If X and Y are Tychonoff spaces then the continuous function f mapping X onto Y is said to be compact (perfect, or proper) if it is closed and point inverses are compact. If h is a continuous function mapping X onto Y then by a compactification of h we mean a pair (X*, h*) where X* is Tychonoff and contains X as a dense subspace, and where h*: X*→Y is a compact extension of h. The idea of a mapping compactification first appeared in (7). In (1) it was shown that any compactification of X determines a compactification of h, and that any compactification of h can be determined in this way. This idea was then developed in (2) and (3).

If X is a dense subspace of Y, much is known about the question of when every bounded continuous real-valued function on X extends to a continuous function on Y. Indeed, this is one of the central topics of [5]. In this paper we are interested in the opposite question: When are there continuous bounded real-valued functions on X which extend to no point of Y – X? (Of course, we cannot hope that every function on X fails to extend since the restrictions to X of continuous functions on Y extend to Y.) In this paper, we show that if Y is a compact metric space and if X is a dense subset of Y, then X admits a bounded continuous function which extends to no point of Y – X if and only if X is completely metrizable. We also show that for certain spaces Y and dense subsets X, the set of bounded functions on X which extend to a point of Y – X form a first category subset of C*(X).

AbstractLet C denote the space of continuous functions mapping [0,1] into itself and endowed with the sup metric. It has been shown that C2 = {f ∘ f: ∈ C} is an analytic but non-Borel subset of C. This implies that there is no simple geometric characterization for a function being a square. In this paper we consider the problem of characterizing those functions which can be approximated by squares. In the first section we prove that any continuous function mapping a closed proper subset of [0,1 ] into [0,1 ] can be extended to a square. In particular this shows that C2 is Lp dense in C. On the other hand, C2 does not contain a ball when C is endowed with the sup metric. In the second section we prove that no strictly decreasing function can be uniformly approximated by squares, although the distance between the class of strictly decreasing functions and C2 is zero. In the last section we investigate the function f(x) = 1 − x and show that for every g ∈ C and that ¼ cannot be improved.

AbstractIt is known that if a topological property of Tychonoff spaces is closed-hereditary, productive and possessed by all compact Hausdorff spaces, then each (0-dimensional) Tychonoff space X is a dense subspace of a (0-dimensional) Tychonoff space with such that each continuous map from X to a (0-dimensional) Tychonoff space with admits a continuous extension over . In response to Broverman's question [Canad. Math. Bull. 19 (1), (1976), 13–19], we prove that if for every two 0-dimensional Tychonoff spaces X and Y, if and only if , then is contained in countable compactness.

By a *-compactification of a T0 quasi-uniform space ( X, U ) we mean a compact T0 quasi-uniform space ( Y, V ) that has a T ( V ∨ V−1 )-dense subspace quasi-isomorphic to ( X, U ). We prove that ( X, U ) has a *-compactification if and only if its T0 biocompletion \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{upgreek} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{bbm} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} $$({\tilde X},\tilde {\mathcal{U}})$$ \end{document} is compact.

Suppose that Ф is a topological space equipped with a Hausdorff topology and that T is a continuous function mapping Ф into Ф. We discuss the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of T and the convergence of the Picard sequence of iterates, from the viewpoint of the existence of a homotopy with special properties.

AbstractThe notions of almost somewhat near continuity of functions and near regularity of spaces are introduced. Some properties of almost somewhat nearly continuous functions and their connections are studied. At the end, it is shown that a one-to-one almost somewhat nearly continuous function f from a space X onto a space Y is somewhat nearly continuous if and only if the range of f is nearly regular.

An arc-representation of a graph is a function mapping each vertex in the graph to an arc on the unit circle in such a way that adjacent vertices are mapped to intersecting arcs. The width of such a representation is the maximum number of arcs passing through a single point. The arc-width of a graph is defined to be the minimum width over all of its arc-representations. We extend the work of Barát and Hajnal on this subject and develop a generalization we call restricted arc-width. Our main results revolve around using this to bound arc-width from below and to examine the effect of several graph operations on arc-width. In particular, we completely describe the effect of disjoint unions and wedge sums while providing tight bounds on the effect of cones.
