A method of proving local continuity of concave functions on convex set possessing the $\mu$-compactness property is presented. This method is based on a special approximation of these functions. The class of $\mu$-compact sets can be…

In applications it is useful to know whether a topological preordered space is normally preordered. It is proved that every $k_\omega$-space equipped with a closed preorder is a normally preordered space. Furthermore, it is proved that…

By embedding uncertainty into time, we obtain a conjoint axiomatic characterization of both Exponential Discounting and Subjective Expected Utility that accommodates arbitrary state and outcome spaces. In doing so, we provide a novel and…

We show that the main results of the expected utility and dual utility theories can be derived in a unified way from two fundamental mathematical ideas: the separation principle of convex analysis, and integral representations of continuous…

The Lebesgue property (order-continuity) of a monotone convex function on a solid vector space of measurable functions is characterized in terms of (1) the weak inf-compactness of the conjugate function on the order-continuous dual space,…

The continuity problem, i.e., the question whether effective maps between effectively given topological spaces are effectively continuous, is reconsidered. In earlier work it was shown that this is always the case, if the effective map also…

We propose a necessary and sufficient condition for a real-valued function on the real line to be a characteristic function of a probability measures. The statement is given in terms of harmonic functions and completely monotonic functions.

The aim of this paper is to give a simpler, more usable sufficient condition to the regularity of generic weakly stationary time series. Also, this condition is used to show how regular processes satisfying these sufficient conditions can…

We examine conditions on a (compact metrizable) space $X$ such that for any space $Y$ and closed subspace $Z$, the set of continuous functions from $Z$ to $X$ which extend to $Y$ is either open or closed in the set of continuous functions…

We show that an arithmetic function which satisfies some weak multiplicativity properties and in addition has a non-decreasing or $\log$-uniformly continuous normal order is close to a function of the form $n\mapsto n^c$. As an application…
