چکیده

Cardinal invariants concerning functions whose sum is almost continuous. Abstract Let A stand for the class of all almost continuous functions from R to R and let A(A) be the smallest cardinality of a family F ⊆ R R for which there is no g: R → R with the property that f + g ∈ A for all f ∈ F. We define cardinal number A(D) for the class D of all real functions with the Darboux property similarly. It is known, that c < A(A) ≤ 2 c [10]. We will generalize this result by showing that the cofinality of A(A) is greater that c. Moreover, we will show that it is pretty much all that can be said about A(A) in ZFC, by showing that A(A) can be equal to any regular cardinal between c + and 2 c and that it can be equal to 2 c independently of the cofinality of 2 c. This solves a problem of T. Natkaniec [10, Problem 6.1, p. 495]. We will also show that A(D) = A(A) and give a combinato-rial characterization of this number. This solves another problem of Natkaniec. (Private communication.) We want to thank Juris Steprans for many helpful conversations.

Cardinal Invariants concerning Bounded Families of Extendable and Almost Continuous Functions

In this paper we introduce and examine a cardinal invariant Ab closely connected to the addition of bounded functions from R to R. It is analogous to the invariant A defined earlier for arbitrary functions by T. Natkaniec. In particular, it is proved that each bounded function can be written as the sum of two bounded almost continuous functions, and an example is given that there is a bounded f...

The main goal of this paper is to generalize several results concerning cardinal invariants to the statements about the associated families of sets. We also discuss the relationship between the additive properties of sets and their Borel images. Finally, we present estimates for the size of the smallest set which is not strongly meager.

Non-Abelian Seiberg-Witten invariants is investigated with massless Topolog-ical QCD where monopole is extended to non-Abelian groups version. We found that vacuum expectation value can be separated into a part from Donaldson theory , a part from Abelian Monopole theory and a part from non-Abelian monopole theory. This is achieved by a non-standard regularization. As a result of this regulariza...

INCLUSION RELATIONS CONCERNING WEAKLY ALMOST PERIODIC FUNCTIONS AND FUNCTIONS VANISHING AT INFINITY

We consider the space of weakly almost periodic functions on a transformation semigroup (S, X , ?) and show that if X is a locally compact noncompact uniform space, and ? is a separately continuous, separately proper, and equicontinuous action of S on X, then every continuous function on X, vanishing at infinity is weakly almost periodic. We also use a number of diverse examples to show ...
