AbstractWe investigate the cofinality of the partial order κ of functions from a regular cardinal κ into the ideal of Lebesgue measure zero subsets of R. We show that when add () = κ and the covering lemma holds with respect to an inner model of GCH, then cf (κ) = max{cf(κκ), cf([cf()]κ)}. We also give an example to show that the covering assumption cannot be removed.

AbstractLet be any proper ideal of subsets of the real line R which contains all finite subsets of R. We define an ideal * ∣ as follows: X ∈ * ∣ if there exists a Borel set B ⊂ R × R such that X ⊂ B and for any x ∈ R we have {y ∈ R: 〈x, y〉 ∈ B} ∈ . We show that there exists a family ⊂ * ∣ of power ω1 such that ⋃ ∉ * ∣ .In the last section we investigate properties of ideals of Lebesgue measure zero sets and meager sets in Cohen extensions of models of set theory.

AbstractWe give a Dirichlet form approach for the construction and analysis of elliptic diffusions in $\bar{\varOmega}\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with reflecting boundary condition. The problem is formulated in an $L^2$-setting with respect to a reference measure $\mu$ on $\bar{\varOmega}$ having an integrable, $\mathrm{d} x$-almost everywhere (a.e.) positive density $\varrho$ with respect to the Lebesgue measure. The symmetric Dirichlet forms $(\mathcal{E}^{\varrho,a},D(\mathcal{E}^{\varrho,a}))$ we consider are the closure of the symmetric bilinear forms\begin{gather*} \mathcal{E}^{\varrho,a}(f,g)=\sum_{i,j=1}^n\int_{\varOmega}\partial_ifa_{ij} \partial_jg\,\mathrm{d}\mu,\quad f,g\in\mathcal{D}, \\ \mathcal{D}=\{f\in C(\bar{\varOmega})\mid f\in W^{1,1}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\varOmega),\ \mathcal{E}^{\varrho,a}(f,f)\lt\infty\}, \end{gather*}in $L^2(\bar{\varOmega},\mu)$, where $a$ is a symmetric, elliptic, $n\times n$-matrix-valued measurable function on $\bar{\varOmega}$. Assuming that $\varOmega$ is an open, relatively compact set with boundary $\partial\varOmega$ of Lebesgue measure zero and that $\varrho$ satisfies the Hamza condition, we can show that $(\mathcal{E}^{\varrho,a},D(\mathcal{E}^{\varrho,a}))$ is a local, quasi-regular Dirichlet form. Hence, it has an associated self-adjoint generator $(L^{\varrho,a},D(L^{\varrho,a}))$ and diffusion process $\bm{M}^{\varrho,a}$ (i.e. an associated strong Markov process with continuous sample paths). Furthermore, since $1\in D(\mathcal{E}^{\varrho,a})$ (due to the Neumann boundary condition) and $\mathcal{E}^{\varrho,a}(1,1)=0$, we obtain a conservative process $\bm{M}^{\varrho,a}$ (i.e. $\bm{M}^{\varrho,a}$ has infinite lifetime). Additionally, assuming that $\sqrt{\varrho}\in W^{1,2}(\varOmega)\cap C(\bar{\varOmega})$ or that $\varrho$ is bounded, $\varOmega$ is convex and $\{\varrho=0\}$ has codimension at least 2, we can show that the set $\{\varrho=0\}$ has $\mathcal{E}^{\varrho,a}$-capacity zero. Therefore, in this case we can even construct an associated conservative diffusion process in $\{\varrho>0\}$. This is essential for our application to continuous $N$-particle systems with singular interactions. Note that for the construction of the self-adjoint generator $(L^{\varrho,a},D(L^{\varrho,a}))$ and the Markov process $\bm{M}^{\varrho,a}$ we do not need to assume any differentiability condition on $\varrho$ and $a$. We obtain the following explicit representation of the generator for $\sqrt{\varrho}\in W^{1,2}(\varOmega)$ and $a\in W^{1,\infty}(\varOmega)$:$$ L^{\varrho,a}=\sum_{i,j=1}^n\partial_i(a_{ij}\partial_j)+\partial_i(\log\varrho)a_{ij}\partial_j. $$Note that the drift term can be singular, because we allow $\varrho$ to be zero on a set of Lebesgue measure zero. Our assumptions in this paper even allow a drift that is not integrable with respect to the Lebesgue measure.

