The statistical measure of spatial inhomogeneity for n points placed in chi cells each of size kxk is generalized to incorporate finite size objects like black pixels for binary patterns of size LxL. As a function of length scale k, the…

We extend the trace-logarithmic $S$-divergence from matrices to tracial $C^*$-algebras and finite von Neumann algebras, and show that its square root defines a metric on the invertible positive cone. We also prove an integral representation…

Certain notions of convergence of sequences functions such as pointwise convergence and (uniform) convergence on compact or bounded sets come from suitable topological function spaces; see [1]. Under certain conditions these topologies…

Let G be an n-vertex graph with m edges. The degree deviation measure of G is defined as s(G)=sum v in V(G)|degG(v)-(2m/n)|, where n and m are the number of vertices and edges of G, respectively. The aim of this paper is to prove the…

Applying the Bonk-Kleiner characterization of Ahlfors 2-regular quasispheres, we show that a metric two-sphere $X$ is a quasisphere if and only if $X$ is linearly locally connected and carries a weak metric doubling measure, i.e., a measure…

Given a nonnegative function $\psi : \N \to \R $, let $W(\psi)$ denote the set of real numbers $x$ such that $|nx -a| < \psi(n) $ for infinitely many reduced rationals $a/n (n>0) $. A consequence of our main result is that $W(\psi)$ is of…

A physical magnetic field has a divergence of zero. Numerical error in constructing a model field and computing the divergence, however, introduces a finite divergence into these calculations. A popular metric for measuring divergence is…
