Defining a system in distinction from its environment is a fundamental but elusive problem in artificial life as well as in real-world complex systems. While many notions of closure gives a qualitative and absolute criteria for the system–environment distinction, the concept of “informational closure” proposed by Bertschinger et al. (Bertschinger et al., 2006, Proc. GWAL-7, p.9, IOS Press) give...

We consider the problem of the semidefinite representation of a class of non-compact basic semialgebraic sets. We introduce the conditions of pointedness and closedness at infinity of a semialgebraic set and show that under these conditions our modified hierarchies of nested theta bodies and Lasserre’s relaxations converge to the closure of the convex hull of S. Moreover, if the PP-BDR property...

In the paper, we describe various applications of the closedness and duality theorems of [7] and [8]. First, the strong separability of a polyhedron and a linear image of a convex set is characterized. Then, it is shown how stability conditions (known from the generalized Fenchel-Rockafellar duality theory) can be reformulated as closedness conditions. Finally, we present a generalized Lagrange...

Bogdan and Kolumbán [3] gave sufficient conditions for closedness of the solution map defined on the set of parameters. They considered the parametric equilibrium problems governed by topological pseudomonotone maps depending on a parameter. In this paper we generalize this result for parametric vector equilibrium problems with trifunctions. Let X and Y be Hausdorff topological spaces and P , t...

The projective tensor product in a category of topologicalR-modules (where R is a topological ring) can be defined in Top, the category of topological spaces, by the same universal property used to define the tensor product of R-modules in Set. In this article, we extend this definition to an arbitrary topological category X and study how the cartesian closedness of X is related to the monoidal...

Abrams’ theorem describes a necessary and sufficient condition for the closedness of a linear image of an arbitrary set. Closedness conditions of this type play an important role in the theory of duality in convex programming. In this paper we present generalizations of Abrams’ theorem, as well as Abrams-type theorems characterizing other properties (such as relatively openness or polyhedrality...

Infinite dimensional spaces frequently appear in physics; there are several approaches to obtain a good categorical framework for this type of space, and cartesian closedness of some category, embedding smooth manifolds, is one of the most requested condition. In the first part of the paper, we start from the failures presented by the classical Banach manifolds approach and we will review the m...

We investigate the frame properties and closedness for the shift invariant space

let $varphi(z)=z^m, z in mathbb{u}$, for some positive integer $m$, and $c_varphi$ be the composition operator on the bergman space $mathcal{a}^2$ induced by $varphi$. in this article, we completely determine the point spectrum, spectrum, essential spectrum, and essential norm of the operators $c^*_varphi c_varphi, c_varphi c^*_varphi$ as well as self-commutator and anti-self-commutators of $c_...

We introduce the class of linearly S-closed spaces as a proper subclass H-closed spaces. This property lies between S-closedness and countable S-closedness. A space is called if only any semi-open chain cover posses member dense in space. It shown that extremally disconnected coincide. gave characterizations these terms s-accumulation points filter bases complete families open subsets. While re...
