Nearness (a fuzzy nearness) is a fuzzy relation that can be used to model various grades of “being close” in a linear space. We study the uniform convergence of a sequence of functions with values in a space equipped with a nearness relation. The uniform convergence for the mappings into a space with a fuzzy nearness is defined and it is shown that a theorem similar to Moore-Osgood theorem for ...

A survey is given of the work on strong regularity for uniform algebras over the last thirty years, and some new results are proved, including the following. Let A be a uniform algebra on a compact space X and let E be the set of all those points x ∈ X such that A is not strongly regular at x. If E has no non-empty, perfect subsets then A is normal, and X is the character space of A. If X is ei...

In this paper, we derive an analytical expression for the exact pairwise error probability (PEP) of a space-time coded system operating over a spatially correlated slow fading channel using a moment-generating function-based approach. This analytical PEP expression is more realistic than previously published exact-PEP expressions as it fully accounts for antenna spacing, antenna geometries (Uni...

We present comparative results obtained in the context of 24-bit true color image encoding by using searchless vs. search-based fractal compression techniques in a perceptually uniform color space. A pixel in the color space is represented as a vector with each component corresponding to a color channel. The least squares approximation of an image block by an Iterated Function System (IFS) is a...

Berestovskii and Plaut introduced the concept of a coverable space [1] when developing their theory of generalized universal covering maps for uniform spaces. If a space is coverable and chain connected then it has a generalized universal covering map. Brodskiy, Dydak, LaBuz, and Mitra introduced the concept of a uniformly joinable space [2] when developing a theory of generalized uniform cover...
