Strong Statistical Convergence in Probabilistic Metric Spaces

Abstract

In this article, we introduce the concepts of strongly statistically convergent sequence and strong statistically Cauchy sequence in a probabilistic metric (PM) space endowed with the strong topology, and establish some basic facts. Next, we define the strong statistical limit points and the strong statistical cluster points of a sequence in this space and investigate the relations between these concepts.     

TVS-锥度量空间中的统计收敛

本文研究TVS-锥度量空间中的统计收敛以及TVS-锥度量空间的统计完备性.令（X，E，P，d）表示一个TVS-锥度量空间.利用定义在有序Hausdorff拓扑向量空间E上的Minkowski函数ρ，证明了在X上存在一个通常意义下的度量d_ρ，使得X中的序列（x_n）在锥度量d意义下统计收敛到x ∈ X，当且仅当（x_n）在度量d_ρ意义下统计收敛到x.基于此，我们证明了任意一个TVS-锥统计Cauchy序列是几乎处处TVS-锥Cauchy序列，还证明了任意一个TVS-锥统计收敛的序列是几乎处处TVS-锥收敛的.从而，TVS-锥度量空间（X，d）是d-完备的，当且仅当它是d-统计完备的.基于以上结论，通常度量空间中统计收敛的许多性质都可以平行地推广到锥度量空间中统计收敛的情形.     

A study of boundedness in probabilistic normed spaces

It was shown in Lafuerza-Guillén, Rodríguez-Lallena and Sempi (1999) [8] that uniform boundedness in a Šerstnev PN space (V,ν,τ,τ^∗), (named boundedness in the present setting) of a subset A⊂V with respect to the strong topology is equivalent to the fact that the probabilistic radius R_A of A is an element of D⁺. Here we extend the equivalence just mentioned to a larger class of PN spaces, namely those PN spaces that are topological vector spaces (briefly TV spaces), but are not Šerstnev PN spaces.We present a characterization of those PN spaces, whether they are TV spaces or not, in which the equivalence holds. Then, a characterization of the Archimedeanity of triangle functions τ^∗ of type τ_T,L is given. This work is a partial solution to a problem of comparing the concepts of distributional boundedness (D-bounded in short) and that of boundedness in the sense of associated strong topology.     

Statistical Cluster Points of Sequences in Finite Dimensional Spaces

In this paper we study the set of statistical cluster points of sequences in m-dimensional spaces. We show that some properties of the set of statistical cluster points of the real number sequences remain in force for the sequences in m-dimensional spaces too. We also define a notion of -statistical convergence. A sequence xis -statistically convergent to a set Cif Cis a minimal closed set such that for every > 0 the set has density zero. It is shown that every statistically bounded sequence is -statistically convergent. Moreover if a sequence is -statistically convergent then the limit set is a set of statistical cluster points.     

Statistical Limit Superior and Limit Inferior

Following the concept of statistical convergence and statistical cluster points of a sequence , we give a definition of statistical limit superior and inferior which yields natural relationships among these ideas: e.g., is statistically convergent if and only if . The statistical core of is also introduced, for which an analogue of Knopp's Core Theorem is proved. Also, it is proved that a bounded sequence that is -summable to its statistical limit superior is statistically convergent.

     

The number of pancyclic arcs in a k‐strong tournament

A tournament is a digraph, where there is precisely one arc between every pair of distinct vertices. An arc is pancyclic in a digraph D, if it belongs to a cycle of length l, for all 3 ≤ l ≤ |V (D) |. Let p(D) denote the number of pancyclic arcs in a digraph D and let h(D) denote the maximum number of pancyclic arcs belonging to the same Hamilton cycle of D. Note that p(D) ≥ h(D). Moon showed that h(T) ≥ 3 for all strong non‐trivial tournaments, T, and Havet showed that h(T) ≥ 5 for all 2‐strong tournaments T. We will show that if T is a k‐strong tournament, with k ≥ 2, then p(T) ≥ 1/2, nk and h(T) ≥ (k + 5)/2. This solves a conjecture by Havet, stating that there exists a constant α_k, such that p(T) ≥ α_k n, for all k‐strong tournaments, T, with k ≥ 2. Furthermore, the second results gives support for the conjecture h(T) ≥ 2k + 1, which was also stated by Havet. The previously best‐known bounds when k ≥ 2 were p(T) ≥ 2k + 3 and h(T) ≥ 5. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory     

