Valuations defined by Ostrowski nets

Ostrowski proved that if v is a valuation on an algebraically closed field F and if w is a valuation extending v to the field F (x) of rational functions over F, then w is defined by a transcendental pseudo-convergent net (that is, an Ostrowski net) or w is a Rella extension of v centered about x − c for some c in F. In this paper, valuations on the field of rational functions over an arbitrary field determined by Ostrowski nets, along with the topologies they generate, are investigated.     

Topological properties defined by nets

Nets are used to generalize a result of Murtinová and to define and study a class of properties related to sequential compactness.     

Fuzzy measure of fuzzy events defined by fuzzy integrals

We define the concept of fuzzy measure of a fuzzy event by using a general form of fuzzy integral proposed by Murofushi, called fuzzy t-conorm integral, encompassing previous definitions. Zadeh defined the probability measure of a fuzzy event, and later the possibility measure of fuzzy event. Using a duality property of fuzzy t-conorm integral, we propose a general definition of fuzzy measure of fuzzy events, which is compatible with previous definitions of Zadeh, and possesses all properties of a fuzzy measure, in particular the duality property. Using our definition, we examine the case of decomposable measures and belief functions. A comparison with previous works is provided.     

A new compactness type topological property

By a gauge on a topological space we shall mean a mapping that assigns each element in the space an open neighbourhood. We investigate some topological properties which can be characterized using gauges. The main property we will consider is the gauge compactness. Some problems and possible future work are listed at the end of the paper.     

Fuzzy topological spaces and fuzzy compactness

It is the purpose of this paper to go somewhat deeper into the structure of fuzzy topological spaces. In doing so we found we had to alter the definition of a fuzzy topology used up to now. We shall also introduce two functors $\text{}\text{?}$gw and $\text{}\text{?}$gi which will allow us to see more clearly the connection between fuzzy topological spaces and topological spaces. Finally we shall introduce the concept of fuzzy compactness as the generalization of compactness in topology. It will be shown in a following publication that contrary to the results obtained up to now, the Tychonoff-product theorem is safeguarded with fuzzy compactness.     

Almost compactness in fuzzy topological spaces

We introduce and study almost compactness for fuzzy topological spaces. We show that the almost continuous image of an almost compact fuzzy topological space is almost compact. Moreover, we show that generally almost compactness for fuzzy topological spaces is not product-invariant, but if X and Y are almost fuzzy topological spaces and X is product related to Y, then their fuzzy topological product is almost compact.     

A comparison of different compactness notions in fuzzy topological spaces

Starting from a defining differential equation $\text{(}\text{?}\text{?t}\text{) W(λ, t, u) = (}\text{λ(u ? t)}\text{p(t)}\text{) W(λ, t, u)}$ of the kernel of an exponential operator $\text{S}{}_{\mathrm{\lambda }}\text{(?, t) = ∫}{}_{\mathrm{?\infty }}{}^{\mathrm{\infty }}\text{W(λ, t, u)?(u) du}$ with normalization ∫_?∞^∞W(λ, t, u) du = 1, we determine S_λ for various p(t) including; for example, p(t) a quadratic polynomial, all the known exponential operators are recovered and some new ones are constructed. It is shown that all the exponential operators are approximation operators. Further approximation properties of these operators are discussed. For example, functions satisfying $\text{∥ S}{}_{\mathrm{\lambda }}\text{(?, t) ? ?(t)∥ = O(λ}{}^{\mathrm{?\alpha }}\text{)}$ are characterized. Several results of C. P. May are also improved.     

A theorem on sequentiality and compactness, with its fuzzy extension

An amended proof of a theorem of Franklin's on sequentiality and sequential compactness is presented, and a corresponding fuzzy version formulated using the theory of quasi-coincidence.     

Sequential compactness for sets of sugeno fuzzy measures

Pointwise sequential compactness for families of Sugeno measures is studied and a sufficient condition is proved for the equivalence between equiabsolute continuity, uniform order continuity and sequential compactness. A group-valued measure interpretation for λ-additive fuzzy measures is also showed.     

O-convergence of fuzzy nets and its applications

In this paper, an O-convergence theory of fuzzy nets is built in L-topological spaces by means of neighborhoods of fuzzy points. It has many nice properties. It can be used to characterize the closed set, open set, T₂ separation axiom and fuzzy compactness.     

Sequence spaces of fuzzy real numbers defined by Orlicz functions

In this article we study different properties of convergent, null and bounded sequence spaces of fuzzy real numbers defined by an Orlicz function, like completeness, solidness, symmetricity, convergence free etc. We prove some inclusion results, too. The work of the first author was carried under University Grants Commission of India project No.-F. No. 30-240/2004 (RS).     

Some new results on weak compactness

We consider the scattering problem in Lsu2$\text{Rsu3}$ for Schrödinger operators with momentum-dependent interactions, i.e., for the pair of Hamiltonians H₀ = ? Δ and H = H₀ + T, where T is a pseudodifferential operator. The existence of the wave operators is proved by estimating the integrals appearing in the CookHack convergence criterion, and their asymptotic completeness is established under more restrictive conditions on the symbol of T by using a local trace criterion.     

A new correctness criterion for multiplicative non-commutative proof nets

 We introduce a new correctness criterion for multiplicative non commutative proof nets which can be considered as the non-commutative counterpart to the Danos-Regnier criterion for proof nets of linear logic. The main intuition relies on the fact that any switching for a proof net (obtained by mutilating one premise of each disjunction link) can be naturally viewed as a series-parallel order variety (a cyclic relation) on the conclusions of the proof net.

A new class of generalized close-to-starlike functions defined by the Srivastava-Attiya operator

In this paper, we consider a new class CS*s,b of generalized close-to-starlike functions, which is defined by means of the Srivastava-Attiya operator Js,b involving the Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function Φ(z, s, a). Basic results such as inclusion relations, coefficient inequalities and other interesting properties of this class are investigated. Relevant connections of some of the results presented here with those that were obtained in earlier investigations are pointed out briefly.     

Some new sequence spaces defined by lacunary sequences

It is natural to expect that lacunary almost convergence must be related to the some concept of lacunary almost bounded variations in the some view as almost convergence is related to almost bounded variation. The purpose of this paper is to examine this new concept in some details. Some inclusion theorems have been established. Communicated by Pavel Kostyrko
