An infinite natural product
Journal Title: Annales Mathematicae Silesianae - Year 2018, Vol 32, Issue
Abstract
We study a countably infinite iteration of the natural product between ordinals. We present an “effective” way to compute this countable natural product; in the non trivial cases the result depends only on the natural sum of the degrees of the factors, where the degree of a nonzero ordinal is the largest exponent in its Cantor normal form representation. Thus we are able to lift former results about infinitary sums to infinitary products. Finally, we provide an order-theoretical characterization of the infinite natural product; this characterization merges in a nontrivial way a theorem by Carruth describing the natural product of two ordinals and a known description of the ordinal product of a possibly infinite sequence of ordinals.

On the continuous dependence of solutions to orthogonal additivity problem on given functions
We show that the solution to the orthogonal additivity problem in real inner product spaces depends continuously on the given function and provide an application of this fact.

We give some stability results for the functional equation $a(xy)=a(x)+a(y)$, where $a:G→E$, $G$ being a groupoid and $E$ a Banach space.

We announce a new result on determining the Conley index of the Poincaré map for a time-periodic non-autonomous ordinary differential equation. The index is computed using some singular cycles related to an index pair of...

In this paper we consider the approximate orthogonalities in real normed spaces. Using the notion of approximate orthogonalities in real normed spaces, we provide some new characterizations of rotundity and smoothness of...
