$\Gamma$-convergence methods are used to prove homogenization results for fractional obstacle problems in periodically perforated domains. The obstacles have random sizes and shapes and their capacity scales according to a stationary…
This paper is devoted to the relationships and properties of the endograph metric and the $\Gamma$-convergence. The main contents can be divided into three closely related parts. Firstly, on the class of upper semi-continuous fuzzy sets…
This paper discusses the properties the spaces of fuzzy sets in a metric space equipped with the endograph metric and the sendograph metric, respectively. We first give some relations among the endograph metric, the sendograph metric and…
We generalize the family of $(\sigma, \rho)$-problems and locally checkable vertex partition problems to their distance versions, which naturally captures well-known problems such as distance-$r$ dominating set and distance-$r$ independent…
We approximate functionals depending on the gradient of $u$ and on the behaviour of $u$ near the discontinuity points, by families of non-local functionals where the gradient is replaced by finite differences. We prove pointwise…
By Gromov's compactness theorem for metric spaces, every uniformly compact sequence of metric spaces admits an isometric embedding into a common compact metric space in which a subsequence converges with respect to the Hausdorff distance.…
A {\em resolving set} for a graph $\Gamma$ is a collection of vertices $S$, chosen so that for each vertex $v$, the list of distances from $v$ to the members of $S$ uniquely specifies $v$. The {\em metric dimension} of $\Gamma$ is the…
In this paper, we present the characterizations of total boundedness, relative compactness and compactness in fuzzy set spaces equipped with the endograph metric. The conclusions in this paper significantly improve the corresponding…
This paper introduces the \emph{$d$-distance matching problem}, in which we are given a bipartite graph $G=(S,T;E)$ with $S=\{s_1,\dots,s_n\}$, a weight function on the edges and an integer $d\in\mathbb Z_+$. The goal is to find a maximum…

The Ulam distance of two permutations on $[n]$ is $n$ minus the length of their longest common subsequence. In this paper, we show that for every $\varepsilon>0$, there exists some $\alpha>0$, and an infinite set $\Gamma\subseteq…
A new class of conformal field theories is presented, where the background gravitational field is conformally flat. Conformally flat (CF) spacetimes enjoy conformal properties quite similar to the ones of flat spacetime. The conformal…
Let $(X,d,p)$ be a pointed metric space. A pretangent space to $X$ at $p$ is a metric space consisting of some equivalence classes of convergent to $p$ sequences $(x_n), x_n \in X,$ whose degree of convergence is comparable with a given…
We consider mappings satisfying an upper bound for the distortion of families of curves. We establish lower bounds for the distortion of distances under such mappings. As applications, we obtain theorems on the discreteness of the limit…
Let $X$ be a locally symmetric space $\Gamma\backslash G/K$ where $G$ is a connected non-compact semisimple real Lie group with trivial centre, $K$ is a maximal compact subgroup of $G$, and $\Gamma\subset G$ is a torsion-free irreducible…
The equivariant Gromov--Hausdorff convergence of metric spaces is studied. Where all isometry groups under consideration are compact Lie, it is shown that an upper bound on the dimension of the group guarantees that the convergence is by…
Suppose that $\Gamma$ is a conformal loop ensemble (CLE$_\kappa$) with simple loops ($\kappa \in (8/3,4)$) in a simply connected domain $D \subseteq {\mathbf C}$ whose boundary is itself a type of CLE$_\kappa$ loop. Let $\Upsilon$ be the…
How should one define metric space notions of convergence for sequences of spacetimes? Since a Lorentzian manifold does not define a metric space directly, the uniform convergence, Gromov-Hausdorff (GH) convergence, and Sormani-Wenger…
It is a generally shared opinion that significant information about the topology of a bounded domain $\Omega $ of a riemannian manifold $M$ is encoded into the properties of the distance, $d_{\partial\Omega}$, %, $d:\Omega\rightarrow…
We prove a $\Gamma$-convergence result for Cheeger energies along sequences of metric measure spaces, where the measure space is kept fixed, while distances are monotonically converging from below to the limit one. As a consequence, we show…
