The Bombers

"J. Math. Mech. 14:589-612. Let D denote the unit disk |z| <> x

The author proves several theorems on boundary functions in the following four cases: (1) f(z) a homeomorphism of D onto D, (2) f(z) a continuous function, (3) f(z) a Baire function and (4) f(z) a measurable function. These theorems include answers to two questions raised by Bagemihl and Piranian.

Theorem 1 states that if f(z) is a homeomorphism of D onto D, then there exists a countable set N such that t|C - N is continuous.

In the case of continuous functions, one needs some definitions. Let S and T be metric spaces. f is said to be of Baire class 1(S, T) if and only if (i) domain f = S, (ii) range f ( T and (iii) there exists a sequence {f(n)} of continuous functions, each mapping S into T, such that f(n) -> f pointwise on S. g is of honorary Baire class 2(S, T) if and only if (i) domain g = S, (ii) range g ( T and (iii) there exists a function f of Baire class 1(S, T) and a countable set N such that f|S - N = g|S - N. Using these defnitions, Theorems 2 and 3 read as follows. Theorem 2: Let f be a continuous real-valued function in D and let t be a finite-valued boundary function for f. Then t is of honorary Baire class 2(C, R), where R is the set of real numbers. Theorem 3: Let f be a continuous function mapping D into the Riemann sphere S and let t be a boundary function for f. Then t is of honorary Baire class 2(C, S).

In the cases of Baire functions and measurable functions, for the sake of convenience consider the open upper half-plane D0: I(z) > 0, and its boundary C0: I(z) = 0, instead of D and C, respectively. Theorem 4 states that if f is a real-valued function of Baire class a > 1 in D0, and t is a finite-valued boundary function, then t is of Baire class a + 1. As an immediate consequence of Theorem 4, one has Theorem 5: Let f be a real-valued Borel-measurable function in D0 and let t be a finite-valued boundary function for f; then t is Borel-measurable.

Next, the author proves that for an arbitrary function t on C0, there exists a function f on D0 such that f(z) = 0 almost everywhere and t is a boundary function for f. The paper concludes with some remarks concerning extensions of these theorems into three dimensions."-T.J. Kaczynski, Boundary functions for functions defined in a disk.

"Hereupon, such disguises metastasize, clog
arteries flowing through the vein of eye wars, a recapture
Ring is said to have undone fixtures filled with deletes.

This boom's freaking, its mess collides
Into a surfacing denounce that fleets
Through initial reverberates
Of fellow fickle men. This math
This cool, humid form of mass
Goes through this trail: blast
Of 1 is 1."- R.J. Abad

Your Photos Suck And Are Not Yours So Quit It and Just Suck More Dicks, Please

I've seen you suck up earth as if it were skin and blew all things liquid
In a stream and torrent you'd find in making other things lie low and flowing
And it took days before it finally went out and by the time it's done it's died
On me. You'd had recapturings before we met. But nothing like this.

It is such full you could not even notice a spit. Suck it to me, dear.
It is panicking, shrieks have done a similar thing but you, dear, and your
flowery, flowery, flowery pretense just couldn't be that we'd long forgotten
Could not have been that that makes each other such a "let us, let us"

Let's not start going through it all again as though we've met again
For the second time, it's just as well you come back and reach over and flow
Down the drain your blows and the sentence no one mistakes is yours.
