This study addresses the often-overlooked issue of measurability at intermediate points when applying Taylor's theorems to random functions and random vectors (e.g., likelihood functions with respect to estimators) in statistics. Classical…

In this paper we use the theory of multiplier ideals to show that the valuation ideals of a rank one Abhyankar valuation centered at a smooth point of a complex algebraic variety are approximated, in a quite strong sense, by sequences of…

Asgeirsson's theorem establishes a mean value property for solutions of the ultrahyperbolic equation. In the case of four variables, it states that the integrals of a solution over certain pairs of conjugate circles are the same. In this…

All upper semicontinuous and SL(n) invariant valuations on convex bodies containing the origin in their interiors are completely classified. Each such valuation is shown to be a linear combination of the Euler characteristic, the volume,…

Archimedean copulas are a popular type of copulas in which a variant of the Archimedean axiom apply. We provide a topological proof of the Archimedean Axiom which is applicable for non-continuous distribution functions.

A well studied classical problem is the harmonicity of functions satisfying the restricted mean-value property (RMVP) for domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Recently, the author along with Biswas investigated the problem in the general setting of…

We formulate several conjectures on mean convex domains in the Euclidean spaces, as well as in more general spaces with lower bonds on their scalar curvatures, and prove a few theorems motivating these conjectures.

We investigate a recent semantics for intermediate (and modal) logics in terms of polyhedra. The main result is a finite axiomatisation of the intermediate logic of the class of all polytopes -- i.e., compact convex polyhedra -- denoted PL.…

In this paper we introduce and study a topological abelian group of convex bodies, analogous to the scissors congruence group and McMullen's polytope algebra, with the universal property that continuous valuations on convex bodies…

We know that a continuous function on a closed interval satisfies the Intermediate Value Property. Likewise, the derivative function of a differentiable function on a closed interval satisfies the IVP property which is known as the Darboux…

This paper presents sufficient graph-theoretic conditions for injectivity of collections of differentiable functions on rectangular subsets of R^n. The results have implications for the possibility of multiple fixed points of maps and…

Let alpha \in (1, 2] and X be an R^d-valued alpha-stable process with independent and symmetric components starting in 0. We consider the closure S_t of the path described by X on the interval [0, t] and its convex hull Z_t. The first…

An $n$-mean (also called a ''topological social choice rule'') on a topological space $X$ is a continuous function $p:X^n\to X$ satisfying $p(x,\dots, x)=x$ for every $x\in X$ and $p(x_1,\dots, x_n)=p(x_{\sigma(1)},\dots x_{\sigma(n)})$ for…

A complete classification of all zonal, continuous, and translation invariant valuations on convex bodies is established. The valuations obtained are expressed as principal value integrals with respect to the area measures. The convergence…

We find a sharp combinatorial bound for the metric entropy of sets in R^n and general classes of functions. This solves two basic combinatorial conjectures on the empirical processes. 1. A class of functions satisfies the uniform Central…

We present a necessary and sufficient condition for Alt's system to be represented by a continuous utility function. Moreover, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for this utility function to be concave. The latter condition can…

In this paper we are concerned with the study of additive ergodic averages in multiplicative systems and the investigation of the "pretentious" dynamical behaviour of these systems. We prove a mean ergodic theorem (Theorem A) that…

Let $F:[a,b]\longrightarrow \R$ have zero derivative in a dense subset of $[a,b]$. What else we need to conclude that $F$ is constant in $[a,b]$? We prove a result in this direction using some new Mean Value Theorems for integrals which are…

We show that hereditarily indecomposable spaces can be characterized by a special instance of the Intermediate Value Theorem in their rings of continuous functions.

We define the infinite dimensional simplex to be the closure of the convex hull of the standard basis vectors in R^infinity, and prove that this space has the 'fixed point property': any continuous function from the space into itself has a…
