The point-to-set principle of J. Lutz and N. Lutz (2018) has recently enabled the theory of computing to be used to answer open questions about fractal geometry in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{R}^n$. These are classical questions, meaning that…

We introduce the metric space valued in partially ordered groups, and define the convergence of sequences and the multi-valued weak contractions, etc., on the space. We then establish endpoint theorems for the defined maps. Our…

Around 1930, K. Menger expressed his interest in the concept of abstract angle function. He introduced a general definition of this notion for metric and semi-metric spaces. He also proposed two problems concerning conformal embeddability…

In this article, we generalize some frequently used metrical notions such as: completeness, closedness, continuity, g-continuity and compatibility to relation-theoretic setting and utilize these relatively weaker notions to prove results on…

We present a simple generalization of $W$-spaces introduced by G. Gruenhage. We show that this generalization leads to a strictly larger class of topological spaces which we call $\widetilde W$-spaces, and we provide several applications.…

We show that for each Orlicz space properly contained in L^1 there is a sequence along which the ergodic averages converge for functions in the Orlicz space, but diverge for all f in L^1. This extends the work of K. Reinhold, who, building…
