    Constructive mathematics and unbounded operators — a reply to Hellman.Douglas S. Bridges - 1995 - Journal of Philosophical Logic 24 (5):549 - 561.
    It is argued that Hellman's arguments purporting to demonstrate that constructive mathematics cannot cope with unbounded operators on a Hilbert space are seriously flawed, and that there is no evidence that his thesis is correct.

    Constructive notions of equicontinuity.Douglas S. Bridges - 2009 - Archive for Mathematical Logic 48 (5):437-448.
    In the informal setting of Bishop-style constructive reverse mathematics we discuss the connection between the antithesis of Specker’s theorem, Ishihara’s principle BD-N, and various types of equicontinuity. In particular, we prove that the implication from pointwise equicontinuity to uniform sequential equicontinuity is equivalent to the antithesis of Specker’s theorem; and that, for a family of functions on a separable metric space, the implication from uniform sequential equicontinuity to uniform equicontinuity is equivalent to BD-N.

    Product a-frames and proximity.Douglas S. Bridges - 2008 - Mathematical Logic Quarterly 54 (1):12-26.
    Continuing the study of apartness in lattices, begun in [8], this paper deals with axioms for a product a-frame and with their consequences. This leads to a reasonable notion of proximity in an a-frame, abstracted from its counterpart in the theory of set-set apartness.

  7. Uniformly convex Banach spaces are reflexive—constructively.Douglas S. Bridges, Hajime Ishihara & Maarten McKubre-Jordens - 2013 - Mathematical Logic Quarterly 59 (4-5):352-356.
    We propose a natural definition of what it means in a constructive context for a Banach space to be reflexive, and then prove a constructive counterpart of the Milman-Pettis theorem that uniformly convex Banach spaces are reflexive.

    Glueing continuous functions constructively.Douglas S. Bridges & Iris Loeb - 2010 - Archive for Mathematical Logic 49 (5):603-616.
    The glueing of (sequentially, pointwise, or uniformly) continuous functions that coincide on the intersection of their closed domains is examined in the light of Bishop-style constructive analysis. This requires us to pay attention to the way that the two domains intersect.

    Complements of Intersections in Constructive Mathematics.Douglas S. Bridges & Hajime Ishihara - 1994 - Mathematical Logic Quarterly 40 (1):35-43.
    We examine, from a constructive perspective, the relation between the complements of S, T, and S ∩ T in X, where X is either a metric space or a normed linear space. The fundamental question addressed is: If x is distinct from each element of S ∩ T, if s ϵ S, and if t ϵ T, is x distinct from s or from t? Although the classical answer to this question is trivially affirmative, constructive answers involve Markov's principle and (...)

    Compactness notions for an apartness space.Douglas S. Bridges - 2012 - Archive for Mathematical Logic 51 (5-6):517-534.
    Two new notions of compactness, each classically equivalent to the standard classical one of sequential compactness, for apartness spaces are examined within Bishop-style constructive mathematics.

    How to construct a product of a‐frames.Douglas S. Bridges - 2012 - Mathematical Logic Quarterly 58 (4-5):281-293.
    It is shown how, under certain circumstances and within Bishop‐style constructive mathematics, one can construct a product of two a‐frames (the structures underlying the constructive theory of apartness on frames).

    Constructive complements of unions of two closed sets.Douglas S. Bridges - 2004 - Mathematical Logic Quarterly 50 (3):293.
    It is well known that in Bishop-style constructive mathematics, the closure of the union of two subsets of ℝ is ‘not’ the union of their closures. The dual situation, involving the complement of the closure of the union, is investigated constructively, using completeness of the ambient space in order to avoid any application of Markov's Principle.

    The existence of either a maximum or a minimum for a uniformly continuous mapping f of a compact interval into ${\mathbb{R}}$ is established constructively under the hypotheses that f′ is sequentially continuous and f has at most one critical point.

    Constructive notions of strict convexity.Douglas S. Bridges - 1993 - Mathematical Logic Quarterly 39 (1):295-300.
    Two classically equivalent, but constructively inequivalent, strict convexity properties of a preference relation are discussed, and conditions given under which the stronger notion is a consequence of the weaker. The last part of the paper introduces uniformly rotund preferences, and shows that uniform rotundity implies strict convexity. The paper is written from a strictly constructive point of view, in which all proofs embody algorithms. MSC: 03F60, 90A06.

    The minimax theorem of matrix game theory is examined from a constructive point of view. It is then shown that the existence of solutions for matrix games cannot be proved constructively, but that a 2-by-2 game with at most one solution has a constructible solution.

    Sequential, pointwise, and uniform continuity: A constructive note.Douglas S. Bridges - 1993 - Mathematical Logic Quarterly 39 (1):55-61.
    The main result of this paper is a weak constructive version of the uniform continuity theorem for pointwise continuous, real-valued functions on a convex subset of a normed linear space. Recursive examples are given to show that the hypotheses of this theorem are necessary. The remainder of the paper discusses conditions which ensure that a sequentially continuous function is continuous. MSC: 03F60, 26E40, 46S30.

    (1 other version)Uniform Continuity Properties of Preference Relations.Douglas S. Bridges - 2008 - Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic 49 (1):97-106.
    The anti-Specker property, a constructive version of sequential compactness, is used to prove constructively that a pointwise continuous, order-dense preference relation on a compact metric space is uniformly sequentially continuous. It is then shown that Ishihara's principle BD-ℕ implies that a uniformly sequentially continuous, order-dense preference relation on a separable metric space is uniformly continuous. Converses of these two theorems are also proved.
