This paper deals with nonparametric estimation of a regression curve, where the estimation method should preserve possible jumps in the curve. At each point x at which one wants to estimate the regression function, the method chooses in an adaptive way among three estimates: a local linear estimate using only datapoints to the left of x, a local linear estimate based on only datapoints to the r...

We begin with a definition Definition 1. A one-parameter family T (t) for 0 ≤ t < ∞ of bounded linear operators on a Banach space X is a C 0 (or strongly continuous) Semigroup on X if 1. T (0) = I (the identity on X). 2. T (t + s) = T (t)T (s) (semigroup property) 3. lim t↓0 T (t)v = v for all v ∈ X (This the Strong Continuity at t = 0, i.e., continuous at t = 0 in the strong operator topology)...

In this paper, ω-closed sets and ω-open sets are used to define and investigate a new class of functions. Relationships between this new class and other classes of functions are established.

Consider a semigroup action on a set. We derive conditions, in terms of the induced action of the semigroup on {0, 1}-valued probability charges, which ensure that all invariant probability charges are strongly continuous.
