We have studied the concept of bipolarity of information in the soft sets. We have defined bipolar soft sets and basic operations of union, intersection and complementation for bipolar soft sets. Examples of bipolar soft sets and an…

Interestingness is an important criterion by which we judge knowledge discovery. But, interestingness has escaped all attempts to capture its intuitive meaning into a concise and comprehensive form. A unifying paradigm is formulated by…

A polarity notion for sets in a Banach space is introduced in such a way that the second polar of a set coincides with the smallest strongly convex set with respect to R that contains it. Strongly convex sets are characterized in terms of…

Functions with uniform sublevel sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…

Within the framework of mappings between affine spaces, the notion of $n$-th polarization of a function will lead to an intrinsic characterization of polynomial functions. We prove that the characteristic features of derivations, such as…

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…

We prove that the set of points where a subharmonic function fails to be continuous is polar.

The present article is an extended version of [6] containing new results and an updated list of references. We review the notion of polar analyticity introduced in a previous paper and succesfully applied in Mellin analysis and quadrature…

We introduce a new integral invariant for isometric actions of compact Lie groups, the copolarity. Roughly speaking, it measures how far from being polar the action is. We generalize some results about polar actions in this context. In…

The associativity property, usually defined for binary functions, can be generalized to functions of a given fixed arity n>=1 as well as to functions of multiple arities. In this paper, we investigate these two generalizations in the case…

We provide a pointwise bipolar theorem for liminf-closed convex sets of positive Borel measurable functions on a sigma-compact metric space without the assumption that the polar is a tight set of measures. As applications we derive a…

In a work by Artstein-Avidan and Milman the concept of polarity is generalized from the class of convex bodies to the larger class of convex functions. While the only self-polar convex body is the Euclidean ball, it turns out that there are…

We explore the relationship between convex and subharmonic functions on discrete sets. Our principal concern is to determine the setting in which a convex function is necessarily subharmonic. We initially consider the primary notions of…

We prove that every bounded finely plurisubharmonic function can be locally (in the pluri-fine topology) written as the difference of two usual plurisubharmonic functions. As a consequence finely plurisubharmonic functions are continuous…

Garret Birkhoff observed that any binary relation between two sets determines a Galois connection between the powersets, or equivalently, closure operators on the powersets, or equivalently, complete lattices of subsets that are dually…

Let L be a bounded distributive lattice. We give several characterizations of those L^n --> L mappings that are polynomial functions, i.e., functions which can be obtained from projections and constant functions using binary joins and…

Similarity metric which is not positive definite, and present a general theorem which provides a large family of similarity metrics which are positive definite.

Structures based on polarities have been used to provide relational semantics for propositional logics that are modelled algebraically by non-distributive lattices with additional operators. This article develops a first order notion of…

Unimodularity is localized to a complete stationary type, and its properties are analysed. Some variants of unimodularity for definable and type-definable sets are introduced, and the relationship between these different notions is studied.…

In this paper, we first show that a union of upper-level sets associated to fibrewise Lelong numbers of plurisubharmonic functions is in general a pluripolar subset. Then we obtain analyticity theorems for a union of sub-level sets…
