Nonlinear contractive conditions: A comparison and related problems

Jacek Jachymski, Izabela Jóźwik (2007)

Banach Center Publications

We establish five theorems giving lists of nonlinear contractive conditions which turn out to be mutually equivalent. We derive them from some general lemmas concerning subsets of the plane which may be applied both in the single- or set-valued case as well as for a family of mappings. A separation theorem for concave functions is proved as an auxiliary result. Also, we discuss briefly the following problems for several classes of contractions: stability of procedure of successive approximations,...

Non-locally compact Polish groups and two-sided translates of open sets

Maciej Malicki (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

This paper is devoted to the following question. Suppose that a Polish group G has the property that some non-empty open subset U is covered by finitely many two-sided translates of every other non-empty open subset of G. Is then G necessarily locally compact? Polish groups which do not have the above property are called strongly non-locally compact. We characterize strongly non-locally compact Polish subgroups of S in terms of group actions, and prove that certain natural classes of non-locally...

Nonmeasurable algebraic sums of sets of reals

Marcin Kysiak (2005)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We present a theorem which generalizes some known theorems on the existence of nonmeasurable (in various senses) sets of the form X+Y. Some additional related questions concerning measure, category and the algebra of Borel sets are also studied.

Nonmetrizable topological dynamical characterization of central sets

Hong-Ting Shi, Hong-Wei Yang (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Without the restriction of metrizability, topological dynamical systems ( X , T s s G ) are defined and uniform recurrence and proximality are studied. Some well known results are generalized and some new results are obtained. In particular, a topological dynamical characterization of central sets in an arbitrary semigroup (G,+) is given and shown to be equivalent to the usual algebraic characterization.

Nonnormality of remainders of some topological groups

Aleksander V. Arhangel'skii, J. van Mill (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

It is known that every remainder of a topological group is Lindelöf or pseudocompact. Motivated by this result, we study in this paper when a topological group G has a normal remainder. In a previous paper we showed that under mild conditions on G , the Continuum Hypothesis implies that if the Čech-Stone remainder G * of G is normal, then it is Lindelöf. Here we continue this line of investigation, mainly for the case of precompact groups. We show that no pseudocompact group, whose weight is uncountable...

Non-normality points and nice spaces

Sergei Logunov (2021)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

J. Terasawa in " β X - { p } are non-normal for non-discrete spaces X " (2007) and the author in “On non-normality points and metrizable crowded spaces” (2007), independently showed for any metrizable crowded space X that each point p of its Čech–Stone remainder X * is a non-normality point of β X . We introduce a new class of spaces, named nice spaces, which contains both of Sorgenfrey line and every metrizable crowded space. We obtain the result above for every nice space.

Nonnormality points of βX∖X

William Fleissner, Lynne Yengulalp (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X be a crowded metric space of weight κ that is either κ ω -like or locally compact. Let y ∈ βX∖X and assume GCH. Then a space of nonuniform ultrafilters embeds as a closed subspace of (βX∖X)∖y with y as the unique limit point. If, in addition, y is a regular z-ultrafilter, then the space of nonuniform ultrafilters is not normal, and hence (βX∖X)∖y is not normal.

Non-self mappings in modular spaces and common fixed point theorems

Abdolrahman Razani, Valdimir Rakočević, Zahraa Goodarzi (2010)

Open Mathematics

The aim of this paper, is to introduce the convex structure (specially, Takahashi convex structure) on modular spaces. Moreover, we are interested in proving some common fixed point theorems for non-self mappings in modular space.

Nonseparable Radon measures and small compact spaces

Grzegorz Plebanek (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We investigate the problem if every compact space K carrying a Radon measure of Maharam type κ can be continuously mapped onto the Tikhonov cube [ 0 , 1 ] κ (κ being an uncountable cardinal). We show that for κ ≥ cf(κ) ≥ κ this holds if and only if κ is a precaliber of measure algebras. Assuming that there is a family of ω 1 null sets in 2 ω 1 such that every perfect set meets one of them, we construct a compact space showing that the answer to the above problem is “no” for κ = ω. We also give alternative proofs...
