Finite dimensional covers of metric-fine spaces
In his paper "Continuous mappings on continua" [5], T. Maćkowiak collected results concerning mappings on metric continua. These results are theorems, counterexamples, and unsolved problems and are listed in a series of tables at the ends of chapters. It is the purpose of the present paper to provide solutions (three proofs and one example) to four of those problems.
Let K be a compact Hausdorff space, the space of continuous functions on K endowed with the pointwise convergence topology, D ⊂ K a dense subset and the topology in C(K) of pointwise convergence on D. It is proved that when is Lindelöf the -compact subsets of C(K) are fragmented by the supremum norm of C(K). As a consequence we obtain some Namioka type results and apply them to prove that if K is separable and is Lindelöf, then K is metrizable if, and only if, there is a countable and dense...
In the paper, three different ways of constructing distances between vaguely described objects are shown: a generalization of the classic distance between subsets of a metric space, distance between membership functions of fuzzy sets and a fuzzy metric introduced by generalizing a metric space to fuzzy-metric one. Fuzzy metric spaces defined by Zadeh’s extension principle, particularly to are dealt with in detail.
