We use variants of the $\mathbb{G}_0$ dichotomy to establish a refinement of Solecki's basis theorem for the family of Baire-class one functions which are not $\sigma$-continuous with closed witnesses.
We prove that for any $\alpha\in[0,\omega_1)$ there exists a strongly separately continuous function $f:\ell_\infty\to [0,1]$ such that $f$ belongs to the $(\alpha+1)$'th /$(\alpha+2)$'th/ Baire class and does not belong to the $\alpha$'th…
We give a new characterization of the Baire class 1 functions (defined on an ultrametric space) by proving that they are exactly the pointwise limits of sequences of full functions (which are particularly simple Lipschitz functions).…
The dichotomy discovered by Solecki in \cite{Sol} states that any Baire class 1 function is either $\sigma$-continuous or "includes" the Pawlikowski function $P$. The aim of this paper is to give an argument which is simpler than the…
For any Borel ideal we characterize ideal equal Baire system generated by the families of continuous and quasi-continuous functions, i.e., the families of ideal equal limits of sequences of continuous and quasi-continuous functions.
We give a full description of the structure under inclusion of all finite level Borel classes of functions, and provide an elementary proof of the well-known fact that not every Borel function can be written as a countable union of…
This is a survey on the finite basis problem for varieties of algebraic systems. Our exposition is in two directions: (i) We give numerous examples of varieties which are not finitely based. (ii) We give examples of important varieties with…
Let $\lambda$ be an uncountable cardinal such that $2^{< \lambda } = \lambda$. Working in the setup of generalized descriptive set theory, we study the structure of $\lambda^+$-Borel measurable functions with respect to various kinds of…
Let $K$ be a compact metric space. A real-valued function on $K$ is said to be of Baire class one (Baire-1) if it is the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions. In this paper, we study two well known ordinal indices of…
Let $B_{1}(\Omega, \mathbb R)$ be the first Baire class of real functions in the pluri-fine topology on an open set $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb C^{n}$ and let $H_{1}^{*}(\Omega, \mathbb R)$ be the first functional Lebesgue class of real…
The present research deals with generalizations of the Salem function with arguments defined in terms of certain alternating expansions of real numbers. The special attention is given to modelling such functions by systems of functional…
We extend first-order logic to include variadic function symbols, and prove a substitution lemma. Two applications are given: one to bounded quantifier elimination and one to the definability of certain Borel sets.
The set of continuous or Baire class 1 functions defined on a metric space $X$ is endowed with the natural pointwise partial order. We investigate how the possible lengths of well-ordered monotone sequences (with respect to this order)…
Let $X$ be a Polish space and $K$ a separable compact subset of the first Baire class on $X$. For every sequence $\bs$ dense in $\kk$, the descriptive set-theoretic properties of the set \[ \lbf=\{L\in[\nn]: (f_n)_{n\in L} \text{is…
The theory of ordinal ranks on Baire class 1 functions developed by Kechris and Loveau was recently extended by Elekes, Kiss and Vidny\'{a}nszky to Baire class $\xi$ functions for any countable ordinal $\xi\geq1$. In this paper, we answer…
Examples of discontinuous functions already appear in the work of Euler, Abel, Dirichlet, Fourier, and Bolzano. A ground-breaking discovery due to Baire was that many discontinuous functions are well-behaved in that they are the pointwise…
We have discovered three non-power infinite series representations for Bessel functions of the first kind of integer orders and real arguments. These series contain only elementary functions and are remarkably simple. Each series was…
In this note, we establish some new results on some special types of function algebras and also give new proofs to some existing ones
Kechris and Louveau showed that each real-valued bounded Baire class 1 function defined on a compact metric space can be written as an alternating sum of a decreasing countable transfinite sequence of upper semi-continuous functions.…
We prove that if $X$ is a paracompact space, $Y$ is a metric space and $f:X\to Y$ is a functionally fragmented map, then (i) $f$ is $\sigma$-discrete and functionally $F_\sigma$-measurable; (ii) $f$ is a Baire-one function, if $Y$ is weak…
