We introduce and study the notions of a strongly completable and of a strongly complete quasi-uniform space. A quasi-uniform space (X,U) is said to be strongly complete if every Cauchy filter (in the sense of Sieber and Pervin) clusters in the uniform space (X,U ∨ U−1). An interesting motivation for the study of this notion of completeness is the fact, proved here, that the quasi-uniformity ind...

This note studies the relationship between Hutton's quasi-uniformities and Shi's quasi-uniformities. It is shown that when $L$ satisfies``multiple choice principle" for co-prime elements, the category of Hutton's quasi-uniform spaces is a bireflective full subcategory of the category of Shi's quasi-uniform spaces. Especially, if the remote-neighborhood mapping defined by Shi preserves arbitrary...

an experimental study is conducted on three ½ scales, single-story, single-bay, frame specimens. the first specimen was a reinforced concrete frame with solid-brick infill. the second specimen was a reinforced concrete frame with hollow clay perforated-brick infill. the last specimen was a reinforced concrete frame without any infill. these three specimens were tested by pseudostatic method. di...

We study conditions under which the Hausdorff quasi-uniformity UH of a quasi-uniform space (X,U) on the set P0(X) of the nonempty subsets of X is bicomplete. Indeed we present an explicit method to construct the bicompletion of the T0-quotient of the Hausdorff quasi-uniformity of a quasi-uniform space. It is used to find a characterization of those quasi-uniform T0spaces (X,U) for which the Hau...

We study the smoothness of quasi-uniform bivariate subdivision. A quasi-uniform bivariate scheme consists of different uniform rules on each side of the y-axis, far enough from the axis, some different rules near the y-axis, and is uniform in the y-direction. For schemes that generate polynomials up to degree m, we derive a sufficient condition for C continuity of the limit function, which is s...
