The concept of measurability of functions on a charge space is generalised for functions taking values in a uniform space. Several existing forms of measurability generalise naturally in this context, and new forms of measurability are…

We prove that a symmetric nonnegative function of two variables on a Lebesgue space that satisfies the triangle inequality for almost all triples of points is equivalent to some semimetric. Some other properties of metric triples (spaces…

In spacetime physics, we frequently need to consider a set of all spaces (`universes') as a whole. In particular, the concept of `closeness' between spaces is essential. However, there has been no established mathematical theory so far…

A metric space $\mathrm{M}=(M,\de)$ is {\em indivisible} if for every colouring $\chi: M\to 2$ there exists $i\in 2$ and a copy $\mathrm{N}=(N, \de)$ of $\mathrm{M}$ in $\mathrm{M}$ so that $\chi(x)=i$ for all $x\in N$. The metric space…

This article concerns a class of metric spaces, which we call multigeodesic spaces, where between any two distinct points there exist multiple distinct minimising geodesics. We provide a simple characterisation of multigeodesic normed…

We consider the question of computing invariant measures from an abstract point of view. We work in a general framework (computable metric spaces, computable measures and functions) where this problem can be posed precisely. We consider…

What does it mean for an algorithm to be fair? Different papers use different notions of algorithmic fairness, and although these appear internally consistent, they also seem mutually incompatible. We present a mathematical setting in which…

We consider the numbers of positive and negative eigenvalues of matrices of squared distances between randomly sampled i.i.d. points in a given metric measure space. These numbers and their limits, as the number of points grows, in fact…

We prove that continuous reducibility is a well-quasi-order on the class of continuous functions between separable metrizable spaces with analytic zero-dimensional domain. To achieve this, we define scattered functions, which generalize…

We provide methods to validate and compare sensor outputs, or inference algorithms applied to sensor data, by adapting statistical scoring rules. The reported output should either be in the form of a prediction interval or of a parameter…

"An invariant of metric spaces under bornologous equivalences" gives an invariant and "A coarse invariant" extends the invariant to coarse equivalences. In both papers the invariant is defined for a class of metric spaces called sigma…

Though many safety-critical software systems use floating point to represent real-world input and output, programmers usually have idealized versions in mind that compute with real numbers. Significant deviations from the ideal can cause…

Classification systems are evaluated in a countless number of papers. However, we find that evaluation practice is often nebulous. Frequently, metrics are selected without arguments, and blurry terminology invites misconceptions. For…

We characterize measure spaces such that the canonical map $L_\infty \to L_1^*$ is surjective. In case of $d$ dimensional Hausdorff measure of a complete separable metric space $X$ we give two equivalent conditions. One is in terms of the…

How can one meaningfully make a measurement, if the meter does not conform to any standard and its scale expands or shrinks depending on what is measured? In the present work it is argued that current evaluation practices for…

Finding separable certificates of stability is important for tractability of analysis methods for large-scale networked systems. In this paper we consider the question of when a nonlinear system which is contracting, i.e. all solutions are…

Scoring rules are an important tool for evaluating the performance of probabilistic forecasting schemes. In the binary case, scoring rules (which are strictly proper) allow for a decomposition into terms related to the resolution and to the…
