Teramoto et al. defined a new measure called the gap ratio that measures the uniformity of a finite point set sampled from $\cal S$, a bounded subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$. We generalize this definition of measure over all metric spaces by…

Given a partially ordered set $P$ we study properties of topological spaces $X$ admitting a $P$-base, i.e., an indexed family $(U_\alpha)_{\alpha\in P}$ of subsets of $X\times X$ such that $U_\beta\subset U_\alpha$ for all $\alpha\le\beta$…

In the context of the Relativistic Quantum Geometry formalism, where the cosmological constant is promoted to a dynamical variable by attributing it a geometric interpretation as a result of a flux on the boundary of a manifold and…

We consider approximating a measure by a parameterized curve subject to length penalization. That is for a given finite positive compactly supported measure $\mu$, for $p \geq 1$ and $\lambda>0$ we consider the functional \[ E(\gamma) =…

The set of all idempotent probability measures (Maslov measures) on a compact Hausdorff space endowed with the weak* topology determines is functorial on the category $\comp$ of compact Hausdorff spaces. We prove that the obtained functor…

In this paper we introduce several quantitative methods for the lambda-calculus based on partial metrics, a well-studied variant of standard metric spaces that have been used to metrize non-Hausdorff topologies, like those arising from…

In this paper we establish that the functor of idempotent probability measures acting in the category of compacta and their continous mappings is perfect metrisable

Measurement incompatibility stipulates the existence of quantum measurements that cannot be carried out simultaneously on single systems. We show that the set of input-output probabilities obtained from d-dimensional classical systems…

Following the development of weighted asymptotic approximation properties of matrices, we introduce the analogous uniform approximation properties (that is, study the improvability of Dirichlet's Theorem). An added feature is the use of…

Given a metrizable space $Z$, denote by ${\rm PM}(Z)$ the space of continuous bounded pseudometrics on $Z$, and denote by ${\rm AM}(Z)$ the one of continuous bounded admissible metrics on $Z$, the both of which are equipped with the…

In analogy to the situation for continuous lattices which were introduced by Dana Scott as precisely the injective T$_0$ spaces via the (nowadays called) Scott topology, we study those metric spaces which correspond to injective T$_0$…

Generalized metric spaces are obtained by weakening the requirements (e.g., symmetry) on the distance function and by allowing it to take values in structures (e.g., quantales) that are more general than the set of non-negative real…

Let $\Gamma$ be a dense countable subgroup of a locally compact continuous group $G$. Take a probability measure $\mu$ on $\Gamma$. There are two natural spaces of harmonic functions: the space of $\mu$-harmonic functions on the countable…

Let $\mathfrak{M}$ be a class of metric spaces. A metric space $Y$ is minimal $\mathfrak{M}$-universal if every $X\in\mathfrak{M}$ can be isometrically embedded in $Y$ but there are no proper subsets of $Y$ satisfying this property. We find…

A generic method for combinatorial constructions of intrinsic geometrical spaces is presented. It is based on the well known inverse sequences of finite graphs that determine (in the limit) topological spaces. If a pattern of the…

We develop a new concept of non-positive curvature for metric spaces, based on intersection patterns of closed balls. In contrast to the synthetic approaches of Alexandrov and Buesemann, our concept also applies to metric spaces that might…

We consider the invariant measure of homogeneous random walks in the quarter-plane. In particular, we consider measures that can be expressed as a finite linear combination of geometric terms and present conditions on the structure of these…

This paper concerns the self-similarity of topological spaces, in the sense defined in math.DS/0411344. I show how to recognize self-similar spaces, or more precisely, universal solutions of self-similarity systems. Examples include the…

Uniform measures are defined as the functionals on the space of bounded uniformly continuous functions that are continuous on bounded uniformly equicontinuous sets. If every cardinal has measure zero then every countably additive measure is…

Finite frames can be viewed as mass points distributed in $N$-dimensional Euclidean space. As such they form a subclass of a larger and rich class of probability measures that we call probabilistic frames. We derive the basic properties of…
