Usco And Quasicontinuous Mappings

This book presents two natural generalizations of continuous mappings, namely usco and quasicontinuous mappings. The first class considers set-valued mappings, the second class relaxes the definition of continuity. Both these topological concepts stem naturally from basic mathematical considerations and have numerous applications that are covered in detail.

This book contains selected chapters on recent research in topology. It bridges the gap between recent trends of topological theories and their applications in areas like social sciences, natural sciences, soft computing, economics, theoretical chemistry, cryptography, pattern recognitions and granular computing. There are 14 chapters, including two chapters on mathematical economics from the perspective of topology. The book discusses topics on function spaces, relator space, preorder, quasi-uniformities, bitopological dynamical systems, b-metric spaces and related fixed point theory. This book is useful to researchers, experts and scientists in studying the cutting-edge research in topology and related areas and helps them applying topology in solving real-life problems the society and science are facing these days.

Separate and Joint Continuity presents and summarises the main ideas and theorems that have been developed on this topic, which lies at the interface between General Topology and Functional Analysis (and the geometry of Banach spaces in particular). The book offers detailed, self-contained proofs of many of the key results. Although the development of this area has now slowed to a point where an authoritative book can be written, many important and significant problems remain open, and it is hoped that this book may serve as a springboard for future and emerging researchers into this area. Furthermore, it is the strong belief of the authors that this area of research is ripe for exploitation. That is to say, it is their belief that many of the results contained in this monograph can, and should be, applied to other areas of mathematics. It is hoped that this monograph may provide an easily accessible entry point to the main results on separate and joint continuity for mathematicians who are not directly working in this field, but who may be able to exploit some of the deep results that have been developed over the past 125 years. Features Provides detailed, self-contained proofs of many of the key results in the area Suitable for researchers and postgraduates in topology and functional analysis Is the first book to offer a detailed and up-to-date summary of the main ideas and theorems on this topic

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Unity of Logic and Computation, CiE 2023, held in Batumi, Georgia, during July 24–28, 2023. The 23 full papers and 13 invited papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 51 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: ​Degree theory; Proof Theory; Computability; Algorithmic Randomness; Computational Complexity; Interactive proofs; and Combinatorial approaches.

Spaces of homogeneous type were introduced as a generalization to the Euclidean space and serve as a sufficient setting in which one can generalize the classical isotropic Harmonic analysis and function space theory. This setting is sometimes too general, and the theory is limited. Here, we present a set of flexible ellipsoid covers of Rn that replace the Euclidean balls and support a generalization of the theory with fewer limitations.

This book provides an introduction to topological groups and the structure theory of locally compact abelian groups, with a special emphasis on Pontryagin-van Kampen duality, including a completely self-contained elementary proof of the duality theorem. Further related topics and applications are treated in separate chapters and in the appendix.

This carefully written text on measure theory with applications to partial differential equations covers general measure theory, Lebesgue spaces of real-valued and vector-valued functions, different notions of measurability for the latter, weak convergence of functions and measures, Radon and Young measures, capacity, and finally applications to quasilinear parabolic problems (in particular, forward-backward equations).
