We discuss the problems of incompleteness and inexpressibility. We introduce almost self-referential formulas, use them to extend set theory, and relate their expressive power to that of infinitary logic. We discuss the nature of proper…

The Expansion property considered by researchers in Social Choice is shown to correspond to a logical property of nonmonotonic consequence relations that is the {\em pure}, i.e., not involving connectives, version of a previously known weak…

In this paper we initiate the study of real operator monotonicity for functions of tuples of operators, which are multivariate structured maps with a functional calculus called free functions that preserve the order between real parts (or…

For an indeterminate moment problem we denote the orthonormal polynomials by P_n. We study the relation between the growth of the function P(z)=(\sum_{n=0}^\infty|P_n(z)|^2)^{1/2} and summability properties of the sequence (P_n(z)). Under…

We exhibit an algorithm to solve the following extension problem: Given a finite set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and a function $f: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, compute an extension $F$ in the Sobolev space $L^{m,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $p>n$, with…

The notion of bounded expansion captures uniform sparsity of graph classes and renders various algorithmic problems that are hard in general tractable. In particular, the model-checking problem for first-order logic is fixed-parameter…

The main result of this paper is a proof of the continuity of a family of integral functionals defined on the space of functions of bounded variation with respect to a topology under which smooth functions are dense. These functionals occur…

We characterize when the level sets of a continuous quasi-monotone functional defined on a suitable convex subset of a normed space can be uniquely represented by a family of bounded continuous functionals. Furthermore, we investigate how…

We show that Boolean functions expressible as monotone disjunctive normal forms are PAC-evolvable under a uniform distribution on the Boolean cube if the hypothesis size is allowed to remain fixed. We further show that this result is…

Ultrafunctions are a particular class of functions defined on a Non Archimedean field E. They have been introduced and studied in some previous works. In this paper we develop the notion of fine ultrafunctions which improves the older…

Consider a multiplicative function f(n) taking values on the unit circle. Is it possible that the partial sums of this function are bounded? We show that if we weaken the notion of multiplicativity so that f(pn)=f(p)f(n) for all primes p in…

We consider the resolvent of a system of first order differential operators with a regular singularity, admitting a family of self-adjoint extensions. We find that the asymptotic expansion for the resolvent in the general case presents…

Via a family of monotone scalar functions, a preorder on a set is extended to its power set and then used to construct a hull operator and a corresponing complete lattice of sets. A function mappping into the preordered set is extended to a…

Given a compact of ${\bf R}^n$, there is always a doubling measure having it as its support. We use this fact to construct an integral operator that extends differentiable functions defined on any compact set of ${\bf R}^n$ to the whole of…

We compare possibilities of extension of bounded and unbounded Baire-one functions from subspaces of topological spaces.

We study product sets of finite arithmetic progressions of polynomials over a finite field. We prove a lower bound for the size of the product set, uniform in a wide range of parameters. We apply our results to resolve the function field…

We consider conditions for the convergence of sequences in terms of positive and alternating Perron expansions ($P$-representation and $P^-$-representation). These conditions are crucial to determine the continuity of functions that are…

The main result of the paper is a flat extension theorem for positive linear functionals on *-algebras. The theorem is applied to truncated moment problems on cylinder sets, on matrices of polynomials and on enveloping algebras of Lie…

In this paper, we study the continuity of expected utility functions, and derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a weak order on the space of simple probabilities to have a continuous expected utility function. We also verify that…

For an arbitrary partially ordered set $P$ its {\em dual} $P^*$ is built as the collection of all monotone mappings $P\to\2$ where $\2=\{0,1\}$ with $0<1$. The set of mappings $P^*$ is proved to be a complete lattice with respect to the…
