On quasi-continuous functions having Darboux property.
In [2] the question was considered in how many directions can a nonmeasurable plane set behave even "better" than the classical one constructed by Sierpiński in [6], in the sense that any line in a given direction intersects the set in at most one point. We considerably improve these results and give a much sharper estimate for the size of the sets of those "better" directions.
We prove that if f: → is Darboux and has a point of prime period different from , i = 0,1,..., then the entropy of f is positive. On the other hand, for every set A ⊂ ℕ with 1 ∈ A there is an almost continuous (in the sense of Stallings) function f: → with positive entropy for which the set Per(f) of prime periods of all periodic points is equal to A.
We show that under appropriate set-theoretic assumptions (which follow from Martin's axiom and the continuum hypothesis) there exists a nowhere meager set A ⊂ ℝ such that (i) the set {c ∈ ℝ: π[(f+c) ∩ (A×A)] is not meager} is meager for each continuous nowhere constant function f: ℝ → ℝ, (ii) the set {c ∈ ℝ: (f+c) ∩ (A×A) = ∅} is nowhere meager for each continuous function f: ℝ → ℝ. The existence of such a set also follows from the principle CPA, which...
For any Borel ideal ℐ we describe the ℐ-Baire system generated by the family of quasi-continuous real-valued functions. We characterize the Borel ideals ℐ for which the ideal and ordinary Baire systems coincide.
The characterization of the pointwise limits of the sequences of Świątkowski functions is given. Modifications of Świątkowski property with respect to different topologies finer than the Euclidean topology are discussed.
We introduce the notions of Kuratowski-Ulam pairs of topological spaces and universally Kuratowski-Ulam space. A pair (X,Y) of topological spaces is called a Kuratowski-Ulam pair if the Kuratowski-Ulam Theorem holds in X× Y. A space Y is called a universally Kuratowski-Ulam (uK-U) space if (X,Y) is a Kuratowski-Ulam pair for every space X. Obviously, every meager in itself space is uK-U. Moreover, it is known that every space with a countable π-basis is uK-U. We prove the following: ...
We introduce new properties of Hamel bases. We show that it is consistent with ZFC that such Hamel bases exist. Under the assumption that there exists a Hamel basis with one of these properties we construct a discontinuous and additive function that is Marczewski measurable. Moreover, we show that such a function can additionally have the intermediate value property (and even be an extendable function). Finally, we examine sums and limits of such functions.
We compare several conditions sufficient for maximal resolvability of topological spaces. We prove that a space is maximally resolvable provided that for a dense set and for each the -character of at is not greater than the dispersion character of . On the other hand, we show that this implication is not reversible even in the class of card-homogeneous spaces.
