Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space. We consider the behavior of probability measures $\mu$ with the property that $$ \int_{X} d(x, y) d\mu(y) \qquad \mbox{is independent of}~x \in X.$$ It appears that such measures, when they exist,…
I explore the use of sets of probability measures as a representation of uncertainty.
We construct an appropriate metric on the collection of piecewise $\mathcal C^r$ maps defined on a compact interval. Although this metric space turns out to be not complete, we show that it is indeed a Baire space. As an application, we…
We introduce a notion of vague convergence for random marked metric measure spaces. Our main result shows that convergence of the moments of order $k \ge 1$ of a random marked metric measure space is sufficient to obtain its vague…
We give an elementary proof of the known fact that every probability measure, defined on an arbitrary $\sigma$-field on a countable sample space $\Omega$, may in fact be extended to a probability measure on the power set of $\Omega$. This…
Analytic properties of right topological groups have been extensively studied in the compact admissible case (i.e when the group has a dense topological center). This was inspired by the existence of a Haar measure on such groups. In this…
In this note, we investigate some topological properties of probabilistic modular spaces.
In the present paper we show that the functor of idempotent probability measures satisfies all of conditions with an additional claim of uniform metrizability of functors.
It is well-known that a random variable, i.e., a function defined on a probability space, with values in a Borel space, can be represented on the special probability space consisting of the unit interval with Lebesgue measure. We show an…
On a smooth connected manifold, we consider all possible locally elliptic and locally bounded measurable coefficient Riemannian metrics called rough Riemannian metrics. We equip this set with an extended metric which is connected if and…
For a homeomorphism $T$ on a compact metric space $X$, a $T$-invariant Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $X$ and a measure-theoretic quasifactor $\widetilde{\mu}$ of $\mu$, we study the relationship between the local entropy of the system…
The aim of this note is to give a quick algebraic proof of (the combinatorial part of) the classification theorem for compact real surfaces, whose classical proofs (as in the Massey book and in the Conway ZIP proof) are based on surgery…
Sets of invariant measures are considered for continuous maps of a metric compact set. We take Kantorovich metric to calculate distance between measures and Hausdorff metrics to calculate distance between compact sets. Consider the function…
The conventional definition of a topological metric over a space specifies properties that must be obeyed by any measure of "how separated" two points in that space are. Here it is shown how to extend that definition, and in particular the…
We explore the relationship between possibility measures (supremum preserving normed measures) and p-boxes (pairs of cumulative distribution functions) on totally preordered spaces, extending earlier work in this direction by De Cooman and…
We introduce the notion of the "covering type" of a space, which is more subtle that the notion of Lusternik Schnirelman category. It measures the complexity of a space which arises from coverings by contractible subspaces whose non-empty…
Connectedness, path connectedness, and uniform connectedness are well-known concepts. In the traditional presentation of these concepts there is a substantial difference between connectedness and the other two notions, namely connectedness…
Given a probability measure $\mu$ on a set $\mathcal{X}$ and a vector-valued function $\varphi$, a common problem is to construct a discrete probability measure on $\mathcal{X}$ such that the push-forward of these two probability measures…
Using probabilistic ideas, we prove that the packing dimension of a mean porous measure is strictly smaller than the dimension of the ambient space. Moreover, we give an explicit bound for the packing dimension, which is asymptotically…
Distributed consensus in the Wasserstein metric space of probability measures on the real line is introduced in this work. Convergence of each agent's measure to a common measure is proven under a weak network connectivity condition. The…
