First Alexandroff Decomposition Theorem for Topological Lattice Group Valued Measures

Let (X, F) be an Alexandroff space, let A(F) be the Boolean subalgebra of 2 ^X generated by F, let G be a Hausdorff commutative topological lattice group and let rba_F(A(F), G) denote the set of all order bounded F-inner regular finitely additive set functions from A(F) into G. Using some special properties of the elements of rba_F(A(F), G), we extend to this setting the first decomposition theorem of Alexandroff.     

Lipschitz Kernel of a Closed Set-Valued Map

This paper deals with Lipschitz selections of set-valued maps with closed graphs. First, we characterize Lipschitzianity of a closed set-valued map in the differential games framework in terms of a discriminating property of its graph. This allows us to consider the -Lipschitz kernel of a given set-valued map as the largest -Lipschitz closed set-valued map contained in the initial one, to derive an algorithm to compute the collection of Lipschitz selections, and to extend the Pasch–Hausdorff envelope to set-valued maps.     

A Five-term Exact Sequence for Opext of Crossed Modules in Lie Algebras

Extensions of crossed modules in Lie algebras with abelian kernel are studied, particularly backward and forward induced extensions and related properties. The set Opext((U, Q, ), (R, K, )) of congruence classes of extensions of (R, K, ) by (U, Q, ) is endowed with a K-vector space structure. This K-vector space appears in a five-term natural and exact sequence associated with an extension of crossed modules.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 17B56, 17B99, 18G99     

Growth of InN films and nanorods by H-MOVPE

InN films and nanorods were grown by hydride metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (H-MOVPE) and the effects of growth temperature, and NH₃/TMIn and HCl/TMIn ratios on morphological dependences were studied. The growth habit of InN varied from thin film to microrod to nanorod to no deposition as the growth conditions were changed about transition from growth to etching conditions. The growth and etch regimes were also predicted by chemical equilibrium calculations of In–C–H–Cl–N-inert system. The optical properties of InN nanorods and columnar structured films were measured by room temperature PL and a maximum intensity was observed at 1.08 eV for both structures.     

Abstract Volterra operators

We propose a new general definition of Volterra operators. Several types of evolutionary operators, including Volterra ones in the sense of A.N. Tikhonov, satisfy this definition. For equations with generalized Volterra operators we introduce the notions of local, global, and maximally extended solutions. For solutions to nonlinear equations we formulate the existence, uniqueness, and extendability conditions. The theorems proved in this paper imply both known and new results on the solvability of concrete equations. We adduce an example of the application of obtained results to the study of the Cauchy problem for functional differential equations.     

Track Extensions of Categories and Cohomology

We introduce the notion of n-fold track extensions of a category C by a natural system D and prove that such extensions represent classes in the cohomology of C with coefficients in D introduced by Baues–Wirsching. This generalizes a result of Huebschmann on the cohomology of groups.     

A unifying approach to integration for bounded positive charges

This paper deals with n-monotone functionals, which constitute a generalisation of n-monotone set functions. Using the notion of exactness of a functional, we introduce a new notion of lower and upper integral which subsumes as particular cases most of the approaches to integration in the literature. As a consequence, we can characterise which types of integrals can be used to calculate the natural extension (the lower envelope of all linear extensions) of a positive bounded charge.

Ample fields as a basis for possibilistic processes

Ample fields play an important role in possibility theory. These fields of subsets of a universe, which are additionally closed under arbitrary unions, act as the natural domains for possibility measures. A set provided with an ample field is then called an ample space. In this paper we generalise Wang's notions of product ample field and product ample space. We make a topological study of ample spaces and their products, and introduce ample subspaces, extensions and one-point extensions of ample spaces. In this way, a first step towards a mathematical theory of possibilistic processes is made.
