We introduce a novel geometric approach to the image labeling problem. Abstracting from specific labeling applications, a general objective function is defined on a manifold of stochastic matrices, whose elements assign prior data that are…
Let us call a function $f$ from a space $X$ into a space $Y$ preserving if the image of every compact subspace of $X$ is compact in $Y$ and the image of every connected subspace of $X$ is connected in $Y$. By elementary theorems a…
We propose an alternative to $k$-nearest neighbors for functional data whereby the approximating neighboring curves are piecewise functions built from a functional sample. Using a locally defined distance function that satisfies…
We construct an example of a real-valued continuous non-constant function $f$ defined on a connected complete metric space $X$ such that every point of $X$ is a point of local minimum or local maximum for $f$. The space $X$ is connected but…
Motivated by the human way of memorizing images we introduce their functional representation, where an image is represented by a neural network. For this purpose, we construct a hypernetwork which takes an image and returns weights to the…
Fixed points represent equilibrium states, stability, and solutions to a range of problems. It has been an active field of research. In this paper, we provide an overview of the main branches of fixed point theory. We discuss the key…
In a spherically complete ultrametric space, a strictly contracting mapping has a fixed point. We indicate in this paper how this fixed point can either be reached or approximated.
The article is devoted to approximate, global and along curves differentiability of functions over non-archimedean infinite fields with non-trivial valuations. Fields with zero and non-zero characteristics are considered. Spaces of…

The study of universal approximation of arbitrary functions $f: \mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{Y}$ by neural networks has a rich and thorough history dating back to Kolmogorov (1957). In the case of learning finite dimensional maps, many authors…

Floating point arithmetic allows us to use a finite machine, the digital computer, to reach conclusions about models based on continuous mathematics. In this article we work in the other direction, that is, we present examples in which…
In this present article, we get sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of fixed points and common fixed points for single and double mapping satisfying various contractive conditions within the partially ordered…
An augmented generalized happy function $S_{[c,b]}$ maps a positive integer to the sum of the squares of its base $b$ digits plus $c$. In this paper, we study various properties of the fixed points of $S_{[c,b]}$; count the number of fixed…
Approximations of the image and integral funnel of the closed ball of the space $L_p,$ $p>1,$ under Urysohn type integral operator are considered. The closed ball of the space $L_p,$ $p>1,$ is replaced by the set consisting of a finite…
It is well known that Artificial Neural Networks are universal approximators. The classical result proves that, given a continuous function on a compact set on an n-dimensional space, then there exists a one-hidden-layer feedforward network…
For continuous functions, midpoint convexity characterizes convex functions. By considering discrete versions of midpoint convexity, several types of discrete convexities of functions, including integral convexity, L$^\natural$-convexity…
We give a new proof of the result that if f and g are transcendental entire functions, then the composite function f(g) has infinitely many fixed points. The method yields a number of generalization of this result. In particular, it extends…
An equidistant set in the Euclidean space consists of points having equal distances to both members of a given pair of sets, called focal sets. Having no effective formulas to compute the distance of a point and a set, it is hard to…
