Absolutely continuous commuting row contractions admit a weak-$*$ continuous functional calculus. Building on recent work describing the first and second dual spaces of the closure of the polynomial multipliers on the Drury-Arveson space,…

We construct and study the class of continuous on $[0, 1]$ functions with continuum set of peculiarities (singular, nowhere monotonic, and non-differentiable functions are among them). The representative of this class is the function…

By designating vertices with variables, a simple undirected graph can be augmented to have an associated representing rational function in two variables taking the complex bi-upper halfplane to itself. We give relations between representing…

In the present paper we obtain a new homological version of the implicit function theorem and some versions of the Darboux theorem. Such results are proved for continuous maps on topological manifolds. As a consequence, some versions of…

In many domains it is desirable to assess the preferences of users in a qualitative rather than quantitative way. Such representations of qualitative preference orderings form an importnat component of automated decision tools. We propose a…

The paper is the second of two and shows that (assuming large cardinals) set theory is a tractable (and we dare to say tame) first order theory when formalized in a first order signature with natural predicate symbols for the basic…

In this paper, we consider a continuum class of continuous nowhere monotonic functions that generalize certain non-differentiable functions, including the Bush function, Wunderlich function, continuous Cantor projectors, Tribin function,…

A representation of $\mathfrak{gl}(V)=V \otimes V^*$ is a linear map $\mu \colon \mathfrak{gl}(V) \otimes M \to M$ satisfying a certain identity. By currying, giving a linear map $\mu$ is equivalent to giving a linear map $a \colon V…

Given a function $F$ transforming a probability measure $\mu$ into another one $F(\mu)$, we study the existence and regularity of a transport representation of it. That is, we ask whether we can represent the image $F(\mu)$ of the input…

For an arbitrary topological space $X$, assume that $S(X)$ is the vector lattice of all equivalence classes of real-valued continuous functions on open dense subsets of $X$; it is a laterally complete vector lattice but not a normed…

We prove two representability theorems, up to homotopy, for presheaves taking values in a closed symmetric combinatorial model category \cat V. The first theorem resembles the Freyd representability theorem, the second theorem is closer to…

We introduce certain linear positive operators and study some approximation properties of these operators in the space of functions, continuous on a compact set, of two variables. We also find the order of this approximation by using…

The recent extensions of domain theory have proved particularly efficient to study lattice-valued maxitive measures, when the target lattice is continuous. Maxitive measures are defined analogously to classical measures with the supremum…

We investigate integral representation of vector-valued function spaces, i.e., of subspaces $H\subset C(K,E)$, where $K$ is a compact space and $E$ is a (real or complex) Banach space. We point out that there are two possible ways of…

The binary relation framework has been shown to be applicable to many real-life preference handling scenarios. Here we study preference contraction: the problem of discarding selected preferences. We argue that the property of minimality…

If a real-valued function is continuous on a real interval and it takes on two different values, then it will also take any value in between those two, by the Intermediate Value Theorem. It is not immediately clear what would be a natural…