AbstractIt is shown that the difference between a Vitali–Bernstein selector and a partial Vitali–Bernstein selector can be of Lebesgue measure zero and of first Baire category. This result gives an answer to a question posed by G. Lazou.

Let denote the ideal of Lebesgue measure zero subsets of the real line. Then add() denotes the minimal cardinality of a subset of whose union is not an element of . In [1] Bartoszynski gave an elegant combinatorial characterization of add(), namely: add() is the least cardinal number κ for which the following assertion fails:For every family of at mostκ functions from ω to ω there is a function F from ω to the finite subsets of ω such that:1. For each m, F(m) has at most m + 1 elements, and2. for each f inthere are only finitely many m such that f(m) is not an element of F(m).The symbol A(κ) will denote the assertion above about κ. In the course of his proof, Bartoszynski also shows that the cardinality restriction in 1 is not sharp. Indeed, let (Rm: m < ω) be any sequence of integers such that for each m Rm, ≤ Rm+1, and such that limm→∞Rm = ∞. Then the truth of the assertion A(κ) is preserved if in 1 we say instead that1′. For each m, F(m) has at most Rm elements.We shall use this observation later on. We now define three more statements, denoted B(κ), C(κ) and D(κ), about cardinal number κ.

AbstractLet $$g(z)=\int _0^zp(t)\exp (q(t))\,dt+c$$ g ( z ) = ∫ 0 z p ( t ) exp ( q ( t ) ) d t + c where p, q are polynomials and $$c\in {\mathbb {C}}$$ c ∈ C , and let f be the function from Newton’s method for g. We show that under suitable assumptions on the zeros of $$g''$$ g ′ ′ the Julia set of f has Lebesgue measure zero. Together with a theorem by Bergweiler, our result implies that $$f^n(z)$$ f n ( z ) converges to zeros of g almost everywhere in $${\mathbb {C}}$$ C if this is the case for each zero of $$g''$$ g ′ ′ that is not a zero of g or $$g'$$ g ′ . In order to prove our result, we establish general conditions ensuring that Julia sets have Lebesgue measure zero.

Let 1 be a subdivision of [0, 1], and let denote the class of functions whose restriction to each sub-interval is a polynomial of degree at most k. Gaier [1] has shown that for uniform subdivisions △n (that is, subdivisions for which if and only if f is a polynomial of degree at most k. Here, and subsequently, denotes the usual norm in Lp[0, 1], 1 ≦ p ≦ ∞, and we should emphasize that functions differing only on a set of Lebesgue measure zero are identified.

Fix an alphabet $A=\{0,1,\ldots ,M\}$ with $M\in \mathbb{N}$ . The univoque set $\mathscr{U}$ of bases $q\in (1,M+1)$ in which the number $1$ has a unique expansion over the alphabet $A$ has been well studied. It has Lebesgue measure zero but Hausdorff dimension one. This paper describes how the points in the set $\mathscr{U}$ are distributed over the interval $(1,M+1)$ by determining the limit $$\begin{eqnarray}f(q):=\lim _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}\rightarrow 0}\dim _{\text{H}}(\mathscr{U}\cap (q-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF},q+\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}))\end{eqnarray}$$ for all $q\in (1,M+1)$ . We show in particular that $f(q)>0$ if and only if $q\in \overline{\mathscr{U}}\backslash \mathscr{C}$ , where $\mathscr{C}$ is an uncountable set of Hausdorff dimension zero, and $f$ is continuous at those (and only those) points where it vanishes. Furthermore, we introduce a countable family of pairwise disjoint subsets of $\mathscr{U}$ called relative bifurcation sets, and use them to give an explicit expression for the Hausdorff dimension of the intersection of $\mathscr{U}$ with any interval, answering a question of Kalle et al [On the bifurcation set of unique expansions. Acta Arith. 188 (2019), 367–399]. Finally, the methods developed in this paper are used to give a complete answer to a question of the first author [On univoque and strongly univoque sets. Adv. Math.308 (2017), 575–598] on strongly univoque sets.
