A note on sequence-covering mappings

Summary Let f: X → Y be a mapping. f is called a sequence-covering mapping if in case S is a convergent sequence containing its limit point in Y then there is a compact subset K of X such that f(K) = S. It is shown that each quotient and compact mapping of a metric space is sequence-covering.     

Almost biased mappings and almost compatible mappings are equivalent under some condition

The concepts of almost biased mappings and almost compatible mappings are introduced. Some variants of these concepts are also discussed. A common fixed point theorem for a pair of almost I-biased mappings in metric spaces is proved under certain condition. In the sequel, it is shown that almost biased mappings and almost compatible mappings are equivalent under some condition.     

Generating continuous mappings with Lipschitz mappings

If is a metric space, then and denote the semigroups of continuous and Lipschitz mappings, respectively, from to itself. The relative rank of modulo is the least cardinality of any set where generates . For a large class of separable metric spaces we prove that the relative rank of modulo is uncountable. When is the Baire space , this rank is . A large part of the paper emerged from discussions about the necessity of the assumptions imposed on the class of spaces from the aforementioned results.

     

Pseudolinear fuzzy mappings

Two classes of fuzzy mappings, called pseudolinear and η-pseudolinear fuzzy mappings are introduced by relaxing the definitions of pseudo-convex and pseudo-invex fuzzy mappings. First, some characterizations of pseudolinear and η-pseudolinear fuzzy mappings are obtained. Then, characterizations of the solution sets of pseudolinear and η-pseudolinear fuzzy programs are derived.     

A note on harmonic quasiconformal mappings

In this note we show that a harmonic quasiconformal mapping f=u+iv with respect to the Poincaré metric of the upper half plane onto itself such that v(x,y)=v(y) or u(x,y)=u(x) is a conformal mapping.     

Generalization of preinvex and B-vex fuzzy mappings

A class of fuzzy mappings, called B-preinvex, and strictly B-preinvex fuzzy mappings, is introduced by relaxing the definition of preinvexity of a fuzzy mapping. Similarly, based on a notion of differentiability of fuzzy mappings different from the usual one, the class of pseudo-B-vex, B-invex, and pseudo-B-invex fuzzy mappings is defined as a generalization of pseudo-convex, invex, and pseudo-invex fuzzy mappings. We prove that a strictly B-vex, or B-preinvex fuzzy mapping has at most one global minimum point, and that the class of B-vex fuzzy mappings forms a subset of the class of quasi-convex fuzzy mappings. B-vex (resp. B-preinvex) fuzzy mappings satisfy most of the basic properties of convex (resp. preinvex) fuzzy mappings. In addition characterizations and sufficient optimality conditions are obtained for B-vex and B-preinvex fuzzy mappings.     

Harmonic mappings onto stars

A general version of the Radó-Kneser-Choquet theorem implies that a piecewise constant sense-preserving mapping of the unit circle onto the vertices of a convex polygon extends to a univalent harmonic mapping of the unit disk onto the polygonal domain. This paper discusses similarly generated harmonic mappings of the disk onto nonconvex polygonal regions in the shape of regular stars. Calculation of the Blaschke product dilatation allows a determination of the exact range of parameters that produce univalent mappings.     

Relevant mappings

Motivated by the study of risk measures in mathematical finance, we study the relationship between the relevance and no arbitrage properties of a specific class of mappings acting on ordered vector spaces. Our findings justify the relationships between these two properties, a theoretical primer in the literature.     

On random variational inclusions with random fuzzy mappings and random relaxed cocoercive mappings

In this paper, we introduce and study the random variational inclusions with random fuzzy and random relaxed cocoercive mappings. We define an iterative algorithm for finding the approximate solutions of this class of variational inclusions and establish the convergence of iterative sequences generated by proposed algorithm. Our results improve and generalize many known corresponding results.     

On harmonic typically real mappings

In this paper, we prove that a univalent orientation-preserving harmonic mapping defined on the unit disk U with the normalization f(0)=0, , is a typically real mapping, if f(U) is a starlike domain with respect to the origin or f(U) is convex in one direction.     

Quasiconformal and harmonic mappings between Jordan domains

Let Ω and Ω₁ be Jordan domains, let μ ∈ (0, 1], and let be a harmonic homeomorphism. The object of the paper is to prove the following results: (a) If f is q.c. and ∂Ω, ∂Ω₁ ∈ C ^1,μ , then f is Lipschitz; (b) if f is q.c., ∂Ω, ∂Ω₁ ∈ C ^1,μ and Ω₁ is convex, then f is bi-Lipschitz; and (c) if Ω is the unit disk, Ω₁ is convex, and ∂Ω₁ ∈ C ^1,μ , then f is quasiconformal if and only if its boundary function is bi-Lipschitz and the Hilbert transform of its derivative is in L ^∞. These extend the results of Pavlović (Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn. 27:365–372, 2002).      

Fixed point theorems for random pseudo-contractive mappings

Very recently in Fierro et al. (2009) [6], we obtained a general principle to prove the existence of Random Fixed Point Theorems. As a consequence of this, we have been able to obtain various generalizations for pseudo-contractive mappings with rather simple proofs. In addition, while we were deriving these extensions for random operators, some deterministic results arose, which also appear to be new.     

Convergence and finite determination of formal CR mappings

It is shown that a formal mapping between two real-analytic hypersurfaces in complex space is convergent provided that neither hypersurface contains a nontrivial holomorphic variety. For higher codimensional generic submanifolds, convergence is proved e.g. under the assumption that the source is of finite type, the target does not contain a nontrivial holomorphic variety, and the mapping is finite. Finite determination (by jets of a predetermined order) of formal mappings between smooth generic submanifolds is also established.

     

Boundary behaviour of the mappings satisfying generalized inverse modular inequalities

We study the geometric properties of the mappings for which generalized inverse modular inequalities hold. We generalize in this way known theorems from the theory of analytic mappings and the theory of quasiregular mappings, like the theorems of Fatou, M. and F. Riesz, Beurling and Lindelöf and their extensions given for quasiregular mappings by Martio, Rickman and Vuorinen.     

On the uniqueness problem of harmonic quasiconformal mappings

In this paper, we give an affirmative answer to Sheretov's problem on the uniqueness of harmonic mappings and improve the unique minimal mapping theorem of Reich and Strebel. Meanwhile, we also solve a problem posed by Reich and obtain the uniqueness theorem on related weight functions.

     

On pseudomonotone set-valued mappings

In this paper a common generalization of the algebraic and topological pseudomonotonicity for set-valued maps is introduced. Existence results for variational inequalities governed by such maps are given.
