The Interval [0,1] Admits no Functorial Embedding into a Finite-Dimensional or Metrizable Topological Group

An embedding X ⊂ G of a topological space X into a topological group G is called functorial if every homeomorphism of X extends to a continuous group homomorphism of G. It is shown that the interval [0, 1] admits no functorial embedding into a finite-dimensional or metrizable topological group.

Topological Dichotomy and Unconditional Convergence

In this paper, we give a criterion for unconditional convergence with respect to some summability methods, dealing with the topological size of the set of choices of sign providing convergence. We obtain similar results for boundedness. In particular, quasi-sure unconditional convergence implies unconditional convergence.

Isomorphism Problems for the Baire Function Spaces of Topological Spaces

Let a compact Hausdorff space X contain a non-empty perfect subset. If α < β and β is a countable ordinal, then the Banach space Bα (X) of all bounded real-valued functions of Baire class α on X is a proper subspace of the Banach space Bβ (X). In this paper it is shown that: 1. Bα (X) has a representation as C(bα X), where bα X is a compactification of the space P X – the underlying set of X in the Baire topology generated by the Gδ -sets in X. 2. If 1 ≤ α < β ≤ Ω, where Ω is the first uncountable ordinal number, then Bα (X) is uncomplemented as a closed subspace of Bβ (X). These assertions for X = [0, 1] were proved by W. G. Bade [4] and in the case when X contains an uncountable compact metrizable space – by F.K.Dashiell [9]. Our argumentation is one non-metrizable modification of both Bade’s and Dashiell’s methods.

Minimum Mean Square Error Approach in Images Processing for Full-field Displacements and Deformation Measurements

A vision system is applied to full-field displacements and deformation measurements in solid mechanics. A speckle like pattern is preliminary formed on the surface under investigation. To determine displacements field of one speckle image with respect to a reference speckle image, sub-images, referred to Zones Of Interest (ZOI) are considered. The field is obtained by matching a ZOI in the reference image with the respective ZOI in the moved image. Two image processing techniques are used for implementing the matching procedure: – cross correlation function and minimum mean square error (MMSE) of the ZOI intensity distribution. The two algorithms are compared and the influence of the ZOI size on the accuracy of measurements is studied.

Pseudo-Compact Semi-Topological Groups

Митрофан М. Чобан, Петър Ст. Кендеров, Уорън Б. Муурс - Полу-топологична група (съответно, топологична група) е група, снабдена с топология, относно която груповата оперция произведение е частично непрекъсната по всяка от променливите (съответно, непрекъсната по съвкупност от променливите и обратната операция е също непрекъсната). В настоящата работа ние даваме условия, от топологичен характер, една полу-топологична група да е всъщност топологична група. Например, ние показваме, че всяка сепарабелна псевдокомпактна полу-топологична група е топологична група. Показваме също, че всяка локално псевдокомпактна полу-топологична група, чиято групова операция е непрекъсната по съвкупност от променливите е топологична група.
