I provide simplified proofs for each of the following fundamental theorems regarding selection principles: 1. The Quasinormal Convergence Theorem, due to the author and Zdomskyy, asserting that a certain, important property of the space of…

The aim of this expository article is to present recent developments in the centuries old discussion on the interrelations between continuous and differentiable real valued functions of one real variable. The truly new results include,…

For every natural number $n$ we introduce a new weak choice principle $\mathrm{nRC_{fin}}$: Given any infinite set $x$, there is an infinite subset $y\subseteq x$ and a selection function $f$ that chooses an $n$-element subset from every…

This paper examines the simplest case of total differential equations that appears in the theory of foliation structures, without imposing the smoothness assumptions. This leads to a peculiar asymmetry in the differentiability of solutions.…

It was conjectured that if $f\in C^1(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R}^n)$ satisfies $\operatorname{rank} Df\leq m<n$ everywhere in $\mathbb{R}^n$, then $f$ can be uniformly approximated by $C^\infty$-mappings $g$ satisfying $\operatorname{rank}…

The Ramsey Choice principle for families of $n$-element sets, denoted $\mathrm{RC}_n$, states that every infinite set $X$ has an infinite subset $Y\subseteq X$ with a choice function on $[Y]^n := \{z\subseteq Y : |z| = n\}$. We investigate…

Given a parameter dependent fixed point equation $x = F(x,u)$, we derive an abstract compactness principle for the fixed point map $u \mapsto x^*(u)$ under the assumptions that (i) the fixed point equation can be solved by the contraction…

The celebrated Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma states that for all $\varepsilon \in (0,1)$ and finite sets $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$ with $n>1$ elements, there exists a matrix $\Phi \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times N}$ with…

In this paper, we prove two improved versions of the Finiteness Principle for nonnegative $ C^2(\mathbb{R}^2) $ interpolation, previously proven by Fefferman, Israel, and Luli. The first version sharpens the finiteness constant to $ 64 $,…

For an arbitrary set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, and functions $f:E \to \mathbb{R}$, $G: E\to \mathbb{R}^n$ with $G$ bounded, we construct $C^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ convex extensions $(F, \nabla F)$ of $(f,G)$ with the sharp Lipschitz constant $$…

We give an elementary proof of a monotone selection principle which allows to pass from increasing nets to increasing sequences in the Hermitian part of a $\sigma$-finite von Neumann algebra. This is to be seen as a ``monotone version'' of…

We generalize some fundamental results for noncompact Riemannian manfolds without boundary, that only require completeness and no curvature assumptions, to manifolds with boundary: let $M$ be a smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary…

The purpose of this paper is to address a manifold-based version of Whitney's extension problem: Given a compact set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, how can we tell if there exists a $d$-dimensional, $C^m$-smooth manifold $\mathcal{M}\supset E$? We…

Given any positive integers $m$ and $d$, we say the a sequence of points $(x_i)_{i\in I}$ in $\mathbb R^m$ is {\em Lipschitz-$d$-controlling} if one can select suitable values $y_i\; (i\in I)$ such that for every Lipschitz function…

The classical lemma of Borel reads: any power series with real coefficients is the Taylor series of a smooth function. Algebraically this means the surjectivity of the completion map at a point, $C^\infty(\Bbb{R}^n) \twoheadrightarrow…

The following natural question arises from Shalom's innovational work (1999, Publ. IHES): "Can we establish an intrinsic criterion to synthesize relative fixed point properties into the whole fixed point property without assuming Bounded…

McFadden's random-utility model of multinomial choice has long been the workhorse of applied research. We establish shape-restrictions under which multinomial choice-probability functions can be rationalized via random-utility models with…

Our note is a complement to recent articles \cite{JS1} (2011) and \cite{JS2} (2013) by M. Jim\'enez-Sevilla and L. S\'anchez-Gonz\'alez which generalise (the basic statement of) the classical Whitney extension theorem for $C^1$-smooth real…

We obtain variants of the classical von Neumann-Morgenstern expected utility theorem, with and without the completeness axiom, in which the derived Bernoulli utility functions are Lipschitz. The prize space in these results is an arbitrary…

We work in set-theory without choice $\ZF$. Given a closed subset $F$ of $[0,1]^I$ which is a bounded subset of $\ell^1(I)$ ({\em resp.} such that $F \subseteq \ell^0(I)$), we show that the countable axiom of choice for finite subsets of…
