n-movable compacta and ANR-systems
In 1940, O. G. Harrold showed that no arc can be the exactly 2-to-1 continuous image of a metric continuum, and in 1947 W. H. Gottschalk showed that no dendrite is a 2-to-1 image. In 2003 we show that no arc-connected treelike continuum is the 2-to-1 image of a continuum.
We establish five theorems giving lists of nonlinear contractive conditions which turn out to be mutually equivalent. We derive them from some general lemmas concerning subsets of the plane which may be applied both in the single- or set-valued case as well as for a family of mappings. A separation theorem for concave functions is proved as an auxiliary result. Also, we discuss briefly the following problems for several classes of contractions: stability of procedure of successive approximations,...
We prove that if ℱ is a non-meager P-filter, then both ℱ and are countable dense homogeneous spaces.
Let be a Baire space, be a compact Hausdorff space and be a quasi-continuous mapping. For a proximal subset of we will use topological games and on between two players to prove that if the first player has a winning strategy in these games, then is norm continuous on a dense subset of . It follows that if is Valdivia compact, each quasi-continuous mapping from a Baire space to is norm continuous on a dense subset of .
Let be the class of Banach spaces X for which every weakly quasi-continuous mapping f: A → X defined on an α-favorable space A is norm continuous at the points of a dense subset of A. We will show that this class is stable under c₀-sums and -sums of Banach spaces for 1 ≤ p < ∞.
Let , where is a measurable space, and a topological space. We study inclusions between three classes of extended real-valued functions on which are upper semicontinuous in and satisfy some measurability conditions.
