In this paper we define a notion of S-extension for a metric space and study minimality and coherence of S-extensions. We show that every S-extension can be identified with an algebraic object. We use this algebraic representation to give a…

We first prove that for every metrizable space $X$, for every closed subset $F$ whose complement is zero-dimensional, the space $X$ can be embedded into a product space of the closed subset $F$ and a metrizable zero-dimensional space as a…

In a spherically complete ultrametric space, a strictly contracting mapping has a fixed point. We indicate in this paper how this fixed point can either be reached or approximated.

A number of topics involving metrics and measures are discussed, including some of the special structure associated with ultrametrics.

In this paper, for a metrizable space $Z$, we consider the space of metrics that generate the same topology of $Z$, and that space of metrics is equipped with the supremum metrics. For a metrizable space $X$ and a closed subset $A$ of it,…

We prove that any closed map between metrizable spaces can be extended to a closed map between completely metrizable spaces with the same extensional dimension.

Extension dimension is characterized in terms of $\omega$-maps. We apply this result to prove that extension dimension is preserved by refinable maps between metrizable spaces. It is also shown that refinable maps preserve some…

For a bounded metric space X, we define a metric on the set of all finite subsets of X. This generalizes the sequence-subset distance introduced by Wentu Song, Kui Cai and Kees A. Schouhamer Immink to study error correcting codes for DNA…

Functions whose composition with every metric is a metric are said to be metric-preserving. In this article, we investigate a variation of the concept of metric-preserving functions where metrics are replaced by ultrametrics.

Measurable sets are defined as those locally approximable, in a certain sense, by sets in the given algebra (or ring). A corresponding measure extension theorem is proved. It is also shown that a set is locally approximable in the mentioned…

Some examples and basic properties of ultrametric spaces are briefly discussed.

Given a metric pair $(X,A)$, i.e. a metric space $X$ and a distinguished closed set $A \subset X$, one may construct in a functorial way a pointed pseudometric space $\mathcal{D}_\infty(X,A)$ of persistence diagrams equipped with the…

We introduce the so--called doubling metric on the collection of non--empty bounded open subsets of a metric space. Given a subset $U$ of a metric space $X$, the predecessor $U_{*}$ of $U$ is defined by doubling the radii of all open balls…

Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space and let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ denote the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$. Define $I \colon \mathcal{M}(X) \to \R$ by \[ I(\mu) = \int_X \int_X d(x,y) d\mu(x) d\mu(y), \] and set $M(X) =…

An ultrametric preserving function $f$ is said to be strongly ultrametric preserving if ultrametrics $d$ and $f \circ d$ define the same topology on $X$ for each ultrametric space $(X,d)$. The set of all strongly ultrametric preserving…

Suppose that a metric space $X$ is the union of two metric subspaces $A$ and $B$ that embed into Euclidean space with distortions $D_A$ and $D_B$, respectively. We prove that then $X$ embeds into Euclidean space with a bounded distortion…

Let $X$, $Y$ be sets and let $\Phi$, $\Psi$ be mappings with domains $X^{2}$ and $Y^{2}$ respectively. We say that $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are combinatorially similar if there are bijections $f \colon \Phi(X^2) \to \Psi(Y^{2})$ and $g \colon Y…

If $X$ is a (topological) space, the $n$th finite subset space of $X$, denoted by $X(n)$, consists of $n$-point subsets of $X$ (i.e., nonempty subsets of cardinality at most $n$) with the quotient topology induced by the unordering map…

A metric space is indivisible if for any partition of it into finitely many pieces one piece contains an isometric copy of the whole space. Continuing our investigation of indivisible metric spaces, we show that a countable ultrametric…

The paper deals with pretangent spaces to general metric spaces. An ltrametricity criterion for pretangent spaces is found and it is closely related to the metric betweenness in the pretangent spaces.
