Injectivity onto a star-shaped set for local homeomorphisms in n-space
We provide a number of either necessary and sufficient or only sufficient conditions on a local homeomorphism defined on an open, connected subset of the n-space to be actually a homeomorphism onto a star-shaped set. The unifying idea is the existence of "auxiliary" scalar functions that enjoy special behaviours along the paths that result from lifting the half-lines that radiate from a point in the codomain space. In our main result this special behaviour is monotonicity, and the auxiliary function...
Inverse Function Theorems and Jacobians over Metric Spaces
We present inversion results for Lipschitz maps f : Ω ⊂ ℝN → (Y, d) and stability of inversion for uniformly convergent sequences. These results are based on the Area Formula and on the l.s.c. of metric Jacobians.
