Local boundedness

February 8th, 2010

















Local boundedness

Jump to: navigation, search

In mathematics, a function is locally bounded, if it is bounded around every point. A family of functions is locally bounded, if for any point in their domain all the functions are bounded around that point and by the same number.

  • 2 Examples
  • 3 Locally bounded family
  • 4 Examples

    • 5.1 Locally bounded topological vector spaces

Locally bounded function

A function f defined on some topological space X with real or complex values is called locally bounded, if for any x0 in X there exists a neighborhood A of x0 such that f (A) is a bounded set, that is, for some number M>0 one has

for all x in A.

That is to say, for each x, one can find a constant depending on x, which is larger than the values of the function around x. Compare this with a bounded function, for which the constant does not depend on x. Obviously, if a function is bounded, then the function is locally bounded.

This definition can be extended to the case when f takes values in some metric space. Then, the inequality above needs to be replaced with

for all x in A, where d is the distance function in the metric space, and a is some point in the metric space. The choice of a does not affect the definition. Choosing a different a will at most increase the constant M for which this inequality is true.

Examples

  • The function f: R ? R

is bounded, because 0? f (x) ? 1 for all x. Therefore, it is also locally bounded.

  • The function f: R ? R

is not bounded, as it becomes extremely large when x is large. However, it is locally bounded.

  • The function f:R ? R defined by

for x ? 0 and taking the value 0 for x=0 is not locally bounded. In any neighborhood of 0 this function takes values of arbitrarily large magnitude.

Locally bounded family

A set (also called a family) U of functions defined on some topological space X with real or complex values is called locally bounded, if for any x0 in X there exists a neighborhood A of x0 and a positive number M such that

for all x in A and f in U. In other words, all the functions in the family must be locally bounded, and around each point they need to be bounded by the same constant.

This definition can also be extended to the case when the functions in the family U take values in some metric space, by again replacing the absolute value with the distance function.

Examples

  • The family of functions fn:R?R

where n = 1, 2, … is uniformly bounded. Indeed, if x0 is a real number, one can choose the neighborhood A to be the interval (x0-1, x0+1). Then for all x in this interval and for all n?1 one has

with M=|x0|+1.

  • The family of functions fn:R?R

is locally bounded. For any x0 one can choose the neighborhood A to be R itself. Then we have

with M=1. Note that the value of M does not depend on the choice of x0 or its neighborhood A. This family is then more than locally bounded, it is actually uniformly bounded.

  • The family of functions fn:R?R

is not locally bounded. Indeed, for any x0 the values fn(x0) cannot be bounded as n tends toward infinity.

Topological vector spaces

Local boundedness may also refer to a property of topological vector spaces, or of functions from a topological space into a topological vector space.

Locally bounded topological vector spaces

Let X be a topological vector space. Then a subset B ? X is bounded if, for each open neighborhood U of 0 in X, there exists a number m > 0 such that

A topological vector space is said to be locally bounded if X admits a bounded open neighborhood of 0.

Locally bounded functions

Let X be a topological space, Y a topological vector space, and f : X ? Y a function. Then f is locally bounded if each point of X has a neighborhood whose image under f is bounded.

The following theorem relates local boundedness of functions with the local boundedness of topological vector spaces:

Boetian

February 7th, 2010

















Boeotia

  (Redirected from Boetian)
Jump to: navigation, search


Boeotia as a prefecture of modern Greece

Boeotia, also spelled Beotia and Bœotia (pronounced /bi??o??i?/, Greek: ???????), formerly Cadmeis, was a region of ancient Greece, north of the eastern part of the Gulf of Corinth. It was bounded on the south by Megaris and the Kithairon mountain range that forms a natural barrier with Attica, on the north by Opuntian Locris and the Euripus Strait at the Gulf of Euboea, and on the west by Phocis. Lake Copais was a large lake in the center of Boeotia.

Boeotia Prefecture (pronounced ) is a prefecture of modern Greece with approximately the same boundaries.

