Analytic Renormings of C(K) Spaces

The aim of our present note is to show the strength of the existence of an equivalent analytic renorming of a Banach space, even compared to C∞-Fréchet smooth renormings. It was Haydon who first showed in [8] that C(K) spaces for K countable admit an equivalent C∞-Fréchet smooth norm. Later, in [7] and [9] he introduced a large clams of tree-like (uncountable) compacts K for which C(K) admits an equivalent C∞-Fréchet smooth norm. Recently, it was shown in [3] that C(K) spaces for K countable admit an equivalent analytic norm. Our Theorem 1 shows that in the class of C(K) spaces this result is the best possible.

Representable Banach Spaces and Uniformly Gateaux-Smooth Norms

It is proved that a representable non-separable Banach space does not admit uniformly Gâteaux-smooth norms. This is true in particular for C(K) spaces where K is a separable non-metrizable Rosenthal compact space.

Application of Lyapunov's Direct Method to the Existence of Integral Manifolds of Impulsive Differential Equations

The present paper investigates the existence of integral manifolds for impulsive differential equations with variable perturbations. By means of piecewise continuous functions which are generalizations of the classical Lyapunov’s functions, sufficient conditions for the existence of integral manifolds of such equations are found.

Stability of the Iteration Method for non Expansive Mappings

The general iteration method for nonexpansive mappings on a Banach space is considered. Under some assumption of fast enough convergence on the sequence of (“almost” nonexpansive) perturbed iteration mappings, if the basic method is τ−convergent for a suitable topology τ weaker than the norm topology, then the perturbed method is also τ−convergent. Application is presented to the gradient-prox method for monotone inclusions in Hilbert spaces.

Radon Measures on Banach Spaces with their Weak Topologies

The main concern of this paper is to present some improvements to results on the existence or non-existence of countably additive Borel measures that are not Radon measures on Banach spaces taken with their weak topologies, on the standard axioms (ZFC) of set-theory. However, to put the results in perspective we shall need to say something about consistency results concerning measurable cardinals.

Growing Neural Networks Using Nonconventional Activation Functions

In the paper, an ontogenic artificial neural network (ANNs) is proposed. The network uses orthogonal activation functions that allow significant reducing of computational complexity. Another advantage is numerical stability, because the system of activation functions is linearly independent by definition. A learning procedure for proposed ANN with guaranteed convergence to the global minimum of error function in the parameter space is developed. An algorithm for structure network structure adaptation is proposed. The algorithm allows adding or deleting a node in real-time without retraining of the network. Simulation results confirm the efficiency of the proposed approach.
