On decomposing the plane into connected or one-to-one curves
In this paper two Denjoy type extensions of the Pettis integral are defined and studied. These integrals are shown to extend the Pettis integral in a natural way analogous to that in which the Denjoy integrals extend the Lebesgue integral for real-valued functions. The connection between some Denjoy type extensions of the Pettis integral is examined.
The two main results of this paper are the following: (a) If X is a Banach space and f : [a,b] → X is a function such that x*f is Denjoy integrable for all x* ∈ X*, then f is Denjoy-Dunford integrable, and (b) There exists a Dunford integrable function which is not Pettis integrable on any subinterval in [a,b], while belongs to for every subinterval J in [a,b]. These results provide answers to two open problems left by R. A. Gordon in [4]. Some other questions in connection with Denjoy-Dundord...
The problem of linearity of a multivalued derivative and consequently the problem of necessary and sufficient conditions for derivo-periodic multifunctions are investigated. The notion of a derivative of multivalued functions is understood in various ways. Advantages and disadvantages of these approaches are discussed.
Defining the complexity of a green pattern exhibited by an interval map, we give the best bounds of the topological entropy of a pattern with a given complexity. Moreover, we show that the topological entropy attains its strict minimum on the set of patterns with fixed eccentricity m/n at a unimodal X-minimal case. Using a different method, the last result was independently proved in[11].
