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 ...

In this paper we prove that every proper convex and lower semicontinuous functional de ned on a real re exive Banach space X is semicoercive if and only if every small uniform perturbation of attains its minimum value on X.

Let R be an o-minimal field with a proper convex subring V . We axiomatize the class of all structures (R, V ) such that kind, the corresponding residue field with structure induced from R via the residue map, is o-minimal. More precisely, in [8] it was shown that certain first order conditions on (R, V ) are sufficient for the o-minimality of kind. Here we prove that these conditions are also ...

A new guideline for proper allocation of multipoles in the multiple multipole method (MMP) is proposed. In an ‘a posteriori’ approach, subspace fitting (SSF) is used to find the best location of multipole expansions for the two dimensional dielectric scattering problem. It is shown that the best location of multipole expansions (regarding their global approximating power) coincides with the med...
