We discuss some problems posed by Ciesielski. For example we show that, consistently, d_c is a singular cardinal and e_c<d_c. Next we prove that the Martin Axiom for sigma --centered forcing notions implies that for every function f:R^2…

A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is called $\sigma$-$continuous$ (resp. $\bar\sigma$-$continuous$) if there exists a (closed) cover $\{X_n\}_{n\in\omega}$ of $X$ such that for every $n\in\omega$ the restriction…

If $f(x,y)$ is a real function satisfying $y>0$ and $\sum_{r=0}^{n-1}f(x+ry,ny)=f(x,y)$ for $n=1,2,3,\ldots$, we say that $f(x,y)$ is an invariant function. Many special functions including Bernoulli polynomials, Gamma function and Hurwitz…

Given sets $X,Y$ and a regular cardinal $\mu$, let $\Phi(X,Y,\mu)$ be the statement that for any function $f : X \times Y \to \mu$, there are functions $g_1 : X \to \mu$ and $g_2 : Y \to \mu$ such that or all $(x,y) \in X \times Y$,…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a function $f:[0,1]\to {0,1,2,...,\omega,\continuum}$ under which there exists a continuous function $F:[0,1]\to [0,1]$ such that for every $y\in[0,1]$ we have $|F^{-1}(y)|=f(y)$.

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,…

Let lambda be aleph_0 or a strong limit of cofinality aleph_0. Suppose that (G_m,p_{m,n}:m =< n<omega) and (H_m,p^t_{m,n}: m=< n < omega) are projective systems of groups of cardinality less than lambda and suppose that for every n<omega…

It is shown that harmonic functions from a simply connected domain in R^3 to R^3 cannot always be expressed as a sum of a monogenic (hyperholomorphic) function and an antimonogenic function, in contrast to the situation for complex numbers…

Let $\mathbb{F}\subset \mathbb{K}$ be fields with characteristic zero, $n$ be a positive integer and $\kappa\in \mathbb{K}$. In this paper, we determine those monomials $f\colon \mathbb{F}\to \mathbb{K}$ of degree $n$ for which \[ f(x^{2})=…

Given a bounded open set $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, we study sequences of quadratic functionals on the Sobolev space $H^1_0(\Omega)$, perturbed by sequences of bounded linear functionals. We prove that their $\Gamma$-limits, in the weak…

Let $N\in\mathbb{N}$ and $u$ be a weak solution of equation $\displaystyle Lu\equiv - \sum_{i,j=1}^{N}\frac{\partial}{\partial x_{j}}(\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_{i}}b^{ij})= f$ in $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{N}$. We obtain functions $G$…

In this note, we continue to highlight some applications of Theorem 1 of [3]. Here is a sample: Let $X$ be an open set in ${\bf C}^n$, $\Omega$ an open convex set in ${\bf C}$ and $f, g : X\to {\bf C}$ two holomorphic functions such that…

Let $X$ be a locally compact topological space, $(Y,d)$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $LB(X,Y)$ be the space of all locally bounded functions from $X$ to $Y$. We characterize compact sets in $LB(X,Y)$ equipped with the topology of…

We first consider a question raised by Alexander Eremenko and show that if $\Omega $ is an arbitrary connected open cone in ${\mathbb R}^d$, then any two positive harmonic functions in $\Omega $ that vanish on $\partial \Omega $ must be…

Let $f$ be a function on a bounded domain $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ and $\delta$ be a positive function on $\Omega$ such that $B(x,\delta(x))\subseteq \Omega$. Let $\sigma(f)(x)$ be the average of $f$ over the ball $B(x,\delta(x))$.…

A function of two variables F(x,y)is universal iff for every other function G(x,y) there exists functions h(x) and k(y) with G(x,y) = F(h(x),k(y)) Sierpinski showed that assuming the continuum hypothesis there exists a Borel function F(x,y)…

In the paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a function involving a ratio of gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. This extends and generalizes the main result in [\emph{Inequalities and…

We show that there is always a uniformly antisymmetric f:A-> {0,1} if A subset R is countable. We prove that the continuum hypothesis is equivalent to the statement that there is an f:R-> omega with |S_x| <= 1 for every x in R. If the…

We will prove that there exists a model of ZFC+``c= omega_2'' in which every M subseteq R of cardinality less than continuum c is meager, and such that for every X subseteq R of cardinality c there exists a continuous function f:R-> R with…
