On semi-closed sets and semi-open sets and their applications
In [7], M. Levin proved that the set of all Bing maps of a compact metric space to the unit interval is a dense -subset of the space of all maps. In [6], J. Krasinkiewicz independently proved that the set of all Bing maps of a compact metric space to an n-dimensional manifold (n ≥ 1) is a dense -subset of the space of maps. In [9], J. Song and E. D. Tymchatyn, solving some problems of J. Krasinkiewicz ([6]), proved that the set of all Bing maps of a compact metric space to a nondegenerate connected...
A sequence (f n)n of functions f n: X → ℝ almost decreases (increases) to a function f: X → ℝ if it pointwise converges to f and for each point x ∈ X there is a positive integer n(x) such that f n+1(x) ≤ f n (x) (f n+1(x) ≥ f n(x)) for n ≥ n(x). In this article I investigate this convergence in some families of continuous functions.
Starting with a very simple proof of Frol’ık’s theorem on homeomorphisms of extremally disconnected spaces, we show how this theorem implies a well known result of Malychin: that every extremally disconnected topological group contains an open and closed subgroup, consisting of elements of order . We also apply Frol’ık’s theorem to obtain some further theorems on the structure of extremally disconnected topological groups and of semitopological groups with continuous inverse. In particular, every...
In this paper we shall introduce notions of F-universality and F-e-universality for maps between compact Hausdorff spaces and explore the behaviour of these properties under the operation of composition of maps. We consider both the quest for conditions on maps f and g which would imply that their composition g o f is either F-universal or F-e-universal and the quest for consequences on f and g when the composition g o f is either F-universal or F-e-universal. In our approach F is an arbitrary class...
