There are theorems in which some classes of topological spaces are characterized by means of properties of mappings of these spaces into a single space. For example, it is well known that a compactum X is at most n-dimensional if and only if no mapping of X irto an (n + l)-cube has a stable value [5, Theorems VI. 1-2, pp. 75-77]. Also, a curve X is tree-like if and only if no mapping of X into a figure eight is homotopically essential [1, Theorem 1, pp. 74-75; 8, p. 91]. By a curve we mean any at most 1-dimensional continuum; a continuum is a connected compactum; a compactum is a compact metric space, and a mapping is a continuous function. The aim of the present paper is to prove another theorem of this type. We distinguish a class of curves and show that it is characterized by imposing the condition that no weakly confluent mapping [13] can transform the given curve onto a simple triod (see 2.4). A related result is applied to a generalized branch-point covering theorem (see 3.2). In addition, two results are obtained in which we establish some characterizations of weakly confluent images and preimages of the product of the Cantor set and an arc (see 1.1 and 2.2). Continua that are such images turn out to be identical with regular curves (see 1.3).

AbstractThe investigations of the smooth points in the spaces of continuous function were started by Banach in 1932 considering function space $$\mathcal {C}(\Omega )$$ C ( Ω ) . Singer and Sundaresan extended the result of Banach to the space of vector valued continuous functions $$\mathcal {C}(\mathcal {T},E)$$ C ( T , E ) , where $$\mathcal {T}$$ T is a compact metric space. The aim of this paper is to present a description of semi-smooth points in spaces of continuous functions $$\mathcal {C}_0(\mathcal {T},E)$$ C 0 ( T , E ) (instead of smooth points). Moreover, we also find necessary and sufficient condition for semi-smoothness in the general case.

If X is a dense subspace of Y, much is known about the question of when every bounded continuous real-valued function on X extends to a continuous function on Y. Indeed, this is one of the central topics of [5]. In this paper we are interested in the opposite question: When are there continuous bounded real-valued functions on X which extend to no point of Y – X? (Of course, we cannot hope that every function on X fails to extend since the restrictions to X of continuous functions on Y extend to Y.) In this paper, we show that if Y is a compact metric space and if X is a dense subset of Y, then X admits a bounded continuous function which extends to no point of Y – X if and only if X is completely metrizable. We also show that for certain spaces Y and dense subsets X, the set of bounded functions on X which extend to a point of Y – X form a first category subset of C*(X).

AbstractJ. B. Diaz and F. T. Metcalf established some results concerning the structure of the set of cluster points of a sequence of iterates of a continuous self-map of a metric space. In this paper it is shown that their conclusions remain valid if the distance function in their inequality is replaced by a continuous function on the product space. Then this idea is extended to some other mappings and to uniform and general topological spaces.

In this paper we prove that any ergodic measurably distal system can be realized as a minimal topologically distal system with an invariant Borel measure of full support. The proof depends upon a theorem stating that every measurable function from a measurable system with its base space being a compact metric space to a connected compact group is cohomologous to a continuous function.

We introduce the new concept of pointwise measurability. It is shown in this paper that a measurable function is measurable at each point and that for a large class of topological spaces the converse also holds. Moreover it can be seen that a function which is continuous at a point is Borel-measurable at this point too. Furthermore the set of measurability points is considered. If the range space is a $\sigma$-compact metric space, then this set is a $G_{\delta}$-set; if the range space is only a Polish space this is in general not true any longer.

We construct an approximating chain of simple valuations on the upper space of a compact metric space whose lub is a given probability measure on the metric space. We show that whenever a separable metric space is homeomorphic to a Gδ subset of an ω-continuous dcpo equipped with its Scott topology, the space of probability measures of the metric space equipped with the weak topology is homeomorphic with a subset of the maximal elements of the probabilistic power domain of the ω-continuous dcpo. Given an effective approximation of a probability measure by an increasing chain of normalised valuations on the upper space of a compact metric space, we show that the expected value of any Hölder continuous function on the space can be obtained up to any given accuracy. We present a novel application in computing integrals in dynamical systems. We obtain an algorithm to compute the expected value of any Hölder continuous function with respect to the unique invariant measure of the Feigenbaum map in the periodic doubling route to chaos.

AbstractLet Q denote the rationals, P the irrationals, C the Cantor set and L the space C − {p} (where p ∈ C). Let f : X → Y be a perfect continuous surjection. We show: (1) If X ∈ {Q, P, Q × P}, or if f is irreducible and X ∈ {C, L}, then Y is homeomorphic to X if Y is zero-dimensional. (2) If X ∈ {P, C, L} and f is irreducible, then there is a dense subset S of Y such that f|f ← [S] is a homeomorphism onto S. However, if Z is any σ-compact nowhere locally compact metric space then there is a perfect irreducible continuous surjection from Q × C onto Z such that each fibre of the map is homeomorphic to C.

A continuum will be a connected, compact, metric space. By a mapping we mean a continuous function. By a partially ordered space X we mean a continuum X together with a partial order which is closed when regarded as a subset of X × X. We let 2x (resp. C(X)) denote the hyperspace of closed subsets (resp. subcontinua) of X with the Vietoris topology which coincides with the topology induced by the Hausdorff metric. The hyperspaces 2X and C(X) are arcwise connected metric continua (see [3, Theorem 2.7]). If A ⊂ X we let C(A) denote the subspace of subcontinua of X which lie in A.If X is a partially ordered space we define two functions L, M : X → 2X by setting for each x ∊ X
