Let $n \in \N$ and $M_n$ be the algebra of $n \times n$ matrices. We call a function $f$ matrix monotone of order $n$ or $n$-monotone in short whenever the inequality $f(a) \leq f(b)$ holds for every pair of selfadjoint matrices $a, b \in…

For c in [0,1] let P_n(c) denote the set of n-vertex perfect graphs with density c and C_n(c) the set of n-vertex graphs without induced C_5 and with density c. We show that log|P_n(c)|/binom{n}{2}=log|C_n(c)|/binom{n}{2}=h(c)+o(1) with…

Operator monotone functions, introduced by Lowner in 1934, are an important class of real-valued functions. They arise naturally in matrix and operator theory and have various applications in other branches of mathematics and related…

A path $P$ in a graph $G$ is said to be a degree monotone path if the sequence of degrees of the vertices of $P$ in the order in which they appear on $P$ is monotonic. The length of the longest degree monotone path in $G$ is denoted by…

In this note we prove that a regular continuous open image of the Sorgenfrey line with an uncountable weight has a closed subspace that is homeomorphic to the Sorgenfrey line. As a corollary we deduce the theorem in the title.

The set of badly approximable $m \times n $ matrices is known to have Hausdorff dimension $mn $. Each such matrix comes with its own approximation constant $c$, and one can ask for the dimension of the set of badly approximable matrices…

We give new characterizations for matrix monotonicity and convexity of fixed order which connects previous characterizations by Loewner, Dobsch, Donoghue, Kraus and Bendat--Sherman. The ideas introduced are then used to characterize matrix…

We study a certain class of piecewise monotonic maps of interval. These maps are strictly monotone on finite interval partition, satisfies Markov condition and have generator property. We show that for a function from this class…

An ordered graph is a graph with a linear ordering on its vertex set. We prove that for every positive integer $k$, there exists a constant $c_k>0$ such that any ordered graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with the property that neither $G$ nor its…

In this paper we consider functions of the type $$f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n g(b_nx+\theta_n),$$ where $(a_n)$ are independent random variables uniformly distributed on $(-a^n, a^n)$ for some $0<a<1$, $b_{n+1}/b_n \geq b >1$, $a^2b> 1$…

In this note, we continue to highlight some applications of Theorem 1 of [3]. Here is a sample: Let $X$ be an open set in ${\bf C}^n$, $\Omega$ an open convex set in ${\bf C}$ and $f, g : X\to {\bf C}$ two holomorphic functions such that…

We give sufficient conditions for a finite metric space to be determined by the magnitude function. In particular, a generic finite metric space such that the distances between the points are rationally independent is determined by the…

Magnitude is a real-valued invariant of metric spaces which, in the finite setting, can be understood as recording the 'effective number of points' in a space as the scale of the metric varies. Motivated by applications in topological data…

A space X is finite dimensional, locally compact and separable metrizable if and only if X has a finite basic family: continuous functions Phi_1,...,Phi_n of X to the reals, R, such that for all continuous f from X to R there are g_1,...,…

On a non-compact, smooth, connected, boundaryless, complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, one can define its ideal boundary by rays (or equivalently, Busemann functions). From the viewpoint of Mather theory, boundary elements could be…

In this paper, we introduce a generalized notion of monotone property and prove some results regarding existence and uniqueness of multi-tupled fixed points for nonlinear contraction mappings satisfying monotone property in ordered complete…

In this paper, we prove the following version of the famous Bernstein's theorem: Let $X\subset \mathbb R^{n+k}$ be a closed and connected set with Hausdorff dimension $n$. Assume that $X$ satisfies the monotonicity formula at $p\in X$.…

Consider the self-map F of the space of real-valued test functions on the line which takes a test function f to the test function sending a real number x to f(f(x))-f(0). We show that F is discontinuous, although its restriction to the…

Let $f: B^n \rightarrow {\mathbb R}$ be a $d+1$ times continuously differentiable function on the unit ball $B^n$, with $\max_{z\in B^n} \| f(z) \|=1$. A well-known fact is that if $f$ vanishes on a set $Z\subset B^n$ with a non-empty…

We describe some metric properties of incomparability graphs. We consider the problem of the existence of infinite paths, either induced or isometric, in the incomparability graph of a poset. Among other things, we show that if the…
