The paper is an extensive and systematic study of cardinal invariants we call slalom numbers, describing the combinatorics of sequences of sets of natural numbers. Our general approach, based on relational systems, covers many such cardinal…

The set of continuous or Baire class 1 functions defined on a metric space $X$ is endowed with the natural pointwise partial order. We investigate how the possible lengths of well-ordered monotone sequences (with respect to this order)…

We give an alternative proof of a fact that a finite continuous non-decreasing submodular set function on a measurable space can be expressed as a supremum of measures dominated by the function, if there exists a class of sets which is…

We examine measure-theoretic properties of spaces constructed using certain technique of Todor\v{c}evi\'{c}. We show that the existence of strictly positive measures on such spaces depends on combinatorial properties of certain families of…

A design is a finite set of points in a space on which every "simple" functions averages to its global mean. Illustrative examples of simple functions are low-degree polynomials on the Euclidean sphere or on the Hamming cube. We prove lower…

We answer two questions from {\it V.Bykov, On Baire class one functions on a product space, Topol. Appl. {199} (2016) 55--62,} and prove that every Baire one function on a subspace of a countable perfectly normal product is the pointwise…

We investigate Baire-one functions whose graph is contained in a graph of usco mapping. We prove in particular that such a function defined on a metric space with values in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous…

In a previous paper, an implementable algorithm was introduced to compute discrete solutions of sweeping processes (i.e. specific first order differential inclusions). The convergence of this numerical scheme was proved thanks to…

We investigate the existence of well-ordered sequences of Baire 1 functions on separable metric spaces.

Every frame in Hilbert space contains a subsequence equivalent to an orthogonal basis. If a frame is n-dimensional then this subsequence has length (1 - \epsilon) n. On the other hand, there is a frame which does not contain bases with…

We show that any semi-algebraic sweeping process admits piecewise absolutely continuous solutions, and any such bounded trajectory must have finite length. Analogous results hold more generally for sweeping processes definable in o-minimal…

According to a result of Kocinac and Scheepers, the Hurewicz covering property is equivalent to a somewhat simpler selection property: For each sequence of large open covers of the space one can choose finitely many elements from each cover…

It is consistent that for every function f:R x R-> R there is an uncountable set A subseteq R and two continuous functions f_0,f_1:D(A)-> R such that f(alpha, beta) in {f_0(alpha, beta),f_1(alpha, beta)} for every (alpha, beta) in A^2,…

A summation is a shift-invariant ${\rm R}$-module homomorphism from a submodule of ${\rm R}[[\sigma]]$ to ${\rm R}$ or another ring. [11] formalized a method for extending a summation to a larger domain by telescoping. In this paper, we…

We introduce a new approximation technique into the context of complex dynamics that allows us to construct examples of transcendental entire functions with unbounded wandering domains. We provide examples of entire functions with an orbit…

We prove bounds for the covering numbers of classes of convex functions and convex sets in Euclidean space. Previous results require the underlying convex functions or sets to be uniformly bounded. We relax this assumption and replace it…

Let $\Lambda$ be the limit set of an infinite conformal iterated function system and let $F$ denote the set of fixed points of the maps. We prove that the box dimension of $\Lambda$ exists if and only if \[ \overline{\dim}_{\mathrm B} F\leq…

This paper demonstrates that the space of piecewise smooth functions can be well approximated by the space of functions defined by a set of simple (non-linear) operations on smooth uniform splines. The examples include bivariate functions…

Results of Sierpinski and others have shown that certain finite-dimensional product sets can be written as unions of subsets, each of which is "narrow" in a corresponding direction; that is, each line in that direction intersects the subset…

We consider positively supported Borel measures for which all moments exist. On the set of compactly supported measures in this class a partial order is defined via eventual dominance of the moment sequences. Special classes are identified…
