On linear operators and functors extending pseudometrics

C. Bessaga (1993)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

For some pairs (X,A), where X is a metrizable topological space and A its closed subset, continuous, linear (i.e., additive and positive-homogeneous) operators extending metrics for A to metrics for X are constructed. They are defined by explicit analytic formulas, and also regarded as functors between certain categories. An essential role is played by "squeezed cones" related to the classical cone construction. The main result: if A is a nondegenerate absolute neighborhood retract for...

Minimax theorems with applications to convex metric spaces

Jürgen Kindler (1995)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

A minimax theorem is proved which contains a recent result of Pinelis and a version of the classical minimax theorem of Ky Fan as special cases. Some applications to the theory of convex metric spaces (farthest points, rendez-vous value) are presented.
