We combine continuous and integral logics and found a logical framework for metric measure spaces equipped with a family of continuous relations and operations. We prove the ultraproduct theorem and deduce compactness and other usual…

Topological measures and quasi-linear functionals generalize measures and linear functionals. We define and study deficient topological measures on locally compact spaces. A deficient topological measure on a locally compact space is a set…

We relate generic points in the shift locus $\mathcal{S}_D$ of degree $D\ge 2$ polynomials to metric graphs. Using thermodynamic metrics on the space of metric graphs, we obtain a distance function $\rho_D$ on $\mathcal{S}_D$. We study the…

If $(X,d)$ is a metric space then the map $f\colon X\to X$ is defined to be a weak contraction if $d(f(x),f(y))<d(x,y)$ for all $x,y\in X$, $x\neq y$. We determine the simplest non-closed sets $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ in the sense of…

Finite metric spaces arise in many different contexts. Enormous bodies of data, scientific, commercial and others can often be viewed as large metric spaces. It turns out that the metric of graphs reveals a lot of interesting information.…

This report introduces and investigates a family of metrics on sets of pointed Kripke models. The metrics are generalizations of the Hamming distance applicable to countably infinite binary strings and, by extension, logical theories or…

We introduce the concept of ODD ('$\mathbf{O}$rthogonally $\mathbf{D}$egenerating on a $\mathbf{D}$ivisor') Riemannian metrics on real analytic manifolds $M$. These semipositive symmetric $2$-tensors may degenerate on a finite collection of…

Central limit theorems are established for the sum, over a spatial region, of observations from a linear process on a $d$-dimensional lattice. This region need not be rectangular, but can be irregularly-shaped. Separate results are…

The basic properties of the C-metric are well known. It describes a pair of causally separated black holes which accelerate in opposite directions under the action of forces represented by conical singularities. However, these properties…

For a path-connected metric space $(X,d)$, the $n$-th homotopy group $\pi_n(X)$ inherits a natural pseudometric from the $n$-th iterated loop space with the uniform metric. This pseudometric gives $\pi_n(X)$ the structure of a topological…

Consider a string of $n$ positions, i.e. a discrete string of length $n$. Units of length $k$ are placed at random on this string in such a way that they do not overlap, and as often as possible, i.e. until all spacings between neighboring…

A recently developed tool allows for a description of spacetime as a manifold with a Lorentz-invariant (lower) limit length built-in. This is accomplished in terms of geometric quantities depending on two spacetime events (bitensors) and…

Partial differential equations with discrete (concentrated) state-dependent delays in the space of continuous functions are investigated. In general, the corresponding initial value problem is not well posed, so we find an additional…

In this paper we develop some combinatorial models for continuous spaces. In this spirit we study the approximations of continuous spaces by graphs, molecular spaces and coordinate matrices. We define the dimension on a discrete space by…

We consider asymptotic dimension of coarse spaces. We analyse coarse structures induced by metrisable compactifications. We calculate asymptotic dimension of coarse cell complexes. We calculate the asymptotic dimension of certain negatively…

In this paper, for a metrizable space $Z$, we consider the space of metrics that generate the same topology of $Z$, and that space of metrics is equipped with the supremum metrics. For a metrizable space $X$ and a closed subset $A$ of it,…

For a family $\mathcal{C}$ of properly embedded curves in the 2-dimensional disk $\mathbb{D}^{2}$ satisfying certain uniqueness properties, we consider convex polygons $P\subset \mathbb{D}^{2}$ and define a metric $d$ on $P$ such that…

Let $X$ be a set and $d_1,d_2$ be two distances on $X$. We say that $d_1$ and $d_2$ are locally similar and write $d_1\cong d_2$ if $d_1$ and $d_2$ are topologically equivalent and, for every $a$ in $X$, \[ \lim_{x\to a}…

We give a metric characterization of snowflakes of Euclidean spaces. Namely, a metric space is isometric to $\mathbb R^n$ equipped with a distance $(d_{\rm E})^\epsilon$, for some $n\in \mathbb N_0$ and $\epsilon\in (0,1]$, where $d_{\rm…

We deal with finitely additive measures defined on all subsets of natural numbers which extend the asymptotic density (density measures). We consider a class of density measures which are constructed from free ultrafilters on natural…
