An invex function generalizes a convex function in the sense that every stationary point is a global minimizer. Recently, invex functions and their subclasses have attracted attention in signal processing and machine learning. However,…

Consider the self-map F of the space of real-valued test functions on the line which takes a test function f to the test function sending a real number x to f(f(x))-f(0). We show that F is discontinuous, although its restriction to the…

The main aim of the present paper is to introduce new classes of functions called $ \alpha $ $^m $ continuous maps and $ \alpha $ $^m $ irresolute maps. We obtain some characterizations of these classes and properties are studied.
