Considering a commutative unital quantale L as the truth value table and using the tool of L-generalized convergence structures of stratified L-filters, this paper introduces a kind of fuzzy upper topology, called fuzzy S-upper topology, on L-preordered sets. It is shown that every fuzzy join-preserving L-subset is open in this topology. When L is a complete Heyting algebra, for every completel...

In the context of 2 + 1–dimensional quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant and topology R×T 2, constant matrix–valued connections generate a q–deformed representation of the fundamental group, and signed area phases relate the quantum matrices assigned to homotopic loops. Some features of the resulting quantum geometry are explored, and as a consequence a quantum version of the Gol...

In this note we prove that an extended-real-valued lower semi-continuous convex function Φ defined on a reflexive Banach space X achieves its supremum on every nonempty bounded and closed convex set of its effective domain Dom Φ, if and only if the restriction of Φ to Dom Φ is sequentially continuous with respect to the weak topology on the underlying space X .

Curve evolution schemes for image segmentation based on a region based contour model allowing for junctions, vector-valued images and topology changes are introduced. Together with an a posteriori denoising in the segmented homogeneous regions this leads to a fast and efficient method for image segmentation and restoration. An uneven spread of mesh points is avoided by using the tangential degr...

We give a sequential compactness criterion for the weak topology of vector measures with values in certain nuclear spaces, such as the space S of all rapidly decreasing, infinitely differentiable functions, the space D of all test functions, and the strong duals of those spaces. This result contains Prokhorov–LeCam’s criterion for real measures and applies to cases which are not covered by März...

It is proved that for every continuous lattice there is a unique semiuniform structure generating both the order and the Lawson topology. The way below relation can be characterized with this uniform structure. These results are used to extend many of the analytical properties of real-valued l.s.c. functions to l.s.c. functions with values in a continuous lattice. The results of this paper have...

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given so that the space C(X, E) of all continuous functions from a zero-dimensional topological space X to a nonArchimedean locally convex space E, equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on the compact subsets of X, to be polarly absolutely quasi-barrelled, polarly אo-barrelled, polarly `∞-barrelled or polarly co-barrelled. Also, tensor product...

Let X be an arbitrary set and a lattice of subsets ofX such that t/t, X E ..A() is the algebra generated by and I() consists of all zero-one valued finitely additive measures on Various subsets of I() are considered and certain lattices are investigated as well as the topology of closed sets generated by them. The lattices are investigated for normality, regularity, repleteness and completeness...

This paper proposes a new measure for network performance evaluation called topology lifetime. The measure provides insight into which one of a set of topologies is likely to last the longest before more capacity must be installed. The lifetime measure is not single valued, but considers growth as a function of a set of demand shifts. The lifetime measure is applied to several topologies: a dua...
