Notions of ordinal submodularity/supermodularity have been introduced and studied in the literature. We consider several classes of ordinally submodular functions defined on finite Boolean lattices and give characterizations of the set of…

Expanding upon recent work, a new class of $A$-functions is introduced that can be viewed as an appropriate generalization of the class of regular $A$-functions, the class of structured $A$-functions, and the class of perfect $A$-functions.…

In a nutshell, submodular functions encode an intuitive notion of diminishing returns. As a result, submodularity appears in many important machine learning tasks such as feature selection and data summarization. Although there has been a…

We complete the characterization of the possible spectrum of regular ultrafilters D on a set I, where the spectrum is the set of infinite cardinals which are ultraproducts of finite cardinals modulo D.

We prove some consistency results about b(lambda) and d(lambda), which are natural generalisations of the cardinal invariants of the continuum b and d. We also define invariants b_cl(lambda) and d_cl(lambda), and prove that almost always…

We count the number of subsets of $\{1,2,\cdots,n\}$ under different conditions and study the sequence obtained as we let $n$ increase.

We get a quite maximal version of the colouring property $Pr_1$ by proving $Pr_1(\lambda,\lambda,\lambda,\theta)$ when $\lambda = \partial^+, \partial > \theta$ are regular cardinals.

A natural connection between rational functions of several real or complex variables, and subspace collections is explored. A new class of function, superfunctions, are introduced which are the counterpart to functions at the level of…

In this paper, we have established boundaries of cardinal numbers of nonempty sets in finite non-$T_1$ topological spaces using interval analysis. For a finite set with known cardinality, we give interval estimations based on the closure…

We consider the space of real-valued continuously differentiable functions on a compact subset of a euclidean space. We characterize the completeness of this space and prove that the space of restrictions of continuously differentiable…

We give the definition of uniform symmetric continuity for functions defined on a nonempty subset of the real line. Then we investigate the properties of uniformly symmetrically continuous functions and compare them with those of…

NF set theory using intuitionistic logic is called iNF. We develop the theories of finite sets and their power sets and mappings, finite cardinals and their ordering, cardinal exponentiation, addition, and multiplication. We follow Rosser…

In this note, we use elementary submodels to prove that a separable monotonically normal compactum can be mapped on a separable metric space via a continuous function whose fibers have cardinality at most 2.

We study the set of lengths of the horizontal chords of a continuous function. We give a new proof of Hopf's characterization of this set, and show that it implies that no matter which function we choose, at least half of the possible…

This preprint concerns Banach spaces of functions converging at infinity. In particular, spaces of continuous functions, Lebesgue spaces and sequence spaces. In each framework we show versions of Riesz's representation theorem.

The celebrated union-closed conjecture is concerned with the cardinalities of various subsets of the Boolean $d$-cube. The cardinality of such a set is equivalent, up to a constant, to its measure under the uniform distribution, so we can…

Let f_1,f_2,..., be functions chosen independently and uniformly from the set of all functions from a set of cardinality n into itself. Let g_t be the composition of the first t functions, and let T be the smallest t for which g_t is…

Over the past years a theory of conjugate duality for set-valued functions that map into the set of upper closed subsets of a preordered topological vector space was developed. For scalar duality theory, continuity of convex functions plays…

We study the set of numbers the total number of independent sets can admit in $n$-vertex graphs. In this paper, we prove that the cardinality $\mathcal{N}i(n)$ of this set is very close to $2^n$ in the following sense: $\mathcal{N}i(n)/2^n…
