This give the complete solution to four problems on basic functions posed by Sternfeld, as well as questions posed by Hattori and others.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-09-27T02:56:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "26B40", "54C30", "54C35", "54E45" ], "keywords": [ "finite family", "finite dimensional", "complete solution", "finite basic family", "continuous functions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0809.4733G" } } }
