A Notion of Convergence in Fuzzy Partially Ordered Sets

The notion of sequential convergence in fuzzy partially ordered sets, under the name oF-convergence, is well known. Our aim in this paper is to introduce and study a notion of net convergence, with respect to the fuzzy order relation, named o-convergence, which generalizes the former notion and is also closer to our sense of the classic concept of "convergence". The main result of this article is that the two notions of convergence are identical in the area of complete F-lattices.

Probability Integral as a Linearization

In fuzzified probability theory, a classical probability space (Ω, A, p) is replaced by a generalized probability space (Ω, ℳ(A), ∫(.) dp), where ℳ(A) is the set of all measurable functions into [0,1] and ∫(.)dp is the probability integral with respect to p. Our paper is devoted to the transition from p to ∫(.) dp. The transition is supported by the following categorical argument: there is a minimal category and its epireflective subcategory such that A and ℳ(A) are objects, probability measures and probability integrals are morphisms, ℳ(A) is the epireflection of A, ∫(.) dp is the corresponding unique extension of p, and ℳ(A) carries the initial structure with respect to probability integrals. We discuss reasons why the fuzzy random events are modeled by ℳ(A) equipped with pointwise partial order, pointwise Łukasiewicz operations (logic) and pointwise sequential convergence. Each probability measure induces on classical random events an additive linear preorder which helps making decisions. We show that probability integrals can be characterized as the additive linearizations on fuzzy random events, i.e., sequentially continuous maps, preserving order, top and bottom elements.

Weak sequential convergence in the dual of compact operators between Banach lattices

For several Banach lattices E and F, if K(E,F) denotes the space of all compact operators from E to F, under some conditions on E and F, it is shown that for a closed subspace M of K(E,F), M* has the Schur property if and only if all point evaluations M1(x) = {Tx : T ? M1} and ~M1(y*) = {T* y* : T ? M1} are relatively norm compact, where x ? E, y* ? F* and M1 is the closed unit ball of M.

General weak limit for Kähler–Ricci flow

Consider the Kähler–Ricci flow with finite time singularities over any closed Kähler manifold. We prove the existence of the flow limit in the sense of current toward the time of singularity. This answers affirmatively a problem raised by Tian in [New results and problems on Kähler–Ricci flow, Astérisque 322 (2008) 71–92] on the uniqueness of the weak limit from sequential convergence construction. The notion of minimal singularity introduced by Demailly in the study of positive current comes up naturally. We also provide some discussion on the infinite time singularity case for comparison. The consideration can be applied to more flexible evolution equation of Kähler–Ricci flow type for any cohomology class. The study is related to general conjectures on the singularities of Kähler–Ricci flows.
