A Look At Biseparating Maps From An Algebraic Point Of View, Melvin Henriksen, Frank A. Smith Jan 2000

A Look At Biseparating Maps From An Algebraic Point Of View, Melvin Henriksen, Frank A. Smith

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

In [ABN], Araujo, Beckenstein, and Narici add the capstone to a series of papers by several groups of authors by showing that if ρ is a biseparating map between two algebras of all real or complex-valued functions on realcompact spaces, then it is a continuous multiple of an isomorphism between these rings. Their proof uses relatively powerful analytic and topological techniques. In what follows, the extent to which such a result can be generalized to a wider class of algebras using algebraic techniques is investigated. We are unable, however to obtain the main result of [ABN] using these techniques.


When Is |C(X X Y)| = |C(X)||C(Y)|?, O. T. Alas, W. W. Comfort, S. Garcia-Ferreira, Melvin Henriksen, R. G. Wilson, R. G. Woods Jan 2000

Sufficient conditions on the Tychonoff spaces X and Y are found that imply that the equation in the title holds. Sufficient conditions on the Tychonoff space X are found that ensure that the equation holds for every Tychonoff space Y . A series of examples (some using rather sophisticated cardinal arithmetic) are given that witness that these results cannot be generalized much.

A Leveque-Type Lower Bound For Discrepancy, Francis E. Su Jan 2000

A Leveque-Type Lower Bound For Discrepancy, Francis E. Su

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

A sharp lower bound for discrepancy on R / Z is derived that resembles the upper bound due to LeVeque. An analogous bound is proved for discrepancy on Rk / Zk. These are discussed in the more general context of the discrepancy of probablity measures. As applications, the bounds are applied to Kronecker sequences and to a random walk on the torus.


Procedural Support For Cooperative Negotiations: Theoretical Design And Practical Implementation, Matthias G. Raith, Francis Su Jan 2000

Procedural Support For Cooperative Negotiations: Theoretical Design And Practical Implementation, Matthias G. Raith, Francis Su

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

We discuss the theoretical design of algorithms for solving distributional conflicts within groups. We consider an algorithm to be procedural if the implementation of the outcome requires the participation of the players, or if it can even be conducted by the players themselves without computational assistance. We compare two procedures for multilateral problems of fair division; both establish envy-freeness, given the possibility of monetary compensations between players.
