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.

We give sufficient conditions when a topological inverse l-polycyclic monoid Pl is absolutely Hclosed in the class of topological inverse semigroups. For every infinite cardinal l we construct the coarsest semigroup inve...

We obtain the statement about the imitation behavior of the sum of functions on the real half-line by each of the summands under some conditions for these functions and their Laplace transforms.
A note on the necessity of filtering mechanism for polynomial observability of time-discrete wave equation
The problem of uniform polynomial observability was recently analyzed. It is shown that, when the continuous model is uniformly polynomially observable, it is sufficient to filter initial data to derive uniform poly...
