Let $T$ be a compact, metrisable and strongly countable-dimensional topological space. Let $\mathcal{M}^T$ be the set of all metrics $d$ on $T$ compatible with its topology, and equip $\mathcal{M}^T$ with the topology of uniform…

The purpose of this paper is to present a collection of interesting generating functions for partitions which have connections to positive definite binary quadratic forms. In establishing our results we obtain some new Bailey pairs.

In this paper we will turn our attention to the problem of obtaining phase-space probability density functions. We will show that it is possible to obtain functions which assume only positive values over all its domain of definition.

Using a metric conformal formulation of the Einstein equations, we develop a construction of 4-dimensional anti-de Sitter-like spacetimes coupled to tracefree matter models. Our strategy relies on the formulation of an initial-boundary…

We look for algebraic certificates of positivity for functions which are not necessarily polynomial functions. Similar questions were examined earlier by Lasserre and Putinar and by Putinar. We explain how these results can be understood as…

Positive definite functions of compact support are widely used for radial basis function approximation as well as for estimation of spatial processes in geostatistics. Several constructions of such functions for ${\mathbb R}^d$ are based…

In this article, we derive a common fixed point result for a pair of single valued and set-valued mappings on a metric space having graphical structure. In this case, the set-valued map is assumed to be closed valued instead of closed and…

In this paper, we give a new generalization of positive sectional curvature called positive weighted sectional curvature. It depends on a choice of Riemannian metric and a smooth vector field. We give several simple examples of Riemannian…

We develop a version of Herbrand's theorem for continuous logic and use it to prove that definable functions in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces are piecewise approximable by affine functions. We obtain similar results for definable…

In this paper, we present a constructive generalization of metric and uniform spaces by introducing a new class of spaces, called cover spaces. These spaces form a topological concrete category with a full reflective subcategory of complete…

We obtain explicit expressions for the class in the Grothendieck group of varieties of the moduli space of genus 0 stable curves with n marked points. This information is equivalent to the Poincar\'e polynomial; it implies explicit…

It is a well known result of Gromov that all manifolds of a given dimension with positive sectional curvature are subject to a universal bound on the sum of their Betti numbers. On the other hand, there is no such bound for manifolds with…

We introduce a generalization of symmetric functions and apply the resulting theory to compute the class in the Grothendieck ring of varieties of the space of geometrically irreducible hypersurfaces of a fixed degree in projective space.

In this paper we make some observations concerning m-metric spaces and point out some discrepancies in the proofs found in the literature. To remedy this, we propose a new topological construction and prove that it is in fact a…

The major motives of this paper are to study different types of contractive mappings and also to answer an open question of Garai et al. [The contractive principle for mappings in $b_v(s)$-metric spaces, arXiv:1802.03136]. We first set up…

In this note, we discuss some fixed point theorems for contractive self mappings defined on a $G$-metric spaces. More precisely, we give fised point theorems for mappings with a contractive iterate at a point.

We study approximately differentiable functions on metric measure spaces admitting a Cheeger differentiable structure. The main result is a Whitney-type characterization of approximately differentiable functions in this setting. As an…

Positive definite functions are very important in both theory and applications of approximation theory, probability and statistics. In particular, identifying strictly positive definite kernels is of great interest as interpolation problems…
