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…

One of the most important issues for the frequent special functions is the uniqueness conditions of such functions. As far as we know, there are no characterizations for the floor, ceiling, and fractional part functions in general (as real…

In this paper we obtain several new complete characterizations of pseudolinear functions. Two of the results are of first-order and one is derivative free. All results are derived in terms of the Clarke-Rockafellar subdifferential.…

We introduce $p$-adic Kummer spaces of continuous functions on $\mathbb{Z}_p$ that satisfy certain Kummer type congruences. We will classify these spaces and show their properties, for instance, ring properties and certain decompositions.…

We introduce the concept of sos-convex Lyapunov functions for stability analysis of both linear and nonlinear difference inclusions (also known as discrete-time switched systems). These are polynomial Lyapunov functions that have an…

Any constructive continuous function must have a gradually varied approximation in compact space. However, the refinement of domain for $\sigma-$-net might be very small. Keeping the original discretization (square or triangulation), can we…

In this paper, we investigate the roles of compact sets in the space of tempered distributions $\mathscr{S}^{\prime}$. The key notion is "k-spaces", which constitute a fairly general class of topological spaces. In a k-space, the system of…
