Using the notion of Sξ-strictly singular operator introduced by Androulakis, Dodos, Sirotkin and Troitsky, we define an ordinal index on the subspace of strictly singular operators between two separable Banach spaces. In our main result, we provide a sufficient condition implying that this index is bounded by ω1. In particular, we apply this result to study operators on totally incomparable spa...

The max-flow and max-coflow problem on directed graphs is studied in the common generalization to regular spaces, i.e, to kernels or row spaces of totally unimodular matrices. Exhibiting a submodular structure of the family of paths within this model we generalize the Edmonds-Karp variant of the classical Ford-Fulkerson method and show that the number of augmentations is quadratically bounded i...

We present a method for constructing almost periodic sequences and functions with values in a metric space. Applying this method, we find almost periodic sequences and functions with prescribed values. Especially, for any totally bounded countable set X in a metric space, it is proved the existence of an almost periodic sequence {ψk}k∈Z such that {ψk; k ∈ Z} = X and ψk = ψk+lq(k), l ∈ Z for all...

ABSTRACT. When the zero solution of an almost periodic differential system is uniform-asymptotically stable, it is shown that the zero solution is diminishingly asymptotically stable and totally asymptotically stable. Generalization of the above theorem to bounded solutions and functional differential equations with finite time-lag are obtained by the same method. The techniques used in the pro...

We consider the property of unique parallel decomposition modulo branching and weak bisimilarity. First, we show that infinite behaviours may fail to have parallel decompositions at all. Then, we prove that totally normed behaviours always have parallel decompositions, but that these are not necessarily unique. Finally, we establish that weakly bounded behaviours have unique parallel decomposit...

Let . . . be an arbitrary random process taking values in a totally bounded subset of a separable metric space. Associated with we observe drawn from an unknown conditional distribution ( = ) with continuous regression function ( ) = [ = ]. The problem of interest is to estimate based on and the data ( ) . We construct appropriate data-dependent nearest neighbor and kernel estimators and show, ...

Let M be a complete Riemannian locally symmetric space of nonpositive curvature and of finite volume. We show that there are only finitely many compact maximal flats in M of volume bounded by a given number. As a corollary in the case M = SLn(Z)\ SLn(R)/ SOn, we give a different proof of a theorem of Remak that for any n ∈ N, there are only finitely many totally real number fields of degree n w...

Many classical geometric inequalities on functionals of convex bodies depend on the dimension of the ambient space. We show that this dimension dependence may often be replaced (totally or partially) by different symmetry measures of the convex body. Since these coefficients are bounded by the dimension but possibly smaller, our inequalities sharpen the original ones. Since they can often be co...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of probabilistic valued measures as a generalization of non-negative measures and construct the corresponding Lp spaces, for distributions p > "0. It is alsoshown that if the distribution p satises p "1 then, as in the classical case, these spaces are completeprobabilistic normed spaces.
