Flow compactifications of nondiscrete monoids, idempotents and Hindman’s theorem

Richard N. Ball, James N. Hagler (2003)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We describe the extension of the multiplication on a not-necessarily-discrete topological monoid to its flow compactification. We offer two applications. The first is a nondiscrete version of Hindman’s Theorem, and the second is a characterization of the projective minimal and elementary flows in terms of idempotents of the flow compactification of the monoid.

Generalized tri-quotient maps and Čech-completeness

Themba Dube, Vesko M. Valov (2001)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

For a topological space X let 𝒦 ( X ) be the set of all compact subsets of X . The purpose of this paper is to characterize Lindelöf Čech-complete spaces X by means of the sets 𝒦 ( X ) . Similar characterizations also hold for Lindelöf locally compact X , as well as for countably K -determined spaces X . Our results extend a classical result of J. Christensen.

Hereditarily normal Katětov spaces and extending of usco mappings

Ivailo Shishkov (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Several classes of hereditarily normal spaces are characterized in terms of extending upper semi-continuous compact-valued mappings. The case of controlled extensions is considered as well. Applications are obtained for real-valued semi-continuous functions.

Infinite Iterated Function Systems: A Multivalued Approach

K. Leśniak (2004)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We prove that a compact family of bounded condensing multifunctions has bounded condensing set-theoretic union. Compactness is understood in the sense of the Chebyshev uniform semimetric induced by the Hausdorff distance and condensity is taken w.r.t. the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness. As a tool, we present an estimate for the measure of an infinite union. Then we apply our result to infinite iterated function systems.