Legends

In Greek mythology, Boeotia plays a prominent part. Of the two great centres of legends, Thebes, with its Cadmean population, figures as a military stronghold, and Orchomenus, the home of the Minyae, as an enterprising commercial city.

Graia (?????), which means ancient or old, was said to be the oldest city of Greece. The word ??????? (Graekos, Greek) is connected to ‘Graia’ by some authors. Aristotle said that this city was created before the deluge. The same assertion about the origins of Graia city was found also in an ancient marble, the Parian Chronicle, discovered in 1687 and dated in 267-263 BC, that is currently kept in Oxford and on Paros. Reports about this ancient city can be found also in Homer, in Pausanias, in Thucydides, etc.

The origin of Boeotians lies in the mountain Boeon (Epirus-West Macedonia), where Graecus is connected with Epirus by Aristotle. They were also related to Thessalians as their aeolic dialect indicates.

According to some ancient Greek sources, there were two great kings who ruled in Thebes (and Boeotia) before the Cataclysm (deluge) which happened in the reigns of Deucalion (in Thessaly), Cranaos (in Attica) and the sons of Lycaon (in Arcadia): Calydnos (????????) and Ogygos (??????).

History

Boeotia had significant political importance, owing to its position on the north shore of the Gulf of Corinth, extending westwards between Thessaly and Peloponnesus to the Isthmus of Corinth; the strategic strength of its frontiers; and the ease of communication within its extensive area. On the other hand, the lack of good harbours hindered its maritime development. The Boeotian people, although they included great men like Pindar, Hesiod, Epaminondas, Pelopidas and Plutarch, were portrayed proverbially dull by Athenians (cf. Boeotian ears incapable of appreciating music or poetry and Hog-Boeotians ,Cratinus.310)

The importance of the legendary Minyae has been confirmed by its archaeological remains (notably the “Treasury of Minyas”). The Boeotian population seems to have entered the land from the north at a date possibly before the Dorian invasion. With the exception of the Minyae, the original peoples were soon absorbed by these immigrants, and the Boeotians henceforth appear as a homogeneous nation.

In historical times, the leading city of Boeotia was Thebes, whose central position and military strength made it a suitable capital; other major towns were Orchomenus, Plataea, and Thespiae. It was the constant ambition of the Thebans to absorb the other townships into a single state, just as Athens had annexed the Attic communities. But the outlying cities successfully resisted this policy, and only allowed the formation of a loose federation which, initially, was merely religious.

While the Boeotians, unlike the Arcadians, generally acted as a united whole against foreign enemies, the constant struggle between the cities was a serious check on the nation’s development. Boeotia hardly figures in history before the late 6th century BC. Previous to this, its people are chiefly known as the makers of a type of geometric pottery, similar to the Dipylon ware of Athens. In about 519 BC, the resistance of Plataea to the federating policy of Thebes led to the interference of Athens on behalf of the former; on this occasion, and again in 507 BC, the Athenians defeated the Boeotian levy.

During the Persian invasion of 480 BC, Thebes assisted the invaders. In consequence, for a time, the presidency of the Boeotian League was taken from Thebes, but in 457 BC the Spartans reinstated that city as a bulwark against Athenian aggression after the Battle of Tanagra. Athens retaliated by a sudden advance upon Boeotia, and after the victory at the Battle of Oenophyta took control of the whole country, taking down the wall the Spartans had built. With the victory the Athenians also occupied Phocis, the original source of the conflict and the Opuntian Locris. For ten years the land remained under Athenian control, which was exercised through the newly installed democracies; but in 447 BC the people revolted, and after a victory at the Battle of Coronea regained their independence.