Matrix characterization of A-statistical convergence

The main objective of the paper is to characterize multipliers of summability fields of regular methods, while relaxing the usual boundedness condition. For this purpose we use the sequence spaces of A-bounded sequences and A-uniformly integrable sequences. Among the main results, it is shown that the space of multipliers is closely related to the space of A-statistically convergent sequences and that A-statistical convergence over ?_∞ is equivalent to a regular matrix method. This observation eliminates the need for separate proofs of several A-statistical convergence results.     

Banach and Statistical Cores of Bounded Sequences

In this paper, we are mainly concerned with characterizing matrices that map every bounded sequence into one whose Banach core is a subset of the statistical core of the original sequence.     

Some ℵ0-bounded subsets of stone-čech compactifications

We characterize the maximalm-bounded extension of an arbitrary completely regular Hausdorff spaceX. The other principal results are:Theorem. LetX be a locally compact, σ-compact non-compact space with no more than 2^ℵ0 zero-sets. Then assuming the continuum hypothesis,βX − X can be written as the union of 2^2ℵ0 pairwise disjoint, dense ℵ₀-bounded subspaces.Theorem. LetX be a locally compact, σ-compact metric space without isolated points. Then both the set of remote points ofβX and the complement of this set inβX −X are ℵ₀-bounded.     

Hadwiger number and chromatic number for near regular degree sequences

We consider a problem related to Hadwiger's Conjecture. Let D=(d₁, d₂, …, d_n) be a graphic sequence with 0?d₁?d₂?···?d_n?n?1. Any simple graph G with D its degree sequence is called a realization of D. Let R[D] denote the set of all realizations of D. Define h(D)=max{h(G): G∈R[D]} and χ(D)=max{χ(G): G∈R[D]}, where h(G) and χ(G) are Hadwiger number and chromatic number of a graph G, respectively. Hadwiger's Conjecture implies that h(D)?χ(D). In this paper, we establish the above inequality for near regular degree sequences. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 64: 175–183, 2010     

A survey of Skolem-type sequences and Rosa’s use of them

Let D be a set of positive integers. A Skolem-type sequence is a sequence of i ∈ D such that every i ∈ D appears exactly twice in the sequence at positions a _i and b _i , and |b _i − a _i | = i. These sequences might contain empty positions, which are filled with null elements. Thoralf A. Skolem defined and studied Skolem sequences in order to generate solutions to Heffter’s difference problems. Later, Skolem sequences were generalized in many ways to suit constructions of different combinatorial designs. Alexander Rosa made the use of these generalizations into a fine art. Here we give a survey of Skolem-type sequences and their applications. Supported by an NSERC Graduate fellowship. This work is in partial fulfillment of an M.Sc.     

Fenchel Duality and the Strong Conical Hull Intersection Property

We study a special dual form of a convex minimization problem in a Hilbert space, which is formally suggested by Fenchel dualityand is useful for the Dykstra algorithm. For this special duality problem, we prove that strong duality holds if and only if the collection of underlying constraint sets {C ₁,...,C _m} has the strong conical hull intersection property. That is,

Two properties of sequence of vector measures on effect algebras

Let (L,⊕,0,1) be an effect algebra and let X be a Banach space. A function μ : L → X is called a vector measure if μ(a ⊕ b) = μ(a) + μ(b) whenever a⊥b in L. The function μ is said to be s-bounded if lim n→∞μ(a n ) = 0 in X for any orthogonal sequence (a n ) n∈N in L. In this paper, we introduce two properties of sequence of s-bounded vector measures and give some results on these properties.     

