In this paper the notion of weak chain-completeness is introduced for pseudo-ordered sets as an extension of the notion of chain-completeness of posets (see [3]) and it is shown that every isotone map of a weakly chain-complete pseudo-ordered set into itself has a least fixed point.
Some criteria for weak compactness of set valued integrals are given. Also we show some applications to the study of multimeasures on Banach spaces with the Radon-Nikodym property.
Here we consider the weak congruence lattice $C_{W}(A)$ of an algebra $A$ with the congruence extension property (the CEP for short) and the weak congruence intersection property (briefly the WCIP). In the first section we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the semimodularity of that lattice. In the second part we characterize algebras whose weak congruences form complemented lattices.
The full consistency of Saaty's matrix of preference intensities used in AHP is practically unachievable for a large number of objects being compared. There are many procedures and methods published in the literature that describe how to assess whether Saaty's matrix is "consistent enough". Consistency is in these cases measured for an already defined matrix (i.e. ex-post). In this paper we present a procedure that guarantees that an acceptable level of consistency of expert information concerning preferences will be achieved. The proposed method is based on dividing the process of inputting Saaty's matrix into two steps. First, the ordering of the compared objects with respect to their significance is determined using the pairwise comparison method. Second, the intensities of preferences are defined for the objects numbered in accordance with their ordering (resulting from the first step). In this paper the weak consistency of Saaty's matrix is defined, which is easy to check during the process of inputting the preference intensities. Several propositions concerning the properties of weakly consistent Saaty's matrices are proven in the paper. We show on an example that the weak consistency, which represents a very natural requirement on Saaty's matrix of preference intensities, is not achieved for some matrices, which are considered "consistent enough" according to the criteria published in the literature. The proposed method of setting Saaty's matrix of preference intensities was used in the model for determining scores for particular categories of artistic production, which is an integral part of the Registry of Artistic Results (RUV) currently being developed in the Czech Republic. The Registry contains data on works of art originating from creative activities of Czech art colleges and faculties. Based on the total scores achieved by these institutions, a part of the state budget subsidy is being allocated among them.
We explore (weak) continuity properties of group operations. For this purpose, the Novak number and developability number are applied. It is shown that if $(G, \cdot ,\tau )$ is a regular right (left) semitopological group with $\mathop{{\rm dev}}(G)<\mathop{{\rm Nov}}(G)$ such that all left (right) translations are feebly continuous, then $(G,\cdot ,\tau )$ is a topological group. This extends several results in literature.
In this paper we extend the notion of weak degree domination in graphs to hypergraphs and find relationships among the domination number, the weak edge-degree domination number, the independent domination number and the independence number of a given hypergraph.
In this paper we prove a theorem on weak homogeneity of $MV$-algebras which generalizes a known result on weak homogeneity of Boolean algebras. Further, we consider a homogeneity condition for $MV$-algebras which is defined by means of an increasing cardinal property.
In this paper we deal with weakly homogeneous direct factors of lattice ordered groups. The main result concerns the case when the lattice ordered groups under consideration are archimedean, projectable and conditionally orthogonally complete.
