This paper reports "work in progress" on a project which I've titled, "The Spaces of Transnational Cultures". The aim of the project is to build on, but be methodologically different from, my earlier research on the architecture and urbanism of colonial and postcolonial cities in which the principal objective had been to demonstrate the inherently constitutive relationship between the political...

Integration Recall that given a measure space (Ω,F , μ), we denote by L = L(Ω,F , μ) the vector space of integrable functions. Besides defining integrable functions, we call a function f integrable on F in F if 1F f is integrable and we write ∫

In this paper we introduce the notion of an F-metric, as a function valued distance mapping, on a set X and we investigate the theory of F-metric spaces. We show that every metric space may be viewed as an F-metric space and every F-metric space (X, δ) can be regarded as a topological space (X, τδ). In addition, we prove that the category of the so-called extended Fmetric spaces properly contai...

It is useful to treat real-valued functions (or complex-valued functions, or vector space-valued functions) as elements of a vector space, so that the tools from linear algebra can be applied. Given a set X one may consider the vector space R of all real-valued functions with domain X. If X is finite, say with n elements, then this is just the familiar vector space R. The more interesting examp...

In [3], we started the investigation of compactness in fuzzy function spaces in FCS, the category of fuzzy convergence spaces as defined by Lowen/Lowen/Wuyts [8]. This paper goes somewhat deeper in the investigation of fuzzy function spaces using the notion of splitting and conjoining structures on fuzzy subsets. We discuss the connection to the exponential law and give several examples of such...
