Extracting a common convergent indexing from an uncountable family of sequences
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be some uncountable index set and $X$ be some separable reflexive Banach space.
For each $\alpha \in \mathcal{A}$, let
\begin{equation}
\{ x_n^{\alpha} \}_{n=1}^\infty
\end{equation}

Approximations for real functions
Is there some set of real functions ($S$) that has precisely the cardinality of the continuum, but is dense in the space of all the real functions in a sense that every real function can be ...

Can every real function be approximated with a Riemann-integrable one with any precision required?
Is there some proof that Riemann-integrable functions are dense in the space of all real functions?
In a sense that for every real function $f$ and number $\varepsilon>0$, there is Riemann-...

Is the space of affine continuous functions a Baire space
Let $\Omega$ be a compact convex set in q linear normed space. Let $A(\Omega)$ be the space of affine continuous real-valued functions. My question is whether the space $A(\Omega)$ is a Baire space? ...

Baire category theorem for uncountable unions
Any compact Hausdorff space $X$ is a Baire space:
if the set $X$ is a meager set (meaning a countable union of nowhere dense subsets,
also known as a set of first category),
then $X$ is empty.
I am ...

Bounded growth of functions vs bounded growth of functions on countable sets
I am wondering if the boundedness of growth can be characterized by sequences. I am not sure if I use the term "growth" correctly, or use the correct tags for this question. Here is what I mean.
Let $...

Non-separable metric probability space
Let us say a metric probability space $(X,\rho,\mu)$ has property (*) if:
the support of $\mu$ is contained in a separable subspace of $X$.
Questions:
1. Is there a standard name for this property?

How to define transfinite derivatives of a function?
There are all manners of theories generalizing the notion of derivative. Amongst them is the fractional calculus, a rich theory which gives a sense to the derivation and integration of non-integer (i....

Generalized limits on $\ell^\infty(\mathbb{N})$
Let $\ell^\infty(\mathbb{N})$ denote the set of bounded real sequences $(a_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$. The $\lim$ operator is a partial linear operator from $\ell^\infty(\mathbb{N})$ to $\mathbb{R}$. With ...

Does Arzelà-Ascoli require choice?
Inspired by a recent Math.SE question entitled Where do we need the axiom of choice in Riemannian geometry?, I was thinking of the Arzelà--Ascoli theorem. Let's state a very simple version:

Can (how) one distinguish germs of continuous functions by a countable set of params?
Continuous functions can be distinguished by their values at say rational points of [0 1].
Germs of analytic functions can be distinguished by derivatives at a point.
So in both cases we see ...

Is a semicontinuous real function Borel measurable?
Let $f(x,u): [0,1]^2 \mapsto \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous
function.
[Q] Is $g(x) = \inf_{u\in [0,1]} f(x,u)$ always Borel measurable?
If not, can one find a counter-example?
Note that, for any $c$,
