This is one in a series of papers devoted to the foundations of Symplectic Field Theory sketched in [EGH]. We prove compactness results for moduli spaces of holomorphic curves arising in Symplectic Field Theory. The theorems generalize Gromov's compactness theorem in [Gr] as well as compactness theorems in Floer homology theory, [F1, F2], and in contact geometry, [H, HWZ8].

In this paper, the new concept of near PS-compactness in L-topological spaces is introduced. It is defined for any L-subset. Its characterizations and topological properties are systematically studied. And the relationship is exposed between near PScompactness and PS-compactness, and also fuzzy compactness. 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

We show that the Arzelà–Ascoli theorem and Kolmogorov compactness theorem both are consequences of a simple lemma on compactness in metric spaces. Their relation to Helly’s theorem is discussed. The paper contains a detailed discussion on the historical background of the Kolmogorov compactness theorem.

We define branch product topologies, a new product construction. Branch product topologies generalize sum topologies and product topologies. We investigate criteria for branch products or iterations of branch products to preserve various topological properties, focusing on the separation axioms and compactness. In particular, we generalize the Tychonoff Theorems for compactness and D-compactness.

The authors consider non-autonomous dynamical behavior of wave-type evolutionary equations with nonlinear damping and critical nonlinearity. These type of wave equations are formulated as continuous non-autonomous dynamical systems (cocycles). A sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of pullback attractors is established. The required compactness for the existence of pullback attr...

In this paper, we obtain an axiomatic characterization of Lowen's fuzzy compactness. KeywordsMathematics, fuzzy sets, Topology, Lowen's compactness, operators.

In this paper we study a class of integral functionals defined on H 0 (Ω), but non coercive on the same space, so that the standard approach of the Calculus of Variations does not work. However, the functionals are coercive on W 1,1 0 (Ω) and we will prove the existence of minima, despite the non reflexivity of W 1,1 0 (Ω), which implies that, in general, the Direct Methods fail due to lack of ...

Let X and Y be non-empty sets, E a field of subsets of X, and F a field of subsets of Y. Then, every uniformly autocontinuous indirect product of two non-additive measures on E and onF is continuous on the product field generated by E andF whenever is continuous and is compact. A similar result holds for the compactness of indirect product measures. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
