In a previous paper we considered a sequence of maps on a complete metric space $(X,d)$ and derived an extension of the Banach fixed point theorem. We showed that backward trajectories of maps $X\to X$ converge under mild conditions and…

A.Chigogidze defined for each normal functor on the category Comp an extension which is a normal functor on the category Tych. We consider this extension for any functor on the category Comp and investigate which properties it preserves…

Let $\precsim$ be a reflexive binary relation on a topological space $(X, \tau )$. A pair $(u,v)$ of continuous real-valued functions on $(X, \tau )$ is said to be a {\em continuous representation} of $\precsim$ if, for all $x,y \in X$,…

In this paper we model discontinuous extended real functions in pointfree topology following a lattice-theoretic approach, in such a way that, if $L$ is a subfit frame, arbitrary extended real functions on $L$ are the elements of the…

We develop a unified T-extended framework for weakly contractive, weakly Kannan, and Geraghty classes of self-maps S on a metric space (X, d), where distances are measured on the auxiliary image via d(Tx, Ty), and the dynamics is governed…

A space $Y$ is called an {\em extension} of a space $X$ if $Y$ contains $X$ as a dense subspace. Two extensions of $X$ are said to be {\em equivalent} if there is a homeomorphism between them which fixes $X$ point-wise. For two (equivalence…

Let $\Delta_m$ be the standard $m$-dimensional simplex of non-negative $m+1$ tuples that sum to unity and let $S$ be a nonempty subset of $\Delta_m$. A real valued function $h$ defined on a convex subset of a real vector space is $S$-almost…

We consider compact Lie groups extensions of expanding maps of the circle, essentially restricting to U(1) and SU(2) extensions. The central object of the paper is the associated Ruelle transfer (or pull-back) operator $\hat{F}$. Harmonic…

Given a contraction of a variety X to a base Y, we enhance the locus in Y over which the contraction is not an isomorphism with a certain sheaf of noncommutative rings D, under mild assumptions which hold in the case of (1) crepant partial…

In this paper we extend certain central results of zero dimensional systems to higher dimensions. The first main result shows that if (Y,f) is a finitely presented system, then there exists a Smale space (X,F) and a u-resolving factor map…

We show that the typical nonexpansive mapping on a small enough subset of a CAT($\kappa$)-space is a contraction in the sense of Rakotch. By typical we mean that the set of nonexpansive mapppings without this property is a $\sigma$-porous…

A function $f:X\to \mathbb R$ defined on a topological space $X$ is called returning if for any point $x\in X$ there exists a positive real number $M_x$ such that for every path-connected subset $C_x\subset X$ containing the point $x$ and…

It is well known that unital contractive representations of the disk algebra are completely contractive. Let A denote the subalgebra of the disk algebra consisting of those functions f whose first derivative vanishes at 0. We prove that…

In this paper, we study the properties of closure operators obtained as initial lifts along a reflector, and compactness with respect to them in particular. Applications in the areas of topology, topological groups and topological…

We describe the proper absolute (neighborhood) extensors for the class of at most $n$-dimensional spaces, notation $\rm{A(N)E}_p(n)$. For example, the unique locally compact $n$-dimensional separable metric space $X\in\rm{AE}_p(n)$…

In this work we prove that if $X$ is a complete locally convex space and $f:X\to \mathbb{R}\cup \{+\infty \}$ is a function such that $f-x^\ast$ attains its minimum for every $x^\ast \in U$, where $U$ is an open set with respect to the…

We study sets $V$ in the tridisc that are relatively polynomially convex and have the polynomial extension property. If $V$ is one-dimensional, and is either algebraic, or has polynomially convex projections, we show that it is a retract.…

We study the problem of approximating compactly-supported integrable functions while implementing their support set using feedforward neural networks. Our first main result transcribes this "structured" approximation problem into a…

Let $X$ be a space. A space $Y$ is called an extension of $X$ if $Y$ contains $X$ as a dense subspace. For an extension $Y$ of $X$ the subspace $Y\backslash X$ of $Y$ is called the remainder of $Y$. Two extensions of $X$ are said to be…

In this paper (as in [Ken15]), we consider an effective version of the characterization of separable metric spaces as zero-dimensional iff every nonempty closed subset is a retract of the space (actually, it is a relative result for closed…
