The paper gives a brief account of the spaces of interval functions defined through the concepts of H-continuity, D-continuity and S-continuity. All three continuity concepts generalize the usual concept of continuity for real (point…
Semiclassical mechanics of systems with first-class constraints is developed. Starting from the quantum theory, one investigates such objects as semiclassical states and observables, semiclassical inner product, semiclassical gauge…
In a doubling metric measure space $(X,\rho,\mu)$ supporting a Poincar\'e inequality, we give a new characterisation of first-order Sobolev spaces by mean oscillations, and extend previous characterisations of constant functions in terms of…
The $K$-function is arguably the most important functional summary statistic for spatial point processes. It is used extensively for goodness-of-fit testing and in connection with minimum contrast estimation for parametric spatial point…
For discrete spectrum of 1D second-order differential/difference operators (with or without potential (killing), with the maximal/minimal domain), a pair of unified dual criteria are presented in terms of two explicit measures and the…
Recently, interesting empirical phenomena known as Neural Collapse have been observed during the final phase of training deep neural networks for classification tasks. We examine this issue when the feature dimension d is equal to the…
Upper semicontinuous (usc) functions arise in the analysis of maximization problems, distributionally robust optimization, and function identification, which includes many problems of nonparametric statistics. We establish that every usc…
Kechris and Louveau showed that each real-valued bounded Baire class 1 function defined on a compact metric space can be written as an alternating sum of a decreasing countable transfinite sequence of upper semi-continuous functions.…
We prove that a (globally) subanalytic p-adic function which is locally Lipschitz continuous with some constant C is piecewise (globally on each piece) Lipschitz continuous with possibly some other constant, where the pieces can be taken…
Three different characterizations of one-component bounded analytic functions are provided. The first one is related to the the inner-outer factorization, the second one is in terms of the size of the reproducing kernels in the…
The purpose of this work is the development and determination of higher-order continuum-like kinematic measures which characterize discrete kinematic data obtained from experimental measurement (e.g., digital image correlation) or kinematic…
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…
Kostyrko and Salat showed that if a linear space of bounded functions has an element that is discontinuous almost everywhere, then a typical element in the space is discontinuous almost everywhere. We give a topological analogue of this…
We give a local characterization of the class of functions having positive distributional derivative with respect to $\bar{z}$ that are almost everywhere equal to one of finitely many analytic functions and satisfy some mild non-degeneracy…
The first part of this article is a brief survey of the properties of so-called almost interior points in ordered Banach spaces. Those vectors can be seen as a generalization of ``functions which are strictly positive almost everywhere'' on…
Minimizing a smooth function f on a closed subset C leads to different notions of stationarity: Fr{\'e}chet stationarity, which carries a strong variational meaning, and criticality, which is defined through a closure process and involves…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a difference of convex (DC, for short) functions, defined on a locally convex space, to be Lipschitz continuous. Our criterion relies on the intersections of the "epsilon-subdifferentials of…
Functions with uniform level sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used, e.g., in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…
Given a regular Dirichlet form $(\mathcal{E},\mathcal{F})$ on a fixed domain $E$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$, we first indicate that the basic assumption $C_c^\infty(E)\subset \mathcal{F}$ is equivalent to the fact that each coordinate function…
We show that we can approximate every function $f\in C^{k}(\bar{B_1})$ with a $s$-harmonic function in $B_1$ that vanishes outside a compact set. That is, $s$-harmonic functions are dense in $C^{k}_{\rm{loc}}$. This result is clearly in…
