It is well known that every point of the closed unit interval I can be expressed as the midpoint of two points of the Cantor ternary set D. See [2, p. 549] and [3, p. 105]. Regarding J as a one dimensional compact convex set, it seems natural to try to generalize the above result to higher dimensional convex sets. We prove in section 3 that every convex polytope K in Euclidean space Rd contains a topological copy C of D such that each point of K is expressible as a midpoint of two points of C. Also, we give necessary and sufficient conditions on a planar compact convex set for it to contain a copy of D with the midpoint property above. In the final section we prove a result on minimal midpoint sets.

We study an analogue of Garkavi's result on proximinal subspaces ofC(X)of finite codimension in the context of the spaceA(K)of affine continuous functions on a compact convex setK. We give an example to show that a simple-minded analogue of Garkavi's result fails for these spaces. WhenKis a metrizable Choquet simplex, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a boundary measure to attain its norm onA(K). We also exhibit proximinal subspaces of finite codimension ofA(K)when the measures are supported on a compact subset of the extreme boundary.

Formal Statement

In this paper, we are concerned with establishing a characterization of any compact, convex set K in a normed space A in an arbitrary topos with natural number object. The characterization is geometric, not in the sense of categorical logic, but in the intuitive one, of describing any compact, convex set K in terms of simpler sets in the normed space A. It is a characterization of the compact, convex set in the sense that it provides a necessary and sufficient condition for an element of the normed space to lie within it. Having said this, we should immediately qualify our statement by stressing that this is the intuitive content of what is proved; the formal statement of the characterization is required to be in terms appropriate to the constructive context of the techniques used.

AbstractThe main result of this paper offers a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an additive selection of a weakly compact convex set-valued map defined on an amenable semigroup. As an application, we obtain characterisations of the solutions of several functional inequalities, including that of quasi-additive functions.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj> 0 for eachj> 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.

The study of the differential-algebraic boundary value problems, traditional for the Kiev school of nonlinear oscillations, founded by academicians M.M. Krylov, M.M. Bogolyubov, Yu.A. Mitropolsky and A.M. Samoilenko. It was founded in the 19th century in the works of G. Kirchhoff and K. Weierstrass and developed in the 20th century by M.M. Luzin, F.R. Gantmacher, A.M. Tikhonov, A. Rutkas, Yu.D. Shlapac, S.L. Campbell, L.R. Petzold, Yu.E. Boyarintsev, V.F. Chistyakov, A.M. Samoilenko, O.A. Boichuk, V.P. Yacovets, C.W. Gear and others. In the works of S.L. Campbell, L.R. Petzold, Yu.E. Boyarintsev, V.F. Chistyakov, A.M. Samoilenko and V.P. Yakovets were obtained sufficient conditions for the reducibility of the linear differential-algebraic system to the central canonical form and the structure of the general solution of the degenerate linear system was obtained. Assuming that the conditions for the reducibility of the linear differential-algebraic system to the central canonical form were satisfied, O.A.~Boichuk obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear Noetherian differential-algebraic boundary value problem and constructed a generalized Green operator of this problem. Based on this, later O.A. Boichuk and O.O. Pokutnyi obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the weakly nonlinear differential algebraic boundary value problem, the linear part of which is a Noetherian differential algebraic boundary value problem. Thus, out of the scope of the research, the cases of dependence of the desired solution on an arbitrary continuous function were left, which are typical for the linear differential-algebraic system. Our article is devoted to the study of just such a case. The article uses the original necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear Noetherian differential-algebraic boundary value problem and the construction of the generalized Green operator of this problem, constructed by S.M. Chuiko. Based on this, necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the weakly nonlinear differential-algebraic boundary value problem were obtained. A typical feature of the obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear and weakly nonlinear differential-algebraic boundary-value problem is its dependence on the means of fixing of the arbitrary continuous function. An improved classification and a convergent iterative scheme for finding approximations to the solutions of weakly nonlinear differential algebraic boundary value problems was constructed in the article.
