In this paper, we discuss the existence of fixed points for integral type contractions in uniform spaces endowed with both a graph and an $E$-distance. We also give two sufficient conditions under which the fixed point is unique. Our main…
A smooth map between manifolds is said to be \emph{image simple} if its restriction to its singular point set is a topological embedding. We study the parity of the number of connected components of the singular point set for image simple…
We prove that if a continuous piecewise-smooth map on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is comprised of two linear functions, has a bounded orbit, and satisfies a certain non-degeneracy condition, then it has a fixed point. The result has important…
A set of vertices X of a graph G is convex if it contains all vertices on shortest paths between vertices of X. We prove that for fixed p, all partitions of the vertex set of a bipartite graph into p convex sets can be found in polynomial…
For a separable locally compact but not compact metrizable space $X$, let $\alpha X = X \cup \{x_\infty\}$ be the one-point compactification with the point at infinity $x_\infty$. We denote by $EM(X)$ the space consisting of admissible…
A consistent path system in a graph $G$ is an intersection-closed collection of paths, with exactly one path between any two vertices in $G$. We call $G$ metrizable if every consistent path system in it is the system of geodesic paths…
A centrally symmetric convex body is a convex compact set with non-empty interior that is symmetric about the origin. Of particular interest are those that are both smooth and strictly convex -- known here as regular symmetric bodies --…
In this paper, we study the existence of fixed points for mappings defined on complete, (sequentially compact) cone metric spaces, satisfying a general contractive inequality depending of two additional mappings.
We study the asymptotic dynamics of piecewise contracting maps defined on a compact interval. For maps that are not necessarily injective, but have a finite number of local extrema and discontinuity points, we prove the existence of a…
Adhesive categories are categories which have pushouts with one leg a monomorphism, all pullbacks, and certain exactness conditions relating these pushouts and pullbacks. We give a new proof of the fact that every topos is adhesive. We also…
We examine properties of equidistant sets determined by nonempty disjoint compact subsets of a compact 2-dimensional Alexandrov space (of curvature bounded below). The work here generalizes many of the known results for equidistant sets…
We study oriented connected closed polyhedral surfaces with non-degenerate triangular faces in three-dimensional Euclidean space, calling them polyhedra for short. A polyhedron is called flexible if its spatial shape can be changed…
We construct a Banach space satisfying that the nearest point map (also called proximity mapping or metric projection) onto any compact and convex subset is continuous but not uniformly continuous. The space we construct is locally…
In this paper, we propose criteria for unboundedness of the images of set-valued mappings having closed graphs in Euclidean spaces. We focus on mappings whose domains are non-closed or whose values are connected. These criteria allow us to…
Let $X$ be a regular curve and let $f: X\to X$ be a monotone map. In this paper, nonwandering set of $f$ and the structure of special $\alpha$-limit sets for $f$ are investigated. We show that AP$(f)= \textrm{R}(f) =\Omega(f)$, where…
Variational analysis presents a unified theory encompassing in particular both smoothness and convexity. In a Euclidean space, convex sets and smooth manifolds both have straightforward local geometry. However, in the most basic hybrid case…
In this paper, we investigate the topological structure of solution sets of monotone vector variational inequalities. We show that if the weak Pareto solution set of a monotone vector variational inequality is disconnected, then each…
We obtain sufficient conditions under which the limit of a sequence of functions exhibits a particular dynamical behaviour at a point like expansivity, shadowing, mixing, sensitivity and transitivity. We provide examples to show that the…
In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for self-mappings defined on bipolar metric spaces using a new class of contractive conditions, namely polynomial-type contractions. Our main results establish…
A topological space is nonseparably connected if it is connected but all of its connected separable subspaces are singletons. We show that each connected sequential topological space X is the image of a nonseparably connected complete…
