Structural properties are given for $D(K)$, the Banach algebra of (complex) differences of bounded semi-continuous functons on a metric space $K$. For example, it is proved that if all finite derived sets of $K$ are non-empty, then a…
It is proved that every function of finite Baire index on a separable metric space $K$ is a $D$-function, i.e., a difference of bounded semi-continuous functions on $K$. In fact it is a strong $D$-function, meaning it can be approximated…
We generalize some classical results about quasicontinuous and separately continuous functions with values in metrizable spaces to functions with values in certain generalized metric spaces, called Maslyuchenko spaces. We establish…
Some aspects of basic category theory are developed in a finitely complete category $\C$, endowed with two factorization systems which determine the same discrete objects and are linked by a simple reciprocal stability law. Resting on this…
The aim of this paper is to introduce and study the concept of a contra-semicontinuous function and further investigate the class of strongly $S$-closed spaces. We obtain some new decompositions of generalized continuous functions.
Let $\Gamma$ be a Polish space and let $K$ be a separable and pointwise compact set of real-valued functions on $\Gamma$. It is shown that if each function in $K$ has only countably many discontinuities then $C(K)$ may be equipped with a…
We study two equivalent characterizations of the strong Feller property for a Markov process and of the associated sub-Markovian semigroup. One is described in terms of locally uniform absolute continuity, whereas the other uses local…
First, we give the definition for quasi-nearly subharmonic functions, now for general, not necessarily nonnegative functions, unlike previously. We point out that our function class incudes, among others, quasisubharmonic functions, nearly…
The K function and its related statistics have been an enduring tool in the analysis of spatial point processes, providing an easy to compute and interpret summary statistic for characterising the interactions between points of one type, or…
We address a classical open question by H.Brezis and R.Ignat concerning the characterization of constant functions through double integrals that involve difference quotients. Our first result is a counterexample to the question in its full…
We study functional stochastic differential equations with a locally unbounded, functional drift focusing on well-posedness, stability and the strong Feller property. Following the non-functional case, we only consider integrability…
Intrinsic location functional is a large class of random locations containing locations that one may encounter in many cases, e.g., the location of the path supremum/infimum over a given interval, the first/last hitting time, etc. It has…
We introduce a real-parameter refinement of the classical integer hierarchies underlying Schmidt number, block-positivity, and $k$-positivity for maps between matrix algebras. Starting from a compact family of $\alpha$-admissible unit…
In this paper we give a characterization of all order isomorphisms on some classes of convex functions. We deal with the class $Cvx(K)$ consisting of lower-semi-continuous convex functions defined on a convex set $K$, and its subclass…
Generalized topological spaces in the sense of Cs\'{a}sz\'{a}r have two main features which distinguish them from typical topologies. First, these families of subsets are not closed under intersections. Second, we allow for the possibility…
The Bishop property ($\symbishop$), introduced recently by K.P. Hart, T. Kochanek and the first-named author, was motivated by Pe{\l}czy{\'n}ski's classical work on weakly compact operators on $C(K)$-spaces. This property asserts that…
A central notion of physics is the rate of change. While mathematically the concept of derivative represents an idealization of the linear growth, power law types of non-linearities even in noiseless physical signals cause derivative…
A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is called {\em compact-preserving} if the image $f(K)$ of each compact subset $K\subset X$ is compact. We prove that a function $f:X\to Y$ defined on a strong Frechet space $X$ is…
This paper is dedicated to the introduction in a circle of ideas and methods, which are connected with the notion of characteristic function of a non-selfadjoint operator. We start with the consideration of closed and open systems…
This paper aims to initialize a dynamical aspect of symbolic integration by studying stability problems in differential fields. We present some basic properties of stable elementary functions and D-finite power series that enable us to…
