In this paper we continue the study of interconnections between separately continuous function which was started by V. K. Maslyuchenko. A pair (g, h) of functions on a topological space is called a pair of Hahn if g ≤ h, g is an upper semicontinuous function and h is a lower semicontinuous function. We say that a pair of Hahn (g, h) is generated by a function f, which depends on two variables, if the infimum of f and the supremum of f with respect to the second variable equals g and h respectively. We prove that for any perfectly normal space X and non-pseudocompact space Y every pair of Hahn on X is generated by a continuous function on X x Y . We also obtain that for any perfectly normal space X and for any space Y having non-scattered compactification any pair of Hahn on X is generated by a separately continuous function on X x Y .

AbstractWe explore the cardinality of generalised inverse limits. Among other things, we show that, for any $n\in \{ℵ_{0},c,1,2,3,\dots \}$, there is an upper semicontinuous function with the inverse limit having exactly $n$ points. We also prove that if $f$ is an upper semicontinuous function whose graph is a continuum, then the cardinality of the corresponding inverse limit is either 1, $ℵ_{0}$ or $c$. This generalises the recent result of I. Banič and J. Kennedy, which claims that the same is true in the case where the graph is an arc.

We generalize the Poletsky disc envelope formula for the function $\sup \{u\in \mathcal{PSH}(X,\omega); u\leq \phi\}$ on any complex manifold $X$ to the case where the real $(1,1)$-current $\omega=\omega_1-\omega_2$ is the difference of two positive closed $(1,1)$-currents and $\varphi$ is the difference of an $\omega_1$-upper semicontinuous function and a plurisubharmonic function.

AbstractLet μ be a finite positive Borel measure on the closed unit disc . For each a in , put where ƒ ranges over all analytic polynomials with f(a) = 1. This upper semicontinuous function S(a) is called a Riesz's function and studied in detail. Moreover several applications are given to weighted Bergman and Hardy spaces.

We show that the sum of the first k Lyapunov exponents of linear cocycles is an upper semicontinuous function in the Lp topologies, for any 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ and k. This fact, together with a result from Arnold and Cong, implies that the Lyapunov exponents of the Lp-generic cocycle, p < ∞, are all equal.

In this paper, we develop the probabilistic foundations of the dynamic continuous choice problem. The underlying choice set is a compact metric space E such as the unit interval or the unit square. At each time point t, utilities for alternatives are given by a random function . To achieve a model of dynamic continuous choice, the theory of classical vector-valued extremal processes is extended to super-extremal processes Y = {Yt, t &gt; 0}. At any t &gt; 0, Y t is a random upper semicontinuous function on a locally compact, separable, metric space E. General path properties of Y are discussed and it is shown that Y is Markov with state-space US(E). For each t &gt; 0, Y t is associated. For a compact metric E, we consider the argmax process M = {Mt, t &gt; 0}, where . In the dynamic continuous choice application, the argmax process M represents the evolution of the set of random utility maximizing alternatives. M is a closed set-valued random process, and its path properties are investigated.

Reconstructions of asymmetric objects computed by electron tomography are distorted due to the absence of information, usually in an angular range from 60 to 90°, which produces a “missing wedge” in Fourier space. These distortions often interfere with the interpretation of results and thus limit biological ultrastructural information which can be obtained. We have attempted to use the Method of Projections Onto Convex Sets (POCS) for restoring the missing information. In POCS, use is made of the fact that known constraints such as positivity, spatial boundedness or an upper energy bound define convex sets in function space. Enforcement of such constraints takes place by iterating a sequence of function-space projections, starting from the original reconstruction, onto the convex sets, until a function in the intersection of all sets is found. First applications of this technique in the field of electron microscopy have been promising.To test POCS on experimental data, we have artificially reduced the range of an existing projection set of a selectively stained Golgi apparatus from ±60° to ±50°, and computed the reconstruction from the reduced set (51 projections). The specimen was prepared from a bull frog spinal ganglion as described by Lindsey and Ellisman and imaged in the high-voltage electron microscope.

Abstract Finite-order weights have been introduced in recent years to describe the often occurring situation that multivariate integrands can be approximated by a sum of functions each depending only on a small subset of the variables. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the danger of relying on this structure when designing lattice integration rules, if the true integrand has components lying outside the assumed finiteorder function space. It does this by proving, for weights of order two, the existence of 3-dimensional lattice integration rules for which the worst case error is of order O(N¯½), where N is the number of points, yet for which there exists a smooth 3- dimensional integrand for which the integration rule does not converge.
