Almost Periodic Compactifications

Compactifications, Hartman functions and (weak) almost periodicity

In this paper we investigate Hartman functions on a topological group G. Recall that (ι, C) is a group compactification of G if C is a compact group, ι : G → C is a continuous group homomorphism and ι(G) ⊆ C is dense. A bounded function f : G 7→ C is a Hartman function if there exists a group compactification (ι, C) and F : C → C such that f = F ◦ ι and F is Riemann integrable, i.e. the set of ...

Characterization of almost maximally almost-periodic groups

Let G be an abelian group. We prove that a group G admits a Hausdorff group topology τ such that the von Neumann radical n(G, τ) of (G, τ) is non-trivial and finite iff G has a non-trivial finite subgroup. If G is a topological group, then n(n(G)) 6= n(G) if and only if n(G) is not dually embedded. In particular, n(n(Z, τ)) = n(Z, τ) for any Hausdorff group topology τ on Z. We shall write our a...

Almost Periodic Harmonizable Processes

The class of harmonizable processes is a natural extension of the class of stationary processes. This paper provides sufficient conditions for the sample paths of harmonizable processes to be almost periodic uniformly, Stepanov and Besicovitch.

Almost periodic functions, constructively

Almost periodic functions form a natural example of a non-separable normed space. As such, it has been a challenge for constructive mathematicians to find a natural treatment of them. Here we present a simple proof of Bohr’s fundamental theorem for almost periodic functions which we then generalize to almost periodic functions on general topological groups.
