Lifting paths on quotient spaces

2009

Abstract Let X be a compactum and G an upper semi-continuous decomposition of X such that each element of G is the continuous image of an ordered compactum. If the quotient space X / G is the continuous image of an ordered compactum, under what conditions is X also the continuous image of an ordered compactum? Examples around the (non-metric) Hahn–Mazurkiewicz Theorem show that one must place severe conditions on G if one wishes to obtain positive results. We prove that the compactum X is the image of an ordered compactum when each g ∈ G has 0-dimensional boundary. We also consider the case when G has only countably many non-degenerate elements. These results extend earlier work of the firs…

On norm attaining polynomials

2003

We show that for every Banach space X the set of 2-homogeneous continuous polynomials whose canonical extension to X∗∗ attain their norm is a dense subset of the space of all 2-homogeneous continuous polynomials P(2X).

Spaces of typen on partially ordered sets

1989

This paper contains a generalized approach to incidence geometry on partially ordered sets. A difference to the usual geometrical concepts is that points may have different size. Our main result states that a large class of spaces allows lattice theoretic characterizations. Especially, a generalized version of the Veblen-Young axiom of projective geometry has a lattice theoretic equivalent, called then-generation property (which is a generalization of the ‘Verbindungssatz’). Modularity and distributivity of a lattice of subspaces are reflected in the underlying space. Finally we give specializations and examples.

Integer Complexity: Experimental and Analytical Results II

2015

We consider representing natural numbers by expressions using only 1’s, addition, multiplication and parentheses. Let \( \left\| n \right\| \) denote the minimum number of 1’s in the expressions representing \(n\). The logarithmic complexity \( \left\| n \right\| _{\log } \) is defined to be \({ \left\| n \right\| }/{\log _3 n}\). The values of \( \left\| n \right\| _{\log } \) are located in the segment \([3, 4.755]\), but almost nothing is known with certainty about the structure of this “spectrum” (are the values dense somewhere in the segment?, etc.). We establish a connection between this problem and another difficult problem: the seemingly “almost random” behaviour of digits in the ba…

Parabolic Equations Minimizing Linear Growth Functionals: L1-Theory

2004

Let Ω be a bounded set in ℝN with boundary of class C1. We are interested in the problem $$ \left\{ \begin{gathered} \frac{{\partial u}} {{\partial t}} = diva\left( {x,Du} \right)in Q = \left( {0,\infty } \right) \times \Omega , \hfill \\ u\left( {t,x} \right) = \phi \left( x \right)on S = \left( {0,\infty } \right) \times \partial \Omega , \hfill \\ u\left( {0,x} \right) = u_0 \left( x \right)in x \in \Omega \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right. $$ (1) where ϕ ∈ L1(∂Ω), u0 ∈ L2(Ω) and a(x, ξ) = ∇ξ f(x, ξ, f being a function with linear growth in ‖ξ‖ as ‖ξ‖ → ∞. One of the classical examples is the nonparametric area integrand for which \( f(x,\xi ) = \sqrt {1 + \left\| \xi \right\|^2 } \). Prob…

On Some Properties of the Dirichlet Problem at Resonance

2008

Abstract The boundary value problem at resonance 𝑥″ + 𝑥 = 𝑞 sin 𝑡 + 𝑓(𝑡,𝑥,𝑥′), 𝑥(0) = 0, 𝑥(π) = 0, is considered, where 𝑓 : [0,π] × 𝑹2 → 𝑹 is a bounded Carathéodory function, 𝑞 is a parameter. We state the multiplicity results without assuming that 𝑓 has limits.

Correspondences Between 2-Brauer Characters of Solvable Groups

2010

Let G be a finite solvable group and let p be a prime. Let P ∈ Syl p (G) and N = N G (P). We prove that there exists a natural bijection between the 2-Brauer irreducible characters of p′-degree of G and those of N G (P).
