Functors on the category of quasi-fibrations

We consider the following questions: when can we extend a continuous endofunctor on Top the category of topological spaces to a fibrewise continuous endofunctor on Top(2) the category of continuous maps? If this is true, does such fibrewise continuous endofunctor preserve fibrations? In this paper, we define Fib the topological category of cell-wise trivial fibre spaces over polyhedra and show that any continuous endofunctor on Top induces a fibrewise continuous endofunctor on Fib preserving the class of quasi-fibrations.     

Random commutation

We investigate the commutation between a continuous linear random operator and a continuous linear deterministic operator on a Banach space. From this we obtain probabilistic versions of theorems by Fuglede and Putnam, both of them dealing with the commutation between continuous linear operators with continuous normal operators on a Hilbert space.     

Continuous functions with impermeable graphs

We construct a Hölder continuous function on the unit interval which coincides in uncountably (in fact continuum) many points with every function of total variation smaller than 1 passing through the origin. We conclude that this function has impermeable graph—one of the key concepts introduced in this paper—and we present further examples of functions both with permeable and impermeable graphs. Moreover, we show that typical (in the sense of Baire category) continuous functions have permeable graphs. The first example function is subsequently used to construct an example of a continuous function on the plane which is intrinsically Lipschitz continuous on the complement of the graph of a Hölder continuous function with impermeable graph, but which is not Lipschitz continuous on the plane. As another main result, we construct a continuous function on the unit interval which coincides in a set of Hausdorff dimension 1 with every function of total variation smaller than 1 which passes through the origin.     

Continuous Essential Selections and Integral Functionals

Given a strictly positive measure, we characterize inner semicontinuous solid convex-valued mappings for which continuous functions which are selections almost everywhere are selections. This class contains continuous mappings as well as fully lower semicontinuous closed convex-valued mappings that arise in variational analysis and optimization of integral functionals. The characterization allows for extending existing results on convex conjugates of integral functionals on continuous functions. We also give an application to integral functionals on left continuous functions of bounded variation.     

Preference orders and continuous representations

In this paper we prove some general theorems on the existence of continuous order-preserving functions on topological spaces with a continuous preorder. We use the concepts of network and netweight to prove new continuous representation theorems and we establish our main results for topological spaces that are countable unions of subspaces. Some results in the literature on path-connected, locally connected and separably connected spaces are shown to be consequences of the general theorems proved in the paper. Finally, we prove a continuous representation theorem for hereditarily separable spaces.     

Specification of topological spaces by algebraic systems of continuous functions

This survey presents results on specification of topological spaces by various algebraic structures of continuous functions. Results are presented on specification of E-compact spaces by general structures of continuous functions, on specification of spaces by rings of continuous functions and the systems associated with them, and on specifications of spaces by lattices of open sets and semigroups of continuous transformations. Methods from the theory are illustrated by examples.Translated from Itogi Nauki i Tekhniki, Seriya Algebra, Topologiya, Geometriya, Vol. 28, pp. 3–46, 1990.     

On the supports of absolutely continuous Gauss measures on connected Lie groups

The behaviour of the supports of an absolutely continuous Gauss semigroup on certain Lie groups is discussed. It is shown that on a connected nilpotent Lie group any absolutely continuous Gauss semigroup has full supports but on compact connected Lie groups which are not Abelian there exist absolutely continuous Gauss semigroups which do not have common supports.     

Quasivarieties of Metric Algebras

We introduce concepts of a continuous family of quasi-identities and of a continuous quasivariety. For continuous quasivarieties, a characterization theorem and an analog of the Birkhoff theorem on subdirect decomposition are proved. Also we point out the way of constructing examples of continuous quasivarieties and furnish the characterization of a relative congruence lattice of systems in the quasivarieties in question. Lastly, we re-prove the Hahn–Banach theorem on extension of a linear functional.     

Continuous Accumulation Games in Continuous Regions

In a continuous accumulation game on a continuous region, a Hider distributes material over a continuous region at each instant of discrete time, and a Seeker examines the region. If the Seeker locates any of the material hidden, the Seeker confiscates it. The goal of the Hider is to accumulate a certain amount of material before a given time, and the goal of the Seeker is to prevent this. In previous works, we have studied accumulation games involving discrete objects and continuous material over discrete locations. The issues raised when the region is continuous are substantially different. In this paper, we study accumulation of continuous material over two types of continuous regions: the interval and the circle.     

