The concept of a preopen set in a topological space was introduced by H. H. Corson and E. Michael in 1964 [3]. A subset A of a topological space (X, τ) is called preopen or locally dense or nearly open if A ⊆ Int(Cl(A)). A set A is called preclosed if its complement is preopen or equivalently if Cl(Int(A)) ⊆ A. The term, preopen, was used for the first time by A. S. Mashhour, M. E. Abd El-Monse...

In this paper we show that an inverse limit is 1-dimensional whenever the bonding functions are upper semi-continuous from [0, 1] into C([0, 1]) and dim(G(fi ◦ fi+1 ◦ · · · ◦ fj)) = 1 for all integers i and j, 1 ≤ i ≤ j. We apply this result to show that such an inverse limit is treelike and also to show that unions of certain finite collections of interval-valued upper semi-continuous function...

Non-negative Matrix Factorisation (NMF) has become a standard method for source identification when data, sources and mixing coefficients are constrained to be positive-valued. The method has recently been extended to allow for negative-valued data and sources in the form of Semiand Convex-NMF. In this paper, we re-elaborate Semi-NMF within a full Bayesian framework. This provides solid foundat...

Every lower semi-continuous closed-and-convex valued mapping Φ : X → 2 , where X is a Σ-product of metrizable spaces and Y is a Hilbert space, has a single-valued continuous selection. This improves an earlier result of the author.

We study supervised and semi-supervised algorithms in the set-valued classification framework with controlled expected size. While former methods can use only n labeled samples, latter are able to make of N additional unlabeled data. obtain minimax rates convergence under α-margin assumption a β-Hölder condition on conditional distribution labels. Our analysis implies that if no further is made...
