We investigate a variant of the fuel-based approach to modeling diverging computation in type theories and use it to abstractly capture the essence of oracle Turing machines. The resulting objects we call continuous machines. We prove that…

The paper considers the spaces $B_p[1, \alpha]$ of all Baire functions $x\colon [1,\alpha]\to \mathbb{R}$, defined on segments of ordinals $[1,\alpha]$ and endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence. A complete topological…

In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the space B_1(X) of first Baire class functions on a Tychonoff space X, with pointwise topology, to be (strongly) sequentially separable.

Examples of discontinuous functions already appear in the work of Euler, Abel, Dirichlet, Fourier, and Bolzano. A ground-breaking discovery due to Baire was that many discontinuous functions are well-behaved in that they are the pointwise…

A slalom is a sequence of finite sets of length omega. Slaloms are ordered by coordinatewise inclusion with finitely many exceptions. Improving earlier results of Mildenberger, Shelah and Tsaban, we prove consistency results concerning…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, we will denote by $USC_{p}(X)$ ($B_1(X)$) a set of all real-valued upper semicontinuous functions (a set of all Baire functions of class 1) defined on $X$ endowed with the pointwise convergence topology. In this…

We consider positively supported Borel measures for which all moments exist. On the set of compactly supported measures in this class a partial order is defined via eventual dominance of the moment sequences. Special classes are identified…

The problem is considered as to whether a monotone function defined on a subset P of a Euclidean space can be strictly monotonically extended to the whole space. It is proved that this is the case if and only if the function is {\em…

Let $K$ be a compact metric space. A real-valued function on $K$ is said to be of Baire class one (Baire-1) if it is the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions. In this paper, we study two well known ordinal indices of…

We introduce and study adhesive spaces. Using this concept we obtain a characterization of stable Baire maps $f:X\to Y$ of the class $\alpha$ for wide classes of topological spaces. In particular, we prove that for a topological space $X$…

Following Laczkovich we consider the partially ordered set $\iB_1(\RR)$ of Baire class 1 functions endowed with the pointwise order, and investigate the order types of the linearly ordered subsets. Answering a question of Komj\'ath and…

It is consistent that there is a partial order (P,<) of size aleph_1 such that every monotone (unary) function from P to P is first order definable in (P,<). The partial order is constructed in an extension obtained by finite support…

We investigate strongly separately continuous functions on a product of topological spaces and prove that if $X$ is a countable product of real lines, then there exists a strongly separately continuous function $f:X\to\mathbb R$ which is…

Let $X$ be a locally compact topological space, $(Y,d)$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $LB(X,Y)$ be the space of all locally bounded functions from $X$ to $Y$. We characterize compact sets in $LB(X,Y)$ equipped with the topology of…

It is proved that every function of finite Baire index on a separable metric space $K$ is a $D$-function, i.e., a difference of bounded semi-continuous functions on $K$. In fact it is a strong $D$-function, meaning it can be approximated…

This paper is devoted to investigating the sequence of some linear functionals in the space $BV$ of finite variation functions. We prove that under certain conditions this sequence is bounded. We also prove that this result is sharp. In…

A topological space $X$ is Baire if the Baire Category Theorem holds for $X$, i.e., the intersection of any sequence of open dense subsets of $X$ is dense in $X$. One of the interesting problems in the theory of functional spaces is the…

We consider iterated function systems on the real line that consist of continuous, piecewise linear functions. We show that typically the natural dimension of these systems changes continuously with respect to the parameters that define the…

We study the quasi-order of topological embeddability on definable functions between Polish zero-dimensional spaces. We first study the descriptive complexity of this quasi-order restricted to the space of continuous functions. Our main…

We prove that convex functions of finite order on the real line and subharmonic functions of finite order on finite dimensional real space, bounded from above outside of some set of zero relative Lebesgue density, are bounded from above…
