In this paper, we introduce and investigate the concepts of down continuity and down compactness. A real valued function $f$ on a subset $E$ of $\R$, the set of real numbers is down continuous if it preserves downward half Cauchy sequences,…

Boundary analysis is developed for a rich class of generally infinite weighted graphs with compact metric completions. These graph completions have totally disconnected boundaries. The classical notion of $\epsilon$-components and the…

It is known that every homeomorphism of the plane has a fixed point in a non-separating, invariant subcontinuum. Easy examples show that a branched covering map of the plane can be periodic point free. In this paper we show that any…

The problem of finding graph structure of functions commuting with a given function in terms of their functional graphs is considered. Structure of functional graphs of commuting functions is described. The problem is reduced to describing…

We introduce and study a new type of mappings in metric spaces termed $n$-point Kannan-type mappings. A fixed-point theorem is proved for these mappings. In general case such mappings are discontinuous in the domain but necessarily…

The entropy $h(T_\alpha)$ of $\alpha$-continued fraction transformations is known to be locally monotone outside a closed, totally disconnected set $\EE$. We will exploit the explicit description of the fractal structure of $\EE$ to…

This paper constructs a continuous decomposition of the Sierpi\'nski curve into acyclic continua one of which is an arc. This decomposition is then used to construct another continuous decomposition of the Sierpi\'nski curve. The resulting…

For a symmetric bounded measurable function W on [0,1]^2, "moments" of W can be defined as values t(F,W) indexed by simple graphs. We prove that every such function is determined by its moments up to a measure preserving transformation of…

It is shown that for any locally knotted edge of a 3-connected graph in $S^3$, there is a ball that contains all of the local knots of that edge and is unique up to an isotopy setwise fixing the graph. This result is applied to the study of…

A topological space is nonseparably connected if it is connected but all of its connected separable subspaces are singletons. We show that each connected first countable space is the image of a nonseparably connected complete metric space…

A map $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is skeletal if the preimage $f^{-1}(A)$ of each nowhere dense subset $A\subset Y$ is nowhere dense in $X$. We prove that a normal functor $F:Comp\to Comp$ is skeletal (which means that $F$…

We revisit the definition of effective local compactness, and propose an approach that works for arbitrary countably-based spaces extending the previous work on computable metric spaces. We use this to show that effective local compactness…

We prove the following generalization of the Cartwright-Littlewood fixed point theorem. Suppose $ h\colon~{\mathbb R}^{2}\to{\mathbb R}^{2} $ is an orientation preserving planar homeomorphism, and $ X $ is an acyclic continuum. Let $ C $ be…

We introduce moment maps for continuous unitary representations of general topological groups. For solvable separable locally compact groups, we prove that the closure of the image of the moment map of any representation is convex.

We give a new proof of the result that if f and g are transcendental entire functions, then the composite function f(g) has infinitely many fixed points. The method yields a number of generalization of this result. In particular, it extends…

We give a unified approach to analysing, for each positive integer $s$, a class of finite connected graphs that contains all the distance transitive graphs as well as the locally $s$-arc transitive graphs of diameter at least $s$. A graph…

Contraction of an edge merges its end points into a new vertex which is adjacent to each neighbor of the end points of the edge. An edge in a $k$-connected graph is {\em contractible} if its contraction does not result in a graph of lower…

In these notes, uniform convergence on compacta is studied on the space of functions taking values in the set of finite Borel measures. Related limit theorems, including L\'evy's continuity theorem and functional limit theorems for…

In this paper, we study the existence of fixed points for mappings defined on complete (compact) metric space (X, d) satisfying a general contractive (contraction) inequality depended on another function. These conditions are analogous to…

Local complementation of a graph $G$ on vertex $v$ is an operation that results in a new graph $G*v$, where the neighborhood of $v$ is complemented. Two graph are locally equivalent if on can be reached from the other one through local…
