Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of geometric objects. We call a point $x \in P$ a strong centerpoint of $P$ w.r.t $\mathcal{F}$ if $x$ is contained in all $F \in \mathcal{F}$ that contains more…

Let X be a non-degenerate, connected, locally path-connected metrizable space and Fin(X) be the hyperspace consisting of non-empty finite subsets in X endowed with the Vietoris topology. In this paper, we show that every compact set in…

Given a topological space $X$, we study the structure of $\infty$-convex subsets in the space $SC_p(X)$ of scatteredly continuous functions on $X$. Our main result says that for a topological space $X$ with countable strong fan tightness,…

For a regular space $X$, the hyperspace $(CL(X), \tau_{F})$ (resp., $(CL(X), \tau_{V})$) is the space of all nonempty closed subsets of $X$ with the Fell topology (resp., Vietoris topology). In this paper, we give the characterization of…

A topological space has the fixed point property if every continuous self-map of that space has at least one fixed point. We demonstrate that there are serious restraints imposed by the requirement that there be a choice of fixed points…

We say that a (countably dimensional) topological vector space $X$ is orbital if there is $T\in L(X)$ and a vector $x\in X$ such that $X$ is the linear span of the orbit ${T^nx:n=0,1,...}$. We say that $X$ is strongly orbital if,…

Assume that $\mathcal{P}$ is a topological property of a space $X$, then we say that $X$ is {\it dense-$\mathcal{P}$} if each dense subset of $X$ has the property $\mathcal{P}$. In this paper, we mainly discuss dense subsets of a space $X$,…

Given a metric continuum $X$, a nonempty proper closed subspace $B$ of $X$, does not block a point $p\in X\setminus B$ provided that the union of all subcontinua of $X$ containing $p$ and contained in $X\setminus B$ is a dense subset of…

The recently introduced continuous Hopfield network (see Ramsauer et al.) exhibits large memorization capabilities, which manifest as attractive fixed points of its update rule -- a differentiable function consisting of two linear mappings…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a real-valued quasiconvex function f on a Baire topological vector space X (in particular, Banach or Frechet space) to be continuous at the points of a residual subset of X. These conditions…

In this paper we define some combinatorial principles to characterize spaces $X$ whose hyperspace satisfies some variation of some classical star selection principle. Specifically, the variations characterized are the selective and absolute…

We prove that a closed convex subset $C$ of a real Hilbert space $X$ has the fixed point property for $(c)$-mappings if and only if $C$ is bounded. Some convergence results about the iterations are obtained.

In this paper, we deal with a hyperspace selection problem in the setting of connected spaces. We present two solutions of this problem illustrating the difference between selections for the nonempty closed sets, and those for the at most…

For a topological space $X$, let $CL(X)$ be the set of all non-empty closed subset of $X$, and denote the set $CL(X)$ with the Vietoris topology by $(CL(X), \mathbb{V})$. In this paper, we mainly discuss the hyperspace $(CL(X), \mathbb{V})$…

Let $X$ be a Hausdorff space and let $\mathcal{H}$ be one of the hyperspaces $CL(X)$, $\mathcal{K}(X)$, $\mathcal{F}(X)$ or $\mathcal{F}_n(X)$ ($n$ a positive integer) with the Vietoris topology. We study the following disconnectedness…

Let P be a set of n points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. A point x is said to be a centerpoint of P if x is contained in every convex object that contains more than $dn\over d+1$ points of P. We call a point x a strong centerpoint for a family of…

For a topological space $X$ a topological contraction on $X$ is a closed mapping $f:X\to X$ such that for every open cover of $X$ there is a positive integer $n$ such that the image of the space $X$ via the $n$th iteration of $f$ is a…

If $f:[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}$, with $a<b$, is continuous and such that $a$ and $b$ are mapped in opposite directions by $f$, then $f$ has a fixed point in $I$. Suppose that $f:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$ is map and $X$ is a continuum. We extend…

A set of points $S \subseteq \mathbb{F}_p^n$ is called \emph{$p$-divisible} if every affine hyperplane in $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ intersects $S$ in $0 \pmod p$ points. The Strong Cylinder Conjecture of Ball asserts that if $S$ is a $p$-divisible…

We construct a consistent example of a topological space $Y=X \cup \{\infty\}$ such that: 1) $Y$ is regular. 2) Every $G_\delta$ subset of $Y$ is open. 3) The point $\infty$ is not isolated, but it is not in the closure of any discrete…
