We prove that the free locally convex space $L(X)$ over a metrizable space $X$ has countable tightness if and only if $X$ is separable.

We study the problem of detecting zeros of continuous functions that are known only up to an error bound, extending the earlier theoretical work with explicit algorithms and experiments with an implementation. More formally, the robustness…

We prove that the smallest minimizer s(f) of a real convex function f is less than or equal to a real point x if and only if the right derivative of f at x is non-negative. Similarly, the largest minimizer t(f) is greater or equal to x if…

Assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, there is a compact first countable connected space of weight aleph_1 with no totally disconnected perfect subsets. Each such space, however, may be destroyed by some proper forcing order which does not add…

We present a connected metric space that does not contain any nontrivial separable connected subspace. Our space is a dense connected graph of a function from the real line satisfying Cauchy's equation.

Let $X$ be a separable real Hilbert space. We show that for every Lipschitz function $f:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, and for every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a Lipschitz, real analytic function $g:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ such that…

We investigate some connectedness properties of the set of points K(f) where the iterates of an entire function f are bounded. In particular, we describe a class of transcendental entire functions for which an analogue of the…

In this paper we consider partial metric spaces in the sense of O'Neill. We introduce the notions of strong partial metric spaces and Cauchy functions. We prove a fixed point theorem for such spaces and functions that improves Matthews'…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of partially ordered {\epsilon}-chainable metric spaces and we derive new coupled fixed point theorems for uniformly locally contractive mappings on such spaces.

We revisit the definition of effective local compactness, and propose an approach that works for arbitrary countably-based spaces extending the previous work on computable metric spaces. We use this to show that effective local compactness…

Inverse limits, unlike direct limits, can in general be void, [1]. The existence of fixed points for arbitrary mappings $T : X \longrightarrow X$ is conjectured to be equivalent with the fact that related direct limits of all finite…

For every countable ordinal number $\xi$, we construct a metric space $X_{\xi}$ whose transfinite asymptotic dimension and complementary-finite asymptotic dimension are both $\xi$.

We give a characterization of countable discrete subspace $A$ of a topological space $X$ such that there exists a (linear) continuous mapping $\varphi:C_p^*(A)\to C_p(X)$ with $\varphi(y)|_A=y$ for every $y\in C_p^*(A)$. Using this…

Let f be a transcendental entire function that omits a complex value a. We show that for every simply connected region D that does not contain a the full preimage of D is disconnected. We conjecture that the same holds if one only assumes…

Let X be a G-space such that the orbit space X/G is metrizable. Suppose a family of slices is given at each point of X. We study a construction which associates, under some conditions on the family of slices, with any metric on X/G an…

It turned out that the set of the fixed points is not necessarily the same as the set of the local minima of the energy functional. It depends on the diagonal elements of the connection matrix. The simple method which allows to cut off…

We prove an extension theorem (with non-tangential limits) for vector-valued Baire one functions. Moreover, at every point where the function is continuous (or bounded), the continuity (or boundedness) is preserved. More precisely: Let $H$…

Let $\mathcal X$ be an infinite locally compact separable metric space with metric $\rho$ and let $f : \mathcal X \longrightarrow \mathcal X$ be a continuous weakly mixing map. Let $\beta = \sup \big\{ \rho(x, y): \{x, y \} \subset \mathcal…

Consider the hyperplanes at a fixed distance $t$ from the center of the hypercube $[0,1]^d$. Significant attention has been given to determining the hyperplanes $H$ among these such that the $(d-1)$-dimensional volume of $H\cap[0,1]^d$ is…

In this note, we propose a formula for the subdifferential of the maximum functional $m(f) = \max_K f$ on the space of real-valued continuous functions $f$ defined on an arbitrary metric compact $K$. We show that, given $f$, the…
