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.

The inverse Cauchy problem for the fractional telegraph equation $$u^{(\alpha)}_t-r(t)u^{(\beta)}_t+a^2(-\Delta)^{\gamma/2} u=F_0(x)g(t),\quad (x,t) \in {\rm R}^n\times (0,T],$$ with given distributions in the right-ha...
On the similarity of matrices AB and BA over a field
Let A and B be n-by-n matrices over a field. The study of the relationship between the products of matrices AB and BA has a long history. It is well-known that AB and BA have equal characteristic polynomials (and, theref...

A ∗-polynomial is a function on a complex Banach space X, which is a sum of so-called (p,q)-polynomials.In turn, for non-negative integers p and q, a (p,q)-polynomial is a function on X, which is the restrictionto the di...
$\omega$-Euclidean domain and Laurent series
It is proved that a commutative domain $R$ is $\omega$-Euclidean if and only if the ring of formal Laurent series over $R$ is $\omega$-Euclidean domain. It is also proved that every singular matrice over ring of formal L...
