}nchez, and Sanchis, Some questions about…

The problem of characterizing maximal non-Hamiltonian graphs may be naturally extended to characterizing graphs that are maximal with respect to non-traceability and beyond that to $t$-path traceability. We show how traceability behaves…

The problem of continuation of a partially defined metric can be efficiently studied using graph theory. Let $G=G(V,E)$ be an undirected graph with the set of vertices $V$ and the set of edges $E$. A necessary and sufficient condition under…

We study finite non-linearizable subgroups of the plane Cremona group which potentially could be stably linearizable.

We show that for a metric space with an even number of points there is a 1-Lipschitz map to a tree-like space with the same matching number. This result gives the first basic version of an unoriented Kantorovich duality. The study of the…

Two structures are said to be equimorphic if each embeds in the other. Such structures cannot be expected to be isomorphic, and in this paper we investigate the special case of linear orders, here also called chains. In particular we…

The distance on a set is a comparative function. The smaller the distance between two elements of that set, the closer, or more similar, those elements are. Fr\'echet axiomatized the distance into what is today known as a metric. In this…

A metric projective structure is a manifold equipped with the unparametrised geodesics of some pseudo-Riemannian metric. We make acomprehensive treatment of such structures in the case that there is a projective Weyl curvature nullity…

In this paper, we study the nonexistence of solutions to semilinear elliptic equations with a positive potential on metric graphs. In particular, the Laplacian under consideration is of a special type, related to both the vertices and edges…

A. Speiser proved that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the absence of non-real zeros of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function left of the critical line. His result has been extended by N. Levinson and H.L. Montgomery to the…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and investigate the notion of derivation for quandle algebras. More precisely, we describe the symmetries on structure constants providing a characterization for a linear map to be a derivation. We…

In this oaper, we prove some fixed point theorems in metric vector spaces, in which the continuity is not required for the considered mappings to satisfy. We provide some concrete examples to demonstrate these theorems. We also give some…

In this paper, we extend the Banach contraction principle to metric-like as well as partial metric spaces (not essentially complete) equipped with an arbitrary binary relation. Thereafter, we derive some fixed point results which are…

We define the notions of unilateral metric derivatives and ``metric derived numbers'' in analogy with Dini derivatives (also referred to as ``derived numbers'') and establish their basic properties. We also prove that the set of points…

Using the classical technique of condensation of singularities, we prove that, for every zero-dimensional, complete separable metric space $G$, there exists a Suslinian, chainable metric continuum whose set of end points is homeomorphic to…

In this paper, we discuss an equation which does not contain the Planck's constant, but it will turn out the Planck's constant when we apply the equation to the problems of particle diffraction.
