On relatively contractive relations in pairs of generalized uniform spaces.

Víctor M. Onieva Aleixandre, Javier Ruiz Fernández de Pinedo (1982)

Revista Matemática Hispanoamericana

J. C. Mathews and D. W. Curtis, [4], have introduced some structures which generalize structures of uniform types to the product of two sets, and they obtain a generalized version of Banach's contraction mapping theorem. In this note we prove that these structures are obtained from the usual analogues by means of a particular bijection; hence we do not have a meaningful generalization. For example, this bijection provides, from a result by A. S. Davies, [1], an analogue of Banach's well-known contraction...

On spirals and fixed point property

Roman Mańka (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study the famous examples of G. S. Young [7] and R. H. Bing [2]. We generalize and simplify a little their constructions. First we introduce Young spirals which play a basic role in all considerations. We give a construction of a Young spiral which does not have the fixed point property (see Section 5) . Then, using Young spirals, we define two classes of uniquely arcwise connected curves, called Young spaces and Bing spaces. These classes are analogous to the examples mentioned above. The definitions...
