Properties of distance spaces with power triangle inequalities
Journal Title: Карпатські математичні публікації - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Metric spaces provide a framework for analysis and have several very useful properties. Many of these properties follow in part from the triangle inequality. However, there are several applications in which the triangle inequality does not hold but in which we may still like to perform analysis. This paper investigates what happens if the triangle inequality is removed all together, leaving what is called a distance space, and also what happens if the triangle inequality is replaced with a much more general two parameter relation, which is herein called the "power triangle inequality". The power triangle inequality represents an uncountably large class of inequalities, and includes the triangle inequality, relaxed triangle inequality, and inframetric inequality as special cases. The power triangle inequality is defined in terms of a function that is herein called the power triangle function. The power triangle function is itself a power mean, and as such is continuous and monotone with respect to its exponential parameter, and also includes the operations of maximum, minimum, mean square, arithmetic mean, geometric mean, and harmonic mean as special cases.

Geometry of hypersurfaces of a quarter symmetric non metric connection in a quasi-Sasakian manifold
The purpose of the paper is to study the notion of CR-submanifold and the existence of some structures on a hypersurface of a quarter symmetric non metric connection in a quasi-Sasakian manifold. We study the existence o...
Metric on the spectrum of the algebra of entire symmetric functions of bounded type on the complex $L_\infty$
It is known that every complex-valued homomorphism of the Fr\'{e}chet algebra $H_{bs}(L_\infty)$ of all entire symmetric functions of bounded type on the complex Banach space $L_\infty$ is a point-evaluation functional...

The fact that the values of the approximates of the positive definite branched continued fraction of special form are all in a certain circle is established for the certain conditions. The uniform convergence of branched...
On central automorphisms of crossed modules
A crossed module (T,G,∂) consist of a group homomorphism ∂:T→G together with an action (g,t)→gt of G on T satisfying ∂(gt)=g∂(t)g−1 and ∂(s)t=sts−1, for all g∈G and s,t∈T. The term crossed module was introduced by J. H...
Paley-Wiener-type theorem for polynomial ultradifferentiable functions
The image of the space of ultradifferentiable functions with compact supports under Fourier-Laplace transformation is described. An analogue of Paley-Wiener theorem for polynomial ultradifferentiable functions is proved.
