A metric compact space M is seen as the closure of the union of a sequence (Mn) of finite n-dense subsets. Extending to M (up to a vanishing uniform distance) Banach-space valued Lipschitz functions defined on Mn, or defining linear continuous near-extension operators for real-valued Lipschitz functions on Mn, uniformly on n is shown to be equivalent to the bounded approximation property for th...

Belief propagation methods are powerful tools for various problems in computer vision. While most methods assume a discrete set of labels for each node in the graphical model, there has recently been an increased interest in using real-valued labels and continuous probability density functions for such problems. We propose using channel representations (soft histograms) as a new way of moving f...

In this paper, we characterize stratifiable (or semi-stratifiable) spaces, and monotonically countably paracompact metacompact) spaces by expansions of locally upper bounded semi-continuous poset-valued maps. These extend earlier results for real-valued Locally functions.

We show that the Scott topology induces a topology for real-valued Lipschitz maps on Banach spaces which we call the L-topology. It is the weakest topology with respect to which the L-derivative operator, as a second order functional on the space of Lipschitz maps into the domain of non-empty, convex and weak*-compact valued functions ordered by reverse inclusion, is continuous. For finite dime...

We show that the Scott topology induces a topology for real-valued Lipschitz maps on Banach spaces which we call the L-topology. It is the weakest topology with respect to which the L-derivative operator, as a second order functional which maps the space of Lipschitz functions into the function space of non-empty weak* compact and convex valued maps equipped with the Scott topology, is continuo...

Some reverses of the continuous triangle inequality for Bochner integral of vectorvalued functions in Hilbert spaces are given. Applications for complex-valued functions are provided as well.

The aim of this paper is to prove a common fixed point theorem for nonexpansive type single valued mappings which include both continuous and discontinuous mappings by relaxing the condition of continuity by weak reciprocally continuous mapping. Our result is generalize and extends the corresponding result of Jhade et al. [P.K. Jhade, A.S. Saluja and R. Kushwah, Coincidence and fixed points of ...