In the Peloponnesian War the Boeotians fought zealously against Athens. Though slightly estranged from Sparta after the peace of Nicias, they never abated their enmity against their neighbours. They rendered good service at Syracuse and at the Battle of Arginusae in the closing years of the Pelopennesian War; but their greatest achievement was the decisive victory at the Battle of Delium over the Athenian army (424 BC), in which both their heavy infantry and their cavalry displayed unusual efficiency. About this time the Boeotian League comprised eleven groups of sovereign cities and associated townships, each of which elected one Boeotarch or minister of war and foreign affairs, contributed sixty delegates to the federal council at Thebes, and supplied a contingent of about a thousand foot and a hundred horse to the federal army. A safeguard against undue encroachment on the part of the central government was provided in the councils of the individual cities, to which all important questions of policy had to be submitted for ratification. These local councils, to which the propertied classes alone were eligible, were subdivided into four sections, resembling the prytaneis of the Athenian council, which took it in turns to vote on all new measures.

Boeotia took a prominent part in the war of the Corinthian League against Sparta, especially at Haliartus and the Battle of Coronea (395-394 BC). This change of policy seems due mainly to the national resentment against foreign interference. Yet disaffection against Thebes was now growing rife, and Sparta fostered this feeling by stipulating for the complete independence of all the cities in the peace of Antalcidas (387 BC). In 374 BC Pelopidas restored the Theban dominion and their control was never significantly challenged again.

Boeotian contingents fought in all the campaigns of Epaminondas against the Spartans, most notably at the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC, and in the later wars against Phocis (356-346 BC); while in the dealings with Philip of Macedon the cities merely followed Thebes. The federal constitution was also brought into accord with the democratic governments now prevalent throughout the land. The sovereign power was vested in the popular assembly, which elected the Boeotarchs (between seven and twelve in number), and sanctioned all laws. After the Battle of Chaeroneia, in which the Boeotian heavy infantry once again distinguished itself, the land never rose again to prosperity.

The destruction of Thebes by Alexander the Great (335 BC) seems to have removed the political energy of the Boeotians. They never again pursued an independent policy, but followed the lead of protecting powers. Though military training and organization continued, the people proved unable to defend the frontiers, and the land became more than ever the “dancing-ground of Ares”. Though enrolled for a short time in the Aetolian League (about 245 BC) Boeotia was generally loyal to Macedon, and supported its later kings against Rome. Rome dissolved the league, which, however, was allowed to revive under Augustus, and merged with the other central Greek federations in the Achaean synod. The death-blow to the country’s prosperity was given by the devastations during the First Mithridatic War.

Pejorative term

Boeotia came to be proverbial for the stupidity of its inhabitants (OED), probably because of Athens’ proud assertion of its cultural superiority compared to its rural neighbours.

Parge coat

Parge coat

Jump to: navigation, search

Parge coat (concrete): A thin coat of a cementitious or polymeric mortar applied to concrete for refinement of the surface. The typical parge coat is 1/32″-1/16″ in thickness; this may be less than the minimum thickness allowed by many mortars types.

The intent is to create a contiguous surface by filling surface air voids and bugholes (eliminating bughole-induced outgassing) and to level concrete with extreme rugosity to a level suitable for topcoating with a high-performance protective coating.

Parge coating also used to create air tightness for apartments.

The 1st Field Artillery Regiment (Dutch: 1ste Regiment Veldartillerie, French: 1 Régiment d’Artillerie de Campagne) is an artillery regiment in the Land Component of the Belgian Armed Forces. The regiment is the field artillery regiment of the 7th Brigade.

The unit is stationed in Bastogne and uses the Mortier 12O RT heavy mortar.

History

The 1st Field Artillery Regiment was established on 21 February 1836, when the Regiment of Artillery was split up into three new regiments. The regiment participated in both World Wars. During the Second World War, it remained active after the Eighteen Days’ Campaign, the campaign of the Belgian army in May 1940 when Belgium was invaded by Germany. The First Belgian Battery, which was created in the United Kingdom in February 1941, participated as part of the Brigade Piron in the Battle of Normandy and in fights in Belgian and Dutch Limburg during the liberation of Western Europe. For this reason, the regiment’s first battery, A Battery, is known as Batterie Libération (French for “Liberation Battery”).
