For fragments L of first-order logic (FO) with counting quantifiers, we consider the definability problem, which asks whether a given L-formula can be equivalently expressed by a formula in some fragment of L without counting, and the more…
Every computable function has to be continuous. To develop computability theory of discontinuous functions, we study low levels of the arithmetical hierarchy of nonuniformly computable functions on Baire space. First, we classify…
A map $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is defined to be {\em scatteredly continuous} if for each subspace $A\subset X$ the restriction $f|A$ has a point of continuity. We show that for a function $f:X\to Y$ from a perfectly paracompact…
The main objective of this paper is to present Ostrowski's inequality for a broader class of functions and to propose a refinement to the classical version of it. The original Ostrowski's inequality can be stated as follows "If…
We give a short proof of an improved version of the Effros Open Mapping Principle via a shift-compactness theorem (also with a short proof), involving `sequential analysis' rather than separability, deducing it from the Baire property in a…
We discuss removability problems concerning differentiability and pointwise Lipschitz conditions for functions of a real variable. We prove that, in each of the settings under consideration, a set is removable if and only if it has no…
Let $f: B^n \rightarrow {\mathbb R}$ be a $d+1$ times continuously differentiable function on the unit ball $B^n$, with $\max_{z\in B^n} \| f(z) \|=1$. A well-known fact is that if $f$ vanishes on a set $Z\subset B^n$ with a non-empty…
Conditions for the unique solvability of the Cauchy problem for a family of scalar functional differential equations are obtained. These conditions are sufficient for the solvability of the Cauchy problem for every equation from the family…
It is known that the topology of a Polish group is uniquely determined by its Borel structure and group operations, but this does not give us a way to find the topology. In this article we expand on this theorem and give a criterion for a…
Very simple sufficient conditions for the irreducibility of $f(X^n)$ over an arbitrary unique factorization domain $Z$ are established via a generalization of a well known theorem of A. Capelli.
A function from Baire space to the natural numbers is called formally continuous if it is induced by a morphism between the corresponding formal spaces. We compare formal continuity to two other notions of continuity on Baire space working…
The notion of movability for metrizable compacts was introduced by K.Borsuk. In this paper we define the notion of movable category and prove that the movability of a topological space $X$ coincides with the movability of a suitable…
The main result of this paper states, that if a function $f:\R^2\to [0, +\infty)$ has a closed graph and the set of discontinuity points is a network (as defined by Kuratowski in Topology II, 61.IV), then the graph of $f$ is disconnected.…
Property A introduced by Guoliang Yu is an amenability-type property for metric spaces. In this article, we study property A for uniformly locally finite coarse spaces. Main examples of coarse spaces are a metric space, a set equipped with…
Let $\I$ be an ideal on $\N$ which is either analytic or coanalytic. Assume that $(f_n)$ is a sequence of functions with the Baire property from a Polish space $X$ into a complete metric space $Z$, which is divergent on a comeager set. We…
A celebrated 1922 theorem of Kuratowski states that there are at most 14 distinct sets arising from applying the operations of complementation and closure, any number of times, in any order, to a subset of a topological space. In this paper…
Let $f: X\times K\to \mathbb R$ be a separately continuous function and $\mathcal C$ a countable collection of subsets of $K$. Following a result of Calbrix and Troallic, there is a residual set of points $x\in X$ such that $f$ is jointly…
Federer's characterization of sets of finite perimeter states (in Euclidean spaces) that a set is of finite perimeter if and only if the measure-theoretic boundary of the set has finite Hausdorff measure of codimension one. In complete…
In the absence of the Axiom of Choice, necessary and sufficient conditions for a locally compact Hausdorff space to have all non-empty second-countable compact Hausdorff spaces as remainders are given in $\mathbf{ZF}$. Among other…
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)…
