A possibility measure is not a fuzzy measure

In this note we show that a possibility measure is not a particular type of fuzzy measure, except in trivial cases.     

Characteristic functional of a probability measure absolutely continuous with respect to a Gaussian Radon measure

Let μ and μ₁ be probability measures on a locally convex Hausdorff real topological linear space E. C. R. Baker (Lecture Notes in Mathematics No. 109, pp. 33–44, Springer-Verlag, Berlin/New York, 1979) posed the problem of characterizing the absolute continuity of μ and μ₁ by their characteristic functionals. The aim of this paper is to give an answer to this problem in the case where μ is a Gaussian Radon measure. A Fourier transform shall be defined, the inversion formula established, and then a necessary and sufficient condition given for μ₁ to be absolutely continuous with respect to μ based on the characteristic functional. As applications, for the convolution $\text{μ}{}_1\text{= μ1v}$, where v is a Radon measure on E, we shall give some concrete sufficient conditions on v for $\text{μ1v ? μ}$.     

Statistical convergence and measure convergence generated by a single statistical measure

The purpose of this paper is to discuss those kinds of statistical convergence,in terms of filter F,or ideal L-convergence,which are equivalent to measure convergence defined by a single statistical measure.We prove a number of characterizations of a single statistical measure μ-convergence by using properties of its corresponding quotient Banach space l_∞/l_∞(I_μ).We also show that the usual sequential convergence is not equivalent to a single measure convergence.     

Absolute continuity of a vector-valued measure

The necessary and sufficient condition is proved for absolute continuity of a vector-valued measure in the sense of Bartle.     

Construction of a singular elliptic-harmonic measure

The authors study an example, suggested by E. De Giorgi, of a second-order uniformly elliptic partial differential operator in divergence form with continuous coefficients on a smooth domain in the plane such that the associated harmonic measure on the boundary is not absolutely continuous with respect to the ordinary surface measure.     

Summability in of a vector measure

We show a picture of the relations among different types of summability of series in the space  of integrable functions with respect to a vector measure m of relatively norm compact range. In order to do that, we study the class of the so‐called m‐1‐summing operators. We give several applications regarding the existence of copies of c ₀ in , as well as on m‐1‐summing operators which are weakly compact, Asplund or weakly precompact.     

The range of a vector measure

Let X be a completely regular Hausdorff space and E be a locally convex Hausdorff space. Then C_b(X) ? E is dense in (C_b(X, E), β₀), (C_b(X), β) ?_?E = (C_b(X) ? E, β) and (C_b(X), β₁) ?_?E = (C_b(X) ? E, β₁). For a separable space E, (C_b(X, E), β₀) is separable if and only if X is separably submetrizable. As a corollary, for a locally compact paracompact space X, if (C_b(X, E), β₀) is separable, then X is metrizable.     

The Hilbert transform of a measure

Let e be a homogeneous subset of ℝ in the sense of Carleson. Let μ be a finite positive measure on ℝ and H _μ(x) its Hilbert transform. We prove that if lim _t→∞ t|e∩{x ‖H _μ(x)| > t}| = 0, then μ _s (e) = 0, where μ_s is the singular part of μ.

The packing measure of a general subordinator

Summary Precise conditions are obtained for the packing measure of an arbitrary subordinator to be zero, positive and finite, or infinite. It develops that the packing measure problem for a subordinatorX(t) is equivalent to the upper local growth problem forY(t)=min (Y ₁ (t), Y ₂ (t)), whereY ₁ andY ₂ are independent copies ofX. A finite and positive packing measure is possible for subordinators close to Cauchy; for such a subordinator there is non-random concave upwards function that exactly describes the upper local growth ofY (although, as is well known, there is no such function for the subordinatorX itself).Research supported in part by NSF under contracts (1) DMS 87-01866, and (2) DMS 87-01212     

Encroaching lists as a measure of presortedness

Encroaching lists are a generalization of monotone sequences in permutations. Since ordered permutations contain fewer encroaching lists than random ones, the number of such listsm provides a measure of presortedness with advantages over others in the literature. Experimental and analytic results are presented to cast light on the properties of encroaching lists. Also, we describe a new sorting algorithm,melsort, with complexityO(nlogm). Thus it is linear for well ordered sets and reduces to mergesort andO(nlogn) in the worst case.This work was partially supported by National Science Foundation Grant CCSR-8714565.     

On the spectra of a Cantor measure

We analyze all orthonormal bases of exponentials on the Cantor set defined by Jorgensen and Pedersen in J. Anal. Math. 75 (1998) 185-228. A complete characterization for all maximal sets of orthogonal exponentials is obtained by establishing a one-to-one correspondence with the spectral labelings of the infinite binary tree. With the help of this characterization we obtain a sufficient condition for a spectral labeling to generate a spectrum (an orthonormal basis). This result not only provides us an easy and efficient way to construct various of new spectra for the Cantor measure but also extends many previous results in the literature. In fact, most known examples of orthonormal bases of exponentials correspond to spectral labelings satisfying this sufficient condition. We also obtain two new conditions for a labeling tree to generate a spectrum when other digits (digits not necessarily in {0,1,2,3}) are used in the base 4 expansion of integers and when bad branches are allowed in the spectral labeling. These new conditions yield new examples of spectra and in particular lead to a surprizing example which shows that a maximal set of orthogonal exponentials is not necessarily an orthonormal basis.
