We provide a machinery for transferring some properties of metrizable ANR-spaces to metrizable LCn-spaces. As a result, we show that for completely metrizable spaces the properties ALCn, LCn and WLCn coincide to each other. We also provide the following spectral characterizations of ALCn and celllike compacta: A compactum X is ALCn if and only if X is the limit space of a σ-complete inverse system S = {Xα , pβ α , α < β < τ} consisting of compact metrizable LCn-spaces Xα such that all bonding...

In our previous paper, we introduced the notion of a lonely point, due to P. Simon. A point $p\in X$ is lonely if it is a limit point of a countable dense-in-itself set, it is not a limit point of a countable discrete set and all countable sets whose limit point it is form a filter. We use the space ${𝒢}_{\omega }$ from a paper of A. Dow, A.V. Gubbi and A. Szymański [Rigid Stone spaces within ZFC, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 102 (1988), no. 3, 745–748] to construct lonely points in ${\omega }^{*}$. This answers the question of P. Simon...

Given idempotents e and f in a semigroup, e ≤ f if and only if e = fe = ef. We show that if G is a countable discrete group, p is a right cancelable element of G* = βG∖G, and λ is a countable ordinal, then there is a strictly decreasing chain $⟨q_{\sigma }{⟩}_{\sigma <\lambda }$ of idempotents in $C_p$, the smallest compact subsemigroup of G* with p as a member. We also show that if S is any infinite subsemigroup of a countable group, then any nonminimal idempotent in S* is the largest element of such a strictly decreasing chain of idempotents....

Considering different finite sets of maps generating a pseudogroup G of locally Lipschitz homeomorphisms between open subsets of a compact metric space X we arrive at a notion of a Hausdorff dimension $di{m}_{H}G$ of G. Since $di{m}_{H}G\le di{m}_{H}X$, the dimension loss $d{l}_{H}G=di{m}_{H}X-di{m}_{H}G$ can be considered as a “topological price” one has to pay to generate G. We collect some properties of $di{m}_H$ and $d{l}_H$ (for example, both of them are invariant under Lipschitz isomorphisms of pseudogroups) and we either estimate or calculate $di{m}_{H}G$ for pseudogroups arising...

Let $A={\left(a_{n,k}\right)}_{n,k\ge 1}$ be a non-negative matrix. Denote by $L_{v,p,q,F}\left(A\right)$ the supremum of those $L$ that satisfy the inequality $${\parallel Ax\parallel }_{v,q,F}\ge L{\parallel x\parallel }_{v,p,F},$$ where $x\ge 0$ and $x\in l_p(v,F)$ and also $v={\left(v_n\right)}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ is an increasing, non-negative sequence of real numbers. If $p=q$, we use $L_{v,p,F}\left(A\right)$ instead of $L_{v,p,p,F}\left(A\right)$. In this paper we obtain a Hardy type formula for $L_{v,p,q,F}\left(H_{\mu }\right)$, where $H_{\mu }$ is a Hausdorff matrix and $0<q\le p\le 1$. Another purpose of this paper is to establish a lower bound for $\parallel A_W^{NM}{\parallel }_{v,p,F}$, where $A_W^{NM}$ is the Nörlund matrix associated with the sequence $W={\left\{w_n\right\}}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ and $1<p<\infty$. Our results generalize some works of Bennett, Jameson and present authors....

It is proved that for every continuous lattice there is a unique semiuniform structure generating both the order and the Lawson topology. The way below relation can be characterized with this uniform structure. These results are used to extend many of the analytical properties of real-valued l.s.cḟunctions to l.s.cḟunctions with values in a continuous lattice. The results of this paper have some applications in potential theory.

Under $M{A}_{{\omega }_1}$ every uncountable almost disjoint family is either anti-Luzin or has an uncountable Luzin subfamily. This fails under CH. Related properties are also investigated.

We introduce the notions of Lyapunov quasi-stability and Zhukovskiĭ quasi-stability of a trajectory in an impulsive semidynamical system defined in a metric space, which are counterparts of corresponding stabilities in the theory of dynamical systems. We initiate the study of fundamental properties of those quasi-stable trajectories, in particular, the structures of their positive limit sets. In fact, we prove that if a trajectory is asymptotically Lyapunov quasi-stable, then its limit set consists...

We present a few results and problems related to spaces of continuous functions with the topology of pointwise convergence and the classes of LΣ(≤ ω)-spaces; in particular, we prove that every Gul’ko compact space of cardinality less or equal to $$𝔠$$ is an LΣ(≤ ω)-space.
