Recently a class of generalized information measures was defined on sets of items parametrized by submodular functions. In this paper, we propose and study various notions of independence between sets with respect to such information…
We open a new field on how one can define means on infinite sets. We investigate many different ways on how such means can be constructed. One method is based on sequences of ideals, other deals with accumulation points, one uses isolated…
Let $Y$ be a nonnegative random variable with mean $\mu$ and finite positive variance $\sigma^2$, and let $Y^s$, defined on the same space as $Y$, have the $Y$ size biased distribution, that is, the distribution characterized by…
We study measures defined on effect algebras. We characterize real-valued measures on effect algebras and find a class of effect algebras, that include the natural effect algebras of sets, on which sigma-additive measures with values in a…
We give an elementary proof of the known fact that every probability measure, defined on an arbitrary $\sigma$-field on a countable sample space $\Omega$, may in fact be extended to a probability measure on the power set of $\Omega$. This…
One method to determine whether or not a system of partial differential equations is consistent is to attempt to construct a solution using merely the "algebraic data" associated to the system. In technical terms, this translates to the…
We introduce the notion of ideally supported achievement sets for a series of real numbers. We analize their complexity and topological properties. We compare the notion of ideal achievement sets with the notion of ideally supported sum…
We study the general moment problem for measures on the real line, with polynomials replaced by more general spaces of entire functions. As a particular case, we describe measures that are uniquely determined by a restriction of their…
The strong unique continuation property for Einstein metrics can be concluded from the well-known fact that Einstein metrics are analytic in geodesic normal coordinates. Here we give a proof of the same result that given two Einstein…
A general construction for $\sigma-$finite absolutely continuous invariant measure will be presented. It will be shown that the local bounded distortion of the Radon-Nykodym derivatives of $f^n_*(\lambda)$ will imply the existence of a…
In this paper we give a detailed measure theoretical analysis of what we call sum-level sets for regular continued fraction expansions. The first main result is to settle a recent conjecture of Fiala and Kleban, which asserts that the…
Given a closed orientable surface (\Sigma) of genus at least two, we establish an affine isomorphism between the convex compact set of isotopy-invariant topological measures on (\Sigma) and the convex compact set of additive functions on…
In this paper we introduce the notion of elementary numerosity as a special function defined on all subsets of a given set X which takes values in a suitable non-Archimedean field, and satisfies the same formal properties of finite…
The role of consistent measures in the rigorous construction of nonabelian lattice theories is analized. General conditions that measures must fulfill to insure consistency, positivity and a mass gap are obtained. The impact of nongeneric…
In 1950 Maharam asked whether every disintegration of a $\sigma$-finite measure into $\sigma$-finite measures is necessarily uniformly $\sigma$-finite. Over the years under special conditions on the disintegration, the answer was shown to…
We study the properties of the set where a generalized function of bounded variation has infinite approximate limit, highlighting in this way the main geometric difference with functions of bounded variation. To this aim we prove a new…
We prove that there is a structure, indeed a linear ordering, whose degree spectrum is the set of all non-hyperarithmetic degrees. We also show that degree spectra can distinguish measure from category.
We show that the following are consistent with ZFC: 1. Strongly meager sets form an ideal with the same additivity as the ideal of meager sets. 2. There exists a strong measure zero set of size > d (dominating number).
For a finite and positive measure space $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ and any weakly compact convex subset of $L\sp\infty(\Omega,\Sigma,mu)$, a fixed point theorem for a class of nonexpansive self-mappings is proved. An analogous result is obtained…
We give a characterization of equilibrium measures for $p$-capacities on the boundary of an infinite tree of arbitrary (finite) local degree. For $p=2$, this provides, in the special case of trees, a converse to a theorem of Benjamini and…
