In this paper, we introduce and investigate the concepts of down continuity and down compactness. A real valued function $f$ on a subset $E$ of $\R$, the set of real numbers is down continuous if it preserves downward half Cauchy sequences,…
It is shown how all the major conceptual difficulties of standard (textbook) quantum mechanics, including the two measurement problems and the (supposed) nonlocality that conflicts with special relativity, are resolved in the consistent or…
In this paper we combine the notions of partial metric spaces with negative distances, $G_p$-metric spaces and n-metric spaces together into one structure called the partial n-metric spaces. These are generalizations of all the said…
Causal inference is a central goal across many scientific disciplines. Over the past several decades, three major frameworks have emerged to formalize causal questions and guide their analysis: the potential outcomes framework, structural…
Causality is a subject of philosophical debate and a central scientific issue with a long history. In the statistical domain, the study of cause and effect based on the notion of `fairness' in comparisons dates back several hundred years,…
We study quasi-modular pseudometric spaces as asymmetric refinements of modular metric structures. To each such space we associate canonical forward and backward quasi-uniformities and the corresponding directional topologies. We introduce…
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…
In this note a criterion for Cauchy sequences is proved which refines the one presented in `Cauchy sequences in b-metric spaces', Topology Appl. 373 (2025) 109477.
The multisymplectic description of Classical Field Theories is revisited, including its relation with the presymplectic formalism on the space of Cauchy data. Both descriptions allow us to give a complete scheme of classification of…
The aim of the present article is to give an introduction to the concept of quasi-unitary equivalence and to define several (pseudo-)metrics on the space of self-adjoint operators acting possibly in different Hilbert spaces. As some of the…
In this paper we investigate Cauchy completeness and exponentiablity for quantale enriched categories, paying particular attention to probabilistic metric spaces.
Following Lawvere's description of metric spaces using enriched category theory, we introduce a change in the base of enrichment that allows description of some aspects of (relativistic) causal spaces. All such spaces are Cauchy complete,…
A refinement of the classic equivalence relation among Cauchy sequences yields a useful infinitesimal-enriched number system. Such an approach can be seen as formalizing Cauchy's sentiment that a null sequence "becomes" an infinitesimal. We…
The validity of non-perturbative methods is questioned. The concept of relative space is introduced.
Synonymy and translational equivalence are the relations of sameness of meaning within and across languages. As the principal relations in wordnets and multi-wordnets, they are vital to computational lexical semantics, yet the field suffers…
We investigate the rectifiable spaces, the Mal'cev algebras, the almost quasivarieties of topological algebraic systems and their free systems and others. It specifies and corrects the roughest mistakes, incorrect statements and nonsense of…
We study the statistical convergence of metric valued sequences and of their subsequences. The interplay between the statistical and usual convergences in metric spaces is also studied.
We introduce the multivariate analogue of the well known inequality $1+x\leq \mathrm{e}^x$, for an abstract non negative real number $x$. The result emerges from the study of the blow up time of certain solutions of the Cauchy problem for a…
Using the category of metric spaces as a template, we develop a metric analogue of the categorical semantics of classical/intuitionistic logic, and show that the natural notion of predicate in this "continuous semantics" is equivalent to…
This article discusses the notion of convergence of sequences of iterated function systems. The technique of iterated function systems is one of the several methods to construct objects with fractal nature, and the fractals obtained with…
