On the proximity generated by entire functions
Approach spaces ([4], [5]) turned out to be a natural setting for the quantification of topological properties. Thus a measure of compactness for approach spaces generalizing the well-known Kuratowski measure of non-compactness for metric spaces was defined ([3]). This article shows that approach uniformities (introduced in [6]) have the same advantage with respect to uniform concepts: they allow a nice quantification of uniform properties, such as total boundedness and completeness.
In this paper, we give characterizations of certain weak-open images of metric spaces.
Let be a sequence of covers of a space such that is a network at in for each . For each , let and be endowed the discrete topology. Put forms a network at some point and by choosing for each . In this paper, we prove that is a sequentially-quotient (resp. sequence-covering, compact-covering) mapping if and only if each is a -cover (resp. -cover, -cover) of . As a consequence of this result, we prove that is a sequentially-quotient, -mapping if and only if it is...
