Abstract:

In this paper we consider the following property:

$(\circledast^{\mathrm{Da}})$ For every function $f:\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}$ there are functions $g^0_n,g^1_n:\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$

(for $n<\omega$ ) such that

$\begin{displaymath}(\forall x,y\in\mathbb{R} )(f(x,y)=\sum_{n<\omega}g^0_n(x)g^1_n(y)).\end{displaymath}$

We show that, despite some expectation suggested by S. Shelah (1997), $(\circledast^{\mathrm{Da}})$ does not imply $\mathbf{MA}(\sigma\mbox{-centered})$ . Next, we introduce cardinal characteristics of the continuum responsible for the failure of $(\circledast^{\mathrm{Da}})$ .
