A function space from a compact metrizable space to a dendrite with the hypo-graph topology
Let X be an infinite compact metrizable space having only a finite number of isolated points and Y be a non-degenerate dendrite with a distinguished end point v. For each continuous map ƒ : X → Y , we define the hypo-graph ↓vƒ = ∪ x∈X {x} × [v, ƒ (x)], where [v, ƒ (x)] is the unique arc from v to ƒ (x) in Y . Then we can regard ↓v C(X, Y ) = {↓vƒ | ƒ : X → Y is continuous} as the subspace of the hyperspace Cld(X × Y ) of nonempty closed sets in X × Y endowed with the Vietoris topology. Let [...]...
