Covering space theory for directed topology.
This paper was extensively circulated in manuscript form beginning in the Summer of 1989. It is being published here for the first time in its original form except for minor corrections, updated references and some concluding comments.
The purpose of this article is to present fixed point results for multivalued E ≤-contractions on ordered complete gauge space. Our theorems generalize and extend some recent results given in M. Frigon [7], S. Reich [12], I.A. Rus and A. Petruşel [15] and I.A. Rus et al. [16].
On conjecture que certains espaces localement étoilés admettent toujours une jolie stratification naturelle, et deviennent ainsi ce qu’on appelle des ensembles. On cite quelques propriétés agréables des ensembles, et quelques exemples exotiques qui distinguent les ensembles, les espaces triangulables, et les espaces localement triangulables.
We investigate whether in the setting of approach spaces there exist measures of relative compactness, (relative) sequential compactness and (relative) countable compactness in the same vein as Kuratowski's measure of compactness. The answer is yes. Not only can we prove that such measures exist, but we can give usable formulas for them and we can prove that they behave nicely with respect to each other in the same way as the classical notions.
