In this note we give an example of a one-dimensional manifold with two connected components and a complete metric whose group of isometries has an orbit which is not closed. This answers a question of S. Gao and A. S. Kechris.
In this paper, we study the dynamical behavior of a linear control system on $\R^2$ when the associated matrix has real eigenvalues. Different from the complex case, we show that the position of the control zero relative to the control…
In this paper, we present new necessary and sufficient conditions under which the sum of two group invertible elements in a Banach algebra has group inverse. We then apply these results to block operator matrices over Banach spaces. The…
While every group is isomorphic to a transitive group of permutations, the analogous property fails for inverse semigroups: not all inverse semigroups are isomorphic to transitive inverse semigroups of one-to-one partial transformations of…
This paper analyzes the convergence of fixed-point iterations of the form u = f(u) and the properties of the inverse of the related pentadiagonal matrices, associated with the fourth-order nonlinear beam equation. This nonlinear problem is…
We introduce a concept of approximately invertible elements in non-unital normed algebras which is, on one side, a natural generalization of invertibility when having approximate identities at hand, and, on the other side, it is a direct…
The inverse problem of diffraction theory in essence amounts to the reconstruction of the atomic positions of a solid from its diffraction image. From a mathematical perspective, this is a notoriously difficult problem, even in the…
Given an infinite graph $G$ on countably many vertices, and a closed, infinite set $\Lambda$ of real numbers, we prove the existence of an unbounded self-adjoint operator whose graph is $G$ and whose spectrum is $\Lambda$.
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a nonexpansive map on a finite dimensional normed space to have a nonempty, bounded set of fixed points. Among other results we show that if $f : V \rightarrow V$ is a nonexpansive map on a…
An $\infty$-step nilsystem is an inverse limit of minimal nilsystems. In this article is shown that a minimal distal system is an $\infty$-step nilsystem if and only if it has no nontrivial pairs with arbitrarily long finite IP-independence…
We describe a theory of finite sets, and investigate the analogue of Dedekind's theory of natural number systems (simply infinite systems) in this theory. Unlike the infinitary case, in our theory, natural number systems come in differing…
Our main result is that possibly some non-null set of reals cannot be divided to uncountably many non-null sets. We deal also with a non-null set of reals, the graph of any function from it is null and deal with our iterations somewhat more…
In the paper we consider the invariant zero assignment problem in a linear multivariable system with several inputs/outputs by constructing a system output matrix. The problem is reduced to the pole assignment problem by a state feedback…
This is an account of the theory of inverse semigroups, assuming only that the reader knows the basics of semigroup theory.
Algorithmic methods for the explicit inversion of the indefinite double covering maps are proposed. These are based on either the Givens decomposition or the polar decomposition of the given matrix in the proper, indefinite orthogonal group…
We have shown recently that, given a metric space $X$, the coarse equivalence classes of metrics on the two copies of $X$ form an inverse semigroup $M(X)$. Here we study the property of idempotents in $M(X)$ of being finite or infinite,…
Extending the results of reconstruction of compact metric spaces by inverse limits, we show that if $(X, d), (Y, d)$ are compact metric spaces, then the mapping space $Y^X$ is homotopy equivalent to the inverse limit of an inverse system of…
Ends and end cohomology are powerful invariants for the study of noncompact spaces. We present a self-contained exposition of the topological theory of ends and prove novel extensions including the existence of an exhaustion of a proper…
In this paper, we study asymptotic behavior arising in inverse limit spaces of dendrites. In particular, the inverse limit is constructed with a single unimodal bonding map, for which points have unique itineraries and the critical point is…
In this paper, we study affine transformations on tori, nilmanifolds and compact abelian groups. For these systems, we show that an equivalent condition for zero entropy is the orbit closure of each point has a nice structure. To be…
