Function spaces and fixed point properties: a Galois connection.
The concept of the distinguished sets is applied to the investigation of the functionally countable spaces. It is proved that every Baire function on a functionally countable space has a countable image. This is a positive answer to a question of R. Levy and W. D. Rice.
Let X and Y be two Polish spaces. Functions f,g: X → Y are called equivalent if there exists a bijection φ from X onto itself such that g∘φ = f. Using a theorem of J. Saint Raymond we characterize functions equivalent to Borel measurable ones. This characterization answers a question asked by M. Morayne and C. Ryll-Nardzewski.
In this work, we establish new Furi–Pera type fixed point theorems for the sum and the product of abstract nonlinear operators in Banach algebras; one of the operators is completely continuous and the other one is -Lipchitzian. The Kuratowski measure of noncompactness is used together with recent fixed point principles. Applications to solving nonlinear functional integral equations are given. Our results complement and improve recent ones in [10], [11], [17].
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.
