We define what it means for a function on ω1 to be a collapsing function for λ and show that if there exists a collapsing function for (21), then there is no precipitous ideal on ω1. We show that a collapsing function for ω2 can be added by forcing. We define what it means to be a weakly ω1-Erdös cardinal and show that in L[E], there is a collapsing function for λ iff λ is less than the least w...

We gave a short review of several results which are related to the role of splines (cardinal, centered or interpolating) in numerical integration. Results deal with the problem of approximate computation of the integrals with spline as a weight function, but also with the problem of approximate computation of the integrals without weight function. Besides, we presented an algorithm for calculat...

We construct three models containing exactly one supercompact cardinal in which level by level inequivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness holds. In the first two models, below the supercompact cardinal κ, there is a non-supercompact strongly compact cardinal. In the last model, any suitably defined ground model Easton function is realized.

in order to evaluate the response of emergence rate of oil seed rape seedlings to temperature, a pot experiment was conducted to assess the relationship between emergence rate of three rape seed cultivars (apetalous flower, rgs003 and syn3) by using a non-linear regression against temperature variation. six models (tooth shape, segmented, beta, curve, quadratic and cubic) were used and the supe...

Some properties of sinc-approximations of continuous functions on a segment are studied. For the first time, the sinc-approximations arose in the work of Pleynet. Later, in connection with developments in signals coding theory, E. Borel and E. T. Whittaker introduced the notions of a cardinal function and a truncated cardinal function, the restriction of which to [0, π] looks like this:

The purpose of this communication is to present some recent advances on the consequences that forcing axioms and large cardinals have on the combinatorics of singular cardinals. I will introduce a few examples of problems in singular cardinal combinatorics which can be fruitfully attacked using ideas and techniques coming from the theory of forcing axioms and then translate the results so obtai...
