Topologies, continuity and bisimulations
The notion of a bisimulation relation is of basic importance in many areas of computation theory and logic. Of late, it has come to take a particular significance in work on the formal analysis and verification of hybrid control systems, where system properties are expressible by formulas of the modal μ-calculus or weaker temporal logics. Our purpose here is to give an analysis of the concept of bisimulation, starting with the observation that the zig-zag conditions are suggestive of some...
For every discrete group , the Stone-Čech compactification of has a natural structure of a compact right topological semigroup. An ultrafilter , where , is called right cancellable if, given any , implies . For every right cancellable ultrafilter , we denote by the group endowed with the strongest left invariant topology in which converges to the identity of . For any countable group and any right cancellable ultrafilters , we show that is homeomorphic to if and only if...
In the paper the existing results concerning a special kind of trajectories and the theory of first return continuous functions connected with them are used to examine some algebraic properties of classes of functions. To that end we define a new class of functions (denoted ) contained between the families (widely described in literature) of Darboux Baire 1 functions () and connectivity functions (). The solutions to our problems are based, among other, on the suitable construction of the ring,...
The probability measure functor P carries open continuous mappings of compact metric spaces into Q-bundles provided Y is countable-dimensional and all fibers are infinite. This answers a question raised by V. Fedorchuk.
We discuss various results on the existence of ‘true’ preimages under continuous open maps between -spaces, -lattices and some other spaces. The aim of the paper is to provide accessible proofs of this sort of results for functional-analysts.