Hamiltonian threshold for strong products of graphs

We prove that the strong product of any at least non‐trivial connected graphs of maximum degree at most Δ is pancyclic. The obtained result is asymptotically best possible since the strong product of ?(ln 2)D? stars K_1,D is not even hamiltonian. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 58: 314–328, 2008     

G-frames and g-frame sequences in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we first determine the relations among the best bounds A and B of the g-frame, the g-frame operator S and the pre-frame operator Q and give a necessary and sufficient condition for a g-frame with bounds A and B in a complex Hilbert space. We also introduce the definition of a g-frame sequence and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a g-frame sequence with bounds A and B in a complex Hilbert space. Lastly, we consider the stability of a g-frame sequence for a complex Hilbert space under perturbation.     

Sequence spaces and inverse of an infinite matrix

We give here some properties of the sets _α(uΔ) generalizing the space of generalized difference sequencesl ^∞(uΔ). Then we study spaces related to the sets of sequences that are strongly convergent or strongly bounded. Next we define from the sets of spaces that are (N,q) summable or bounded the sets of spaces that are (N,q)α-bounded orr-bounded. Then we give some properties of these spaces using Banach space of the forms _α.     

Strongly 1-Bounded Von Neumann Algebras

Suppose F is a finite tuple of selfadjoint elements in a tracial von Neumann algebra M. For α > 0, F is α-bounded if where is the free packing α-entropy of F introduced in [J3]. M is said to be strongly 1-bounded if M has a 1-bounded finite tuple of selfadjoint generators F such that there exists an with . It is shown that if M is strongly 1-bounded, then any finite tuple of selfadjoint generators G for M is 1-bounded and δ₀(G) ≤ 1; consequently, a strongly 1-bounded von Neumann algebra is not isomorphic to an interpolated free group factor and δ₀ is an invariant for these algebras. Examples of strongly 1-bounded von Neumann algebras include (separable) II ₁-factors which have property Γ, have Cartan subalgebras, are non-prime, or the group von Neumann algebras of . If M and N are strongly 1-bounded and M ∩ N is diffuse, then the von Neumann algebra generated by M and N is strongly 1-bounded. In particular, a free product of two strongly 1-bounded von Neumann algebras with amalgamation over a common, diffuse von Neumann subalgebra is strongly 1-bounded. It is also shown that a II ₁-factor generated by the normalizer of a strongly 1-bounded von Neumann subalgebra is strongly 1-bounded.

On the Space bvp（F） of Sequences of p-bounded Variation of Fuzzy Numbers

Recently, the space bvp of real or complex numbers consisting of all sequences whose differences are in the space lp has been studied by Basar, Altay [Ukrainian Math. J. 55（1）（2003）, 136-147], where 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. The main purpose of the present paper is to introduce the space bvp（F） of sequences of p-bounded variation of fuzzy numbers. Moreover, it is proved that the space bvp（F） includes the space lp（F） and also shown that the spaces bvp（F） and lp（F） axe isomorphic for 1 ≤ p ≤∞. Furthermore, some inclusion relations have been given.     

Convergence of Weighted Sums and Laws of Large Numbers in D([0,1]; E)

Convergence properties of weighted sums of functions in D([0, 1]; E) (E a Banach space) are investigated. We show that convergence in the Skorokhod J₁-topology of a sequence (x_n) in D([0, 1]; E) does not imply convergence of a sequence ( _n) of averages. Convergence in the J₁-topology of a sequence ( _n) of averages is shown, under the growth condition x_n ∞ = o(n), to be equivalent to the convergence of ( _n) in the uniform topology. Convergence of a sequence (x_n,) is shown to imply convergence of the sequence ( _n) of averages in the M₁ and M₂ topologies. The strong law of large numbers in D[0, 1] is considered and an example is constructed to show that different definitions of the strong law of large numbers are nonequivalent.     

Summability and vector amarts

We show that an operator is absolutely summing if and only if it maps amarts into uniform amarts, from which we can deduce a theorem of A. Bellow and another of Edgar-Sucheston. We also show that the absolute value of a Banach lattice valued potential is a potential if and only if the lattice is an A-M space from which we deduce that the L¹-bounded amarts form a Ricsz space if and only if the space is finite dimensional.
