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)…
We introduce here a natural functional associated to any $b \in QH_* (M, \omega)$: \emph{spectral length functional}, on the space of "generalized paths" in $ \text {Ham}(M, \omega)$, closely related to both the Hofer length functional and…
Methods for choosing from a set of options are often based on a strict partial order on these options, or on a set of such partial orders. I here provide a very general axiomatic characterisation for choice functions of this form. It…
We generalize Chirka's theorem on the extension of functions holomorphic in a neighbourhood of graph(F)\cup(\partial D\times D) -- where D is the open unit disc and graph(F) denotes the graph of a continuous D-valued function F -- to the…
In this paper we provide a rigorous mathematical foundation for continuous approximations of a class of systems with piece-wise continuous functions. By using techniques from the theory of differential inclusions, the underlying piece-wise…
We construct a H\"older continuous function on the unit interval which coincides in uncountably (in fact continuum) many points with every function of total variation smaller than 1 passing through the origin. We say that a function with…
In this article it is shown that the study of harmonic diffeomorphisms, with nonvanishing Hopf differential, reduces to the study of the Beltrami equation of a certain type: the imaginary part of the logarithm of the Beltrami function…
For a random walk killed at leaving a cone we suggest two new constructions of a positive harmonic function. These constructions allow one to remove a quite strong extendability assumption, which has been imposed in our previous paper…
We study independent and identically distributed random iterations of continuous maps defined on a connected closed subset $S$ of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{k}$. We assume the maps are monotone (with respect to a suitable partial…
It is proved that harmonic functions are characterized by harmonicity of their spherical means, for which purpose the iterated spherical means are used. The similar characterization of solutions to the modified Helmholtz equation…
We study projective functions. We prove that projective functions generalise lower and upper-semianalytic ones while being stable by composition and difference. We show that the class of projective functions is closed under sums,…
In aggregation-fragmentation processes, a steady state is usually reached in the long time limit. This indicates the existence of a fixed point in the underlying system of ordinary differential equations. The next simplest possibility is an…
We study continuous, symmetric and unanimous aggregation functions and continuous majority functions and prove that such functions exist on a choice space if and only if the choice space is contractible.
We study the length of short cycles on uniformly random metric maps (also known as ribbon graphs) of large genus using a Teichm\"uller theory approach. We establish that, as the genus tends to infinity, the length spectrum converges to a…
In Persistent Homology and Topology, filtrations are usually given by introducing an ordered collection of sets or a continuous function from a topological space to $\R^n$. A natural question arises, whether these approaches are equivalent…
We have established various criteria for the topological transitivity of families of continuous (holomorphic) functions. Furthermore, by leveraging the properties of expanding families of meromorphic functions, we offer an alternative proof…
We work within the framework of a program aimed at exploring various extended versions for theorems from a class containing Borsuk-Ulam type theorems, some fixed point theorems, the KKM lemma, Radon, Tverberg, and Helly theorems. In this…
We define analogues of Boolean operations on not necessarily complete partial orders, they often have as results sets of elements rather than single elements. It proves useful to add to such sets X if they are intended to be sup(X) or…
The ring operations and the metric on $C(X)$ are extended to the set $\mathbb{H}_{nf}(X)$ of all nearly finite Hausdorff continuous interval valued functions and it is shown that $\mathbb{H}_{nf}(X)$ is both rationally and topologically…
The concept of time series irreversibility -- the degree by which the statistics of signals are not invariant under time reversal -- naturally appears in non-equilibrium physics in stationary systems which operate away from equilibrium and…