A new continuous model for multiple re-entrant manufacturing systems

The semiconductor manufacturing systems that involve a large number of products and many steps can be modeled through conservation laws for a continuous density variable on production processes. In this paper, the basic partial differential equation (PDE) models for single-product re-entrant manufacturing systems are proposed first. However, through the validation of numerical examples, the basic continuous models do not perform well for single-product re-entrant systems. Then, a new state equation that takes into account the re-entrant degree of a product is introduced to improve the basic continuous models. The applicability of the modified continuous model is illustrated through numerical examples. The influence of the influx variation on the outflux is also discussed. With the changes of influx, the outflux has a reverse phenomenon. Based on the new state equation, the continuous model for multi-product re-entrant systems with different priorities is established, and an example is provided to illustrate the applicability of the new continuous model.     

CONTINUITY OF THE ONE-SIDED BEST UNIFORM APPROXIMATION OPERATOR

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to relate the continuity and selection properties of the one-sided best uniform approximation operator to similar properties of the metric projection. Let M be a closed subspace of C(T) which contains constants. Then the one-sided best uniform approximation operator is Hausdorff continuous (resp. Lipschitz continuous) on C(T) if and only if the metric projection P_M is Haudorff continuous (resp. Lipschitz continuous) on C(T). Also, the metric projection P_M admits a continuous (resp. Lipschitz continuous) selection if and only if the one-sided best uniform approximation operator admits a continuous (resp. Lipschitz continuous) selection.     

Selezioni continue o misurabili

We give a characterization of set-valued mappings from a topological (measure) space into the class of real non-empty intervals admitting a continuous (measurable) selection. As an application we obtain a characterization of set-valued functions defined on IR ⁿ admitting an approximately continuous or an approximately continuous and almost everywhere continuous selection.

On some variational principles in mechanics of continuous media : PMM vol. 37, n6, 1973, pp. 963–973

Some problems of the analytical mechanics of continuous media are considered. The kinematc constraints, restricting the motion of elements of a continuous medium are separated into internal and external constraints; the internal surface stresses in a continuous medium are treated as reactive forces of the internal constraints. Since the work of these latter on possible displacements of elements of the continuous medium is not zero in the general case, then the internal constraints in a continuous medium should be referred to the category of nonideal constraints. The general equation of the dynamics of a continuous medium expressing the d'Alembert-Lagrange variational principle and including all the dynamic laws is examined. The work of the internal surface stresses in this equation can be given by using the first and second laws of thermodynamics, whereupon the general equation of the dynamics of continuous media can be represented in two other forms. Furthermore, an extension of the Gauss and Chetaev principles to continuous media is given.     

Operator-Valued Continuous Gabor Transforms over Non-unimodular Locally Compact Groups

In this article, we present the abstract harmonic analysis aspects of the operator-valued continuous Gabor transform (CGT) on second countable, non-unimodular, and type I locally compact groups. We show that the operator-valued continuous Gabor transform CGT satisfies a Plancherel formula and an inversion formula. As an example, we study these results on the continuous affine group.     

Dixmier's theorem for sequentially order continuous Baire measures on compact spaces

We prove that a Baire measure (or a regular Borel measure) on a compact Hausdorff space is sequentially order continuous as a linear functional on the Banach space of all continuous functions if and only if it vanishes on meager Baire subsets, a result parallel to a much earlier theorem of Dixmier. We also give some results on the relation between sequentially order continuous measures on compact spaces and countably additive measures on Boolean algebras.

     

Pure point diffraction and cut and project schemes for measures: the smooth case

We present a cut and project formalism based on measures and continuous weight functions of sufficiently fast decay. The emerging measures are strongly almost periodic. The corresponding dynamical systems are compact groups and homomorphic images of the underlying torus. In particular, they are strictly ergodic with pure point spectrum and continuous eigenfunctions. Their diffraction can be calculated explicitly. Our results cover and extend corresponding earlier results on dense Dirac combs and continuous weight functions with compact support. They also mark a clear difference in terms of factor maps between the case of continuous and non-continuous weight functions. Dedicated to Robert V. Moody on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

Order representability in groups and vector spaces

In the present paper, first we study in a systematic way the numerical representation problem for total preorders defined either on groups or on real vector spaces. Then, we consider groups and real vector spaces equipped with a topology, and analyze the fulfillment of the so-called continuous representability property; the latter meaning that every continuous total preorder defined on the given topological space admits a continuous real-valued order-preserving function. We also explore the analogous cases as above for total preorders that are compatible with the given algebraic structure, looking for real-valued, continuous or not, order-preserving functions that, in addition, are algebraic homomorphisms.
