Topological structure of minimal sets is studied for a dynamical system $(E,F)$ given by a fibre-preserving, in general non-invertible, continuous selfmap $F$ of a graph bundle $E$. These systems include, as a very particular case,…

We discuss some notions of compactness and convergence relative to a specified family F of subsets of some topological space X. The two most interesting particular cases of our construction appear to be the following ones. (1) The case in…

A Hausdorff topological group topology on a group $G$ is the minimum (Hausdorff) group topology if it is contained in every Hausdorff group topology on $G$. For every compact metrizable space $X$ containing an open $n$-cell, $n\ge2$, the…

This article introduces innovative classes of open sets in \(\mathbb{R}^{N}\), where \(N=2, 3\), characterized by a geometric property associated with the inward normal. The focus lies on proving compactness results for the Hausdorff…

A minimal separating set in a connected topological space $X$ is a subset $L \subset X$ with the property that $X \setminus L$ is disconnected, but if $L^{\prime}$ is a proper subset of $L$, then $X \setminus L^{\prime}$ is connected. Such…

For $X$ a separable metric space define $\pp(X)$ to be the smallest cardinality of a subset $Z$ of $X$ which is not a relative $\ga$-set in $X$, i.e., there exists an $\om$-cover of $X$ with no $\ga$-subcover of $Z$. We give a…

We prove that the locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence is distinguished if and only if $X$ is a $\Delta$-space in the sense of \cite…

We investigate connections between resolvability and different forms of tightness. This study is adjacent to [1,2]. We construct a non-regular refinement $\tau^*$ of the natural topology of the real line $\mathbb{R}$ with properties such…

Let $X$ be a topological space. A subset of $C(X)$, the space of continuous real-valued functions on $X$, is a partially ordered set in the pointwise order. Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are topological spaces, and $A(X)$ and $A(Y)$ are subsets…

In this paper we present a result which establishes a connection between the theory of compact operators and the theory of iterated function systems. For a Banach space X, S and T bounded linear operators from X to X such that \parallel S…

Intermediate rings of real valued continuous functions with countable range on a Hausdorff zero-dimensional space $X$ are introduced in this article. Let $\Sigma_c(X)$ be the family of all such intermediate rings $A_c(X)$'s which lie…

For infinite cardinals $\kappa,\lambda$ let $C(\kappa,\lambda)$ denote the class of all compact Hausdorff spaces of weight $\kappa$ and size $\lambda$. So $C(\kappa,\lambda)=\emptyset$ if $\kappa>\lambda$ or $\lambda>2^\kappa$. If F is a…

The main result of this paper is that, under PFA, for every {\em regular} space $X$ with $F(X) = \omega$ we have $|X| \le w(X)^\omega$; in particular, $w(X) \le \mathfrak{c}$ implies $|X| \le \mathfrak{c}$. This complements numerous prior…

The pinning down number $pd(X)$ of a topological space $X$ is the smallest cardinal $\kappa$ such that for every neighborhood assignment $\mathcal{U}$ on $X$ there is a set of size $\kappa$ that meets every member of $\mathcal{U}$. Clearly,…

We provide a rigorous definition of a certain kind of characterization for capacity regions of a family of Markoff networks which is based on optimization problems resulting out of calculating conditional mutual information from a finite…

We show that if $X$ is a separable locally compact Hausdorff connected space with fewer than $\mathfrak c$ non-cut points, then $X$ embeds into a dendrite $D\subseteq \mathbb R ^2$, and the set of non-cut points of $X$ is a nowhere dense…

A topological space $X$ is called almost discrete, if it has precisely one nonisolated point. In this paper, we get that for a countable product $X=\prod X_i$ of almost discrete spaces $X_i$ the space $C_p(X)$ of continuous real-valued…

In a general measure space $(X,\mathcal L,\lambda)$, a characterization of weakly null sequences in $L_\infty (X,\mathcal L,\lambda)$ ($u_k \rightharpoonup 0$) in terms of their pointwise behaviour almost everywhere is derived from the…

For a Polish group G let cov_G be the minimal number of translates of a fixed closed nowhere dense subset of G required to cover G. For many locally compact G this cardinal is known to be consistently larger than cov(meager) which is the…

Let X be a h-homogeneous zero-dimensional compact Hausdorff space, i.e. X is a Stone dual of a homogeneous Boolean algebra. It is shown that the universal minimal space M(G) of the topological group G=Homeo(X), is the space of maximal…
