Reflective functors via nearness
Let S(X) denote the set of all closed subsets of a topological space X, and C(X) the set of all continuous mappings f:X → X. A family 𝓐 ⊆ S(X) is called reflexive if there exists ℱ ⊆ C(X) such that 𝓐 = {A ∈ S(X): f(A) ⊆ A for every f ∈ ℱ}. We investigate conditions ensuring that a family of closed subsets is reflexive.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 46E15, 54C55; Secondary 28B20.For weakly compact subsets of Hilbert spaces K, we study the existence of totally disconnected spaces L, such that C(K) is isomorphic to C(L). We prove that the space C(BH ) admits a Pełczyński decomposition and we provide a starshaped weakly compact K, subset of BH with non-empty interior in the norm topology, and such that C(K) ~= C(L) with L totally disconnected.Research partially supported by EPEAEK program “Pythagoras”....
We introduce and study a new class of locally convex vector lattices of continuous functions on a locally compact Hausdorff space, which we call regular vector lattices. We investigate some general properties of these spaces and of the subspaces of so-called generalized affine functions. Moreover, we present some Korovkin-type theorems for continuous positive linear operators; in particular, we study Korovkin subspaces for finitely defined operators, for the identity operator and for positive...
Let X be a Tikhonov space, C(X) be the space of all continuous real-valued functions defined on X, and CL(X×ℝ) be the hyperspace of all nonempty closed subsets of X×ℝ. We prove the following result: Let X be a locally connected locally compact paracompact space, and let F ∈ CL(X×ℝ). Then F is in the closure of C(X) in CL(X×ℝ) with the Vietoris topology if and only if: (1) for every x ∈ X, F(x) is nonempty; (2) for every x ∈ X, F(x) is connected; (3) for every isolated x ∈ X, F(x) is a singleton...
