In this paper, we introduce the notion of $\alpha$--contractive mapping of Meir--Keeler type in complete metric spaces and prove new theorems which assure the existence, uniqueness and iterative approximation of the fixed point for this…
It is well known that axiom of choice implies the existence of non-measurable sets for Lebesgue's measure on R as well as the existence of "paradoxical" decompositions of the unit ball of R^3 (Banach-Tarski). This is generally interpreted…
Generalised Sierpinski carpets are planar sets that generalise the well-known Sierpinski carpet and are defined by means of sequences of patterns. We study the structure of the sets at the kth iteration in the construction of the…
This issue contains a number of abstracts of papers directly related to selection principles, some of which presented at the conference SPMC2012, and the announcement of the solution of Malyhin's Problem.
V. G. Pestov described a neighborhood base at the identity of the Markov free topological group $F(X)$ on a Tychonoff space $X$ in terms of the fine uniformity on $X$. In this paper, an analogue of Pestov's description for the Markov free…
In classical covering space theory, a covering map induces an injection of fundamental groups. This paper reveals a dual property for certain quotient maps having connected fibers, with applications to orbit spaces of vector fields and leaf…
We study relations between minimal usco and cusco maps.
The ultrametrization of the set of all probability measures of compact support on the ultrametric spaces was first defined by Hartog and de Vink. In this paper we consider a similar construction for the so called max-min measures on the…
We consider a new class of open covers and classes of spaces defined from them, called "iota spaces". We explore their relationship with epsilon-spaces (that is, spaces having all finite powers Lindelof) and countable network weight. An…
Inspired by work of Scheepers and Tall, we use properties defined by topological games to provide bounds for the cardinality of topological spaces. We obtain a partial answer to an old question of Bell, Ginsburg and Woods regarding the…
Suppose that $X$ is a subspace of a Tychonoff space $Y$. Then the embedding mapping $e_{X, Y}: X\rightarrow Y$ can be extended to a continuous monomorphism $\hat{e}_{X, Y}: AP(X)\rightarrow AP(Y)$, where $AP(X)$ and $AP(Y)$ are the free…
We mainly introduce some weak versions of the $M_{1}$-spaces, and study some properties about these spaces. The mainly results are that: (1) If $X$ is a compact scattered space and $i(X)\leq 3$, then $X$ is an $s$-$m_{1}$-space; (2) If $X$…
In this paper, we mainly discuss some generalized metric properties and the character of the free paratopological groups, and extend several results valid for free topological groups to free paratopological groups.
A space $X$ is said to be $\pi$-metrizable if it has a $\sigma$-discrete $\pi$-base. In this paper, we mainly give affirmative answers for two questions about $\pi$-metrizable spaces. The main results are that: (1) A space $X$ is…
In this paper, we firstly construct a Hausdorff non-submetrizable paratopological group $G$ in which every point is a $G_{\delta}$-set, which gives a negative answer to Arhangel'ski\v{\i}\ and Tkachenko's question [Topological Groups and…
Given a knot diagram $D$, we construct a semi-threading circle for it which can be an axis of $D$ as a closed braid depending on knot diagrams. In particular, we consider semi-threading circles for minimal diagrams of a knot with respect to…
Starting from filters over the set of indices, we introduce structures in a product of sets where the coordinate sets have the given structures.
Nonstandard analysis is very complex, so finding a simple description of infinitesimal points will be useful. In this paper, ultrafilters as infinitesimal points in a topological space will be proposed, and some topological concepts is…
We examine domain-valued maxitive measures defined on the Borel subsets of a topological space. Several characterizations of regularity of maxitive measures are proved, depending on the structure of the topological space. Since every…
Let $X$ be a non-empty set and let $\mathcal{F}$ be any $C^{\ast}$-subalgebra of $\ell ^{\infty}(X)$ containing the constant functions. We show that the spectrum of $\mathcal{F}$ can be considered as a space of certain filters determined by…
