Fuzzy Partial Metric Spaces

"This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in International Journal of General Systems on 01 Dec 2018, available online: https://doi.org/10.1080/03081079.2018.1552687"[EN] In this paper we provide a concept of fuzzy partial metric space (X, P, ¿) as an extension to fuzzy setting in the sense of Kramosil and Michalek, of the concept of partial metric due to Matthews. This extension has been defined using the residuum operator ¿¿ associated to a continuous t-norm ¿ and without any extra condition on ¿. Similarly, it is defined the stronger concept of GV -fuzzy partial metric (fuzzy partial metric in the sense of George and Veeramani). After defining a concept of open ball in (X, P, ¿), a topology TP on X deduced from P is constructed, and it is showed that (X, TP) is a T0-space.Valentin Gregori acknowledges the support of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain under Grant MTM2015-64373-P (MINECO/Feder, UE).

The semiclassical theory of discontinuous systems and ray-splitting billiards

We analyze the semiclassical limit of spectral theory on manifolds whose metrics have jump-like discontinuities. Such systems are quite different from manifolds with smooth Riemannian metrics because the semiclassical limit does not relate to a classical flow but rather to branching (raysplitting) billiard dynamics. In order to describe this system we introduce a dynamical system on the space of functions on phase space. To identify the quantum dynamics in the semiclassical limit we compute the principal symbols of the Fourier integral operators associated to reflected and refracted geodesic rays and identify the relation between classical and quantum dynamics. In particular we prove a quantum ergodicity theorem for discontinuous systems. In order to do this we introduce a new notion of ergodicity for the ray-splitting dynamics

Integral theorems for monogenic functions in an infinite-dimensional space with a commutative multiplication

We consider monogenic functions taking values in a topological vector space being an expansion of a certain infinite-dimensional commutative Banach algebra associated with the three-dimensional Laplace equation. We establish also integral theorems for monogenic functions taking values in the mentioned algebra and the mentioned topological vector space

Critical measures, quadratic differentials, and weak limits of zeros of Stieltjes polynomials

We investigate the asymptotic zero distribution of Heine-Stieltjes polynomials - polynomial solutions of a second order differential equations with complex polynomial coefficients. In the case when all zeros of the leading coefficients are all real, zeros of the Heine-Stieltjes polynomials were interpreted by Stieltjes as discrete distributions minimizing an energy functional. In a general complex situation one deals instead with a critical point of the energy. We introduce the notion of discrete and continuous critical measures (saddle points of the weighted logarithmic energy on the plane), and prove that a weak-* limit of a sequence of discrete critical measures is a continuous critical measure. Thus, the limit zero distributions of the Heine-Stieltjes polynomials are given by continuous critical measures. We give a detailed description of such measures, showing their connections with quadratic differentials. In doing that, we obtain some results on the global structure of rational quadratic differentials on the Riemann sphere that have an independent interest.Comment: 70 pages, 14 figures.

Nonlinear Analysis and Optimization with Applications

Nonlinear analysis has wide and significant applications in many areas of mathematics, including functional analysis, variational analysis, nonlinear optimization, convex analysis, nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations, dynamical system theory, mathematical economics, game theory, signal processing, control theory, data mining, and so forth. Optimization problems have been intensively investigated, and various feasible methods in analyzing convergence of algorithms have been developed over the last half century. In this Special Issue, we will focus on the connection between nonlinear analysis and optimization as well as their applications to integrate basic science into the real world
