Let $\mathsf{TT}^2_k$ denote the combinatorial principle stating that every $k$-coloring of pairs of compatible nodes in the full binary tree has a homogeneous solution, i.e. an isomorphic subtree in which all pairs of compatible nodes have…

This note describes Fatou's lemma and Lebesgue's dominated convergence theorem for a sequence of measures converging weakly to a finite measure and for a sequence of functions whose negative parts are uniformly integrable with respect to…

The Jordan decomposition theorem states that every function $f \colon [0,1] \to \mathbb{R}$ of bounded variation can be written as the difference of two non-decreasing functions. Combining this fact with a result of Lebesgue, every function…

Fatou's lemma states under appropriate conditions that the integral of the lower limit of a sequence of functions is not greater than the lower limit of the integrals. This note describes similar inequalities when, instead of a single…

Euler's gamma function is logarithmically convex on positive semi-axis. Additivity of logarithmic convexity implies that the function sum of gammas with non-negative coefficients is also log-convex. In this paper we investigate the series…

Fatou's lemma is a classic fact in real analysis that states that the limit inferior of integrals of functions is greater than or equal to the integral of the inferior limit. This paper introduces a stronger inequality that holds uniformly…

Lusin's Theorem states that, for every Borel-measurable function $\bf{f}$ on $\mathbb R$ and every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a continuous function $\bf{g}$ on $\mathbb R$ which is equal to $\bf{f}$ except on a set of measure $<\epsilon$.…

We prove conservativity results for weak K\H{o}nig's lemma that extend the celebrated result of Harrington (for $\Pi^1_1$-statements) and are somewhat orthogonal to the extension by Simpson, Tanaka and Yamazaki (for statements of the form…

The aim of this paper is to determine the logical and computational strength of instances of the Bolzano-Weierstra{\ss} principle (BW) and a weak variant of it. We show that BW is instance-wise equivalent to the weak K\"onig's lemma for…

Beurling slow variation is generalized to Beurling regular variation. A Uniform Convergence Theorem, not previously known, is proved for those functions of this class that are measurable or have the Baire property. This permits their…

We show in Bishop's constructive mathematics---in particular, using countable choice---that weak K\"{o}nig's lemma implies the uniform continuity theorem.

Szemeredi's regularity lemma can be viewed as a rough structure theorem for arbitrary dense graphs, decomposing such graphs into a structured piece (a partition into cells with edge densities), a small error (corresponding to irregular…

We deal with the random combinatorial structures called assemblies. By weakening the logarithmic condition which assures regularity of the number of components of a given order, we extend the notion of logarithmic assemblies. Using the…

It is well-known that any finite $\Pi^{0}_{1}$-class of $2^{\mathbb N}$ has a computable member. Then, how can we understand this in the context of reverse mathematics? In this note, we consider several very weak fragments of K\H{o}nig's…

Every function over the natural numbers has an infinite subdomain on which the function is non-decreasing. Motivated by a question of Dzhafarov and Schweber, we study the reverse mathematics of variants of this statement. It turns out that…

We prove that on the Baire space $(D^{\kappa},\pi)$, $\kappa \geq \omega_0$ where $D$ is a uniformly discrete space having $\omega _1$-strongly compact cardinal and $\pi$ denotes the product uniformity on $D^\kappa$, there exists a…

We investigate the statement that the Lebesgue measure defined on all subsets of the Cantor space exists. As base system we take $\mathsf{ACA}_0^\omega + (\mu)$. The system $\mathsf{ACA}_0^\omega$ is the higher order extension of Friedman's…

Let $R$ be a ring with identity $1$. Jacobson's lemma states that for any $a,b\in R$, if $1-ab$ is invertible then so is $1-ba$. Jacobson's lemma has suitable analogues for several types of generalized inverses, e.g., Drazin inverse,…

In his book, John Stillwell wrote "finding the exact strength of the Brouwer invariance theorems seems to me one of the most interesting open problems in reverse mathematics." In this article, we solve Stillwell's problem by showing that…

We study the reverse mathematics of characterization theorems of regular countable second countable spaces (or $CSCS$ for short). We prove that arithmetic comprehension is equivalent over $\textbf{RCA}_0$ to every $T_3$ $CSCS$ being…
