This issue of the SPM Bulletin announces two conferences which are of interest to anyone working in SPM or general topology. In the second announced conference it is planned to have a significant part devoted to SPM. Those who are…
With the approaching TOPOSYM'16 (http://www.toposym.cz/programme.php), it is a pleasure to see selection principles gain increasing attention and becoming a standard part of topology and set theory. At least eight of the 28 speakers, and a…
This issue contains, in addition to the usual contents, a special festive announcement: A book. This book by Banakh and Zdomsky seems to be the first in a planned series by these authors. We believe that the book will become a cornerstone…
CONTENTS: Lecce Workshop presentations available online; Borel cardinalities below c_0; Hereditarily non-topologizable groups; A hodgepodge of sets of reals; Random gaps; Covering a bounded set of functions by an increasing chain of…
*** Note the comment above *** This is a special issue dedicated to the announcement of Shelah's recent solution of the Minimal Tower problem, one of the oldest and most important problems in infinite combinatorics which also motivated some…
We give a light introduction to selection principles in topology, a young subfield of infinite-combinatorial topology. Emphasis is put on the modern approach to the problems it deals with. Recent results are described, and open problems are…
Contents: 1. Combinatorial and model-theoretical principles related to regularity of ultrafilters and compactness of topological spaces, I; 2. Frechet-Urysohn fans in free topological groups; 3. Packing index of subsets in Polish groups; 4.…
In the last years many results in the area of semidefinite programming were obtained for invariant (finite dimensional, or infinite dimensional) semidefinite programs - SDPs which have symmetry. This was done for a variety of problems and…
Contents: 1. Editor's note; 2. Personal impressions from the SPM07 meeting; 3. Research announcements; 3.1. Coloring ordinals by reals; 3.2. Long Borel Hierarchies; 3.3. Rothberger's property in finite powers; 3.4. Special subsets of the…
This festive issue concludes the civilian year 2008 with details on a special issue of Topology and its Applications dedicated to SPM, and with a quite large list of research announcements.
CONTENTS: New reals: Can live with them, can live without them; Uniform almost everywhere domination; Heredity of tau-pseudocompactness; Understanding preservation theorems: omega^omega-bounding; Classification problems in continuum theory;…
After a long break, we are back with some very interesting research announcements and an open problem which is one of the most difficult, long lasting, and important problems in the field. A major change in this bulletin is that from now on…
In this paper we study fundamental directional properties of sets under the assumption of condition (SSP) (introduced in a previous paper). We show several transversality theorems in the singular case and an (SSP)-structure preserving…
This survey contains a selection of topics unified by the concept of positive semi-definiteness (of matrices or kernels), reflecting natural constraints imposed on discrete data (graphs or networks) or continuous objects (probability or…
This issue contains announcements of articles on: The Pytkeev property; Partial order embeddings; Resolvability; Singular density; P(w)/fin and the Calkin algebra; Everywhere meagre and everywhere null sets; almost disjoint families;…
An S-approximation space is a novel approach to study systems with uncertainty that are not expressible in terms of inclusion relations. In this work, we further examined these spaces, mostly from a topological point of view by a…
This article is an introduction to combinatorics under the axiom of determinacy with a focus on partition properties and infinity Borel codes.
We give a selection of major open problems involving selective properties, diagonalizations, and covering properties for sets of real numbers. This is a revision of the version published as a chapter in the book \textbf{Open Problems in…
For over three decades, scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has been a key method for exploring material structures and functionalities at nanometer and often atomic scales in ambient, liquid, and vacuum environments. Historically, SPM…
The field of computational statistics refers to statistical methods or tools that are computationally intensive. Due to the recent advances in computing power some of these methods have become prominent and central to modern data analysis.…
