Compact reduction in Lipschitz-free spaces

We prove a general principle satisfied by weakly precompact sets of Lipschitz-free spaces. By this principle, certain infinite dimensional phenomena in Lipschitz-free spaces over general metric spaces may be reduced to the same phenomena in free spaces over their compact subsets. As easy consequences we derive several new and some known results. The main new results are: $\mathcal {F}(X)$ is weakly sequentially complete for every superreflexive Banach space $X$, and $\mathcal {F}(M)$ has the Schur property and the approximation property for every scattered complete metric space $M$.

Non-bifurcation of critical periods from semi-hyperbolic polycycles of quadratic centres

In this paper we consider the unfolding of saddle-node \[ X= \frac{1}{xU_a(x,y)}\Big(x(x^{\mu}-\varepsilon)\partial_x-V_a(x)y\partial_y\Big), \] parametrized by $(\varepsilon,\,a)$ with $\varepsilon \approx 0$ and $a$ in an open subset $A$ of $ {\mathbb {R}}^{\alpha },$ and we study the Dulac time $\mathcal {T}(s;\varepsilon,\,a)$ of one of its hyperbolic sectors. We prove (theorem 1.1) that the derivative $\partial _s\mathcal {T}(s;\varepsilon,\,a)$ tends to $-\infty$ as $(s,\,\varepsilon )\to (0^{+},\,0)$ uniformly on compact subsets of $A.$ This result is addressed to study the bifurcation of critical periods in the Loud's family of quadratic centres. In this regard we show (theorem 1.2) that no bifurcation occurs from certain semi-hyperbolic polycycles.

On Star-K-I-Hurewicz Property

A space X is said to have the star-K-I-Hurewicz property (SKIH) [Tyagi, B. K.—Singh, S.—Bhardwaj, M. Ideal analogues of some variants of Hurewicz property, Filomat 33 (2019), no. 9, 2725–2734] if for each sequence (Un : n ∈ ℕ) of open covers of X there is a sequence (Kn : n ∈ ℕ) of compact subsets of X such that for each x ∈ X, {n ∈ ℕ : x ∉ St(Kn, Un )} ∈ I, where I is the proper admissible ideal of ℕ. In this paper, we continue to investigate the relationship between the SKIH property and other related properties and study the topological properties of the SKIH property.

ON THE BOUNDARY BEHAVIOUR OF FRIDMAN INVARIANTS

We prove that the Fridman invariant defined using the Carathéodory pseudodistance does not always go to 1 near strongly Levi pseudoconvex boundary points and it always goes to 0 near nonpseudoconvex boundary points. We also discuss whether Fridman invariants can be extended continuously to some boundary points of domains constructed by deleting compact subsets from other domains.

Generalized fuzzy GV-Hausdorff distance in GFGV-fractal spaces with application in integral equation

We propose a method for constructing a generalized fuzzy Hausdorff distance on the set of the nonempty compact subsets of a given generalized fuzzy metric space in the sence of George–Veeramni and Tian–Ha–Tian. Next, we define the generalized fuzzy fractal spaces. Morever, we obtain a fixed point theorem of a class of generalized fuzzy contractions and present an application in integranl equation.

$$\omega ^\omega $$-Base and infinite-dimensional compact sets in locally convex spaces

A locally convex space (lcs) E is said to have an $$\omega ^{\omega }$$ ω ω -base if E has a neighborhood base $$\{U_{\alpha }:\alpha \in \omega ^\omega \}$$ { U α : α ∈ ω ω } at zero such that $$U_{\beta }\subseteq U_{\alpha }$$ U β ⊆ U α for all $$\alpha \le \beta $$ α ≤ β . The class of lcs with an $$\omega ^{\omega }$$ ω ω -base is large, among others contains all (LM)-spaces (hence (LF)-spaces), strong duals of distinguished Fréchet lcs (hence spaces of distributions $$D^{\prime }(\Omega )$$ D ′ ( Ω ) ). A remarkable result of Cascales-Orihuela states that every compact set in an lcs with an $$\omega ^{\omega }$$ ω ω -base is metrizable. Our main result shows that every uncountable-dimensional lcs with an $$\omega ^{\omega }$$ ω ω -base contains an infinite-dimensional metrizable compact subset. On the other hand, the countable-dimensional vector space $$\varphi $$ φ endowed with the finest locally convex topology has an $$\omega ^\omega $$ ω ω -base but contains no infinite-dimensional compact subsets. It turns out that $$\varphi $$ φ is a unique infinite-dimensional locally convex space which is a $$k_{\mathbb {R}}$$ k R -space containing no infinite-dimensional compact subsets. Applications to spaces $$C_{p}(X)$$ C p ( X ) are provided.

Interpolation of Weighted Extremal Functions

An approach to interpolation of compact subsets of $${{\mathbb {C}}}^n$$ C n , including Brunn–Minkowski type inequalities for the capacities of the interpolating sets, was developed in [8] by means of plurisubharmonic geodesics between relative extremal functions of the given sets. Here we show that a much better control can be achieved by means of the geodesics between weighted relative extremal functions. In particular, we establish convexity properties of the capacities that are stronger than those given by the Brunn–Minkowski inequalities.
