Monotonic mappings on ordered sets, a class of inequalities with finite differences and fixed points.
Let be an uncountable regular cardinal and a topological group. We prove the following statements: (1) If is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of , is Abelian, and the order of every non-neutral element of is greater than then embeds in as a closed subspace. (2) If is Abelian, algebraically generated by , and the order of every element does not exceed then is not embeddable in . (3) There exists an Abelian topological group such that is homeomorphic to a closed subspace...
We show that there exists an Abelian topological group such that the operations in cannot be extended to the Dieudonné completion of the space in such a way that becomes a topological subgroup of the topological group . This provides a complete answer to a question of V.G. Pestov and M.G. Tkačenko, dating back to 1985. We also identify new large classes of topological groups for which such an extension is possible. The technique developed also allows to find many new solutions to the...
We define a metric , called the shape metric, on the hyperspace of all non-empty compact subsets of a metric space X. Using it we prove that a compactum X in the Hilbert cube is movable if and only if X is the limit of a sequence of polyhedra in the shape metric. This fact is applied to show that the hyperspace , dS)2ℝ2
In this paper we introduce a class of maps possessing a multivalued homotopy lifting property with respect to every topological space. We call these maps multifibrations and they represent a formally stronger concept than that of shape fibration. Multifibrations have the interesting property of being characterized in a completely intrinsic way by a path lifting property involving only the total and the base space of the fibration. We also show that multifibrations (and also, with some restrictions,...
A brief account of the connections between Carathéodory multifunctions, Scorza-Dragoni multifunctions, product-measurable multifunctions, and superpositionally measurable multifunctions of two variables is given.
Fractals and multivalued fractals play an important role in biology, quantum mechanics, computer graphics, dynamical systems, astronomy and astrophysics, geophysics, etc. Especially, there are important consequences of the iterated function (or multifunction) systems theory in several topics of applied sciences. It is known that examples of fractals and multivalued fractals are coming from fixed point theory for single-valued and multivalued operators, via the so-called fractal and multi-fractal...
