Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the Banach contraction principle proved by S. G. Matthews in 1994 on 0--complete partial metric spaces can be extended to cyclical mappings. However, the generalized contraction principle proved by D. Ilić, V. Pavlović and V. Rakoucević in "Some new extensions of Banach's contraction principle to partial metric spaces, Appl. Math. Lett. 24 (2011), 1326--1330" on complete partial metric spaces can not be extended to cyclical mappings. Some examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results. Moreover, we generalize some of the results obtained by W. A. Kirk, P. S. Srinivasan and P. Veeramani in "Fixed points for mappings satisfying cyclical contractive conditions, Fixed Point Theory 4 (1) (2003),79--89". Finally, an Edelstein's type theorem is also extended in case one of the sets in the cyclic decomposition is 0-compact.

Sobriety of Scott topologies under countability conditions

In this paper, we focus on the sobriety of the Scott topology in countable case. Specifically, we show that: (1) every meet-continuous core-compact countable dcpo is sober with respect to the Scott topology; (2)every countable locally compact dcpo is sober endowed with the Scott topology; (3) the lattice of all open sets for the rational numbers space Q equipped with the Scott topology is not sober.

Exponentiable Objects and Function spaces in Lowen Fuzzy Topological Spaces

We study exponentiable objects and function spaces in the category of stratified Lowen fuzzy topological spaces over $\I=[0,1]$. Using the Lowen fuzzy Sierpiński object $\Sier$, which identifies $τ_X$ with $C(X,\Sier)$, we explicitly determine the largest splitting topology on this mapping set. Its open weights $Φ:τ_X\to\I$ are precisely those satisfying Scott continuity and a finite-tier compatibility condition induced by finite powers of $\Sier$. This yields an intrinsic characterization: $X$ is exponentiable if and only if every $μ\inτ_X$ satisfies \[ μ=\bigvee_{λ\triangleleftΦ} (\const{Φ(μ)}\wedgeλ), \qquad λ\triangleleftΦ \Longleftrightarrow \const{Φ(ν)}\wedgeλ\leqν \quad(ν\inτ_X). \] When this condition holds, $Y^X$ has underlying set $C(X,Y)$, with topology generated by $[Φ,v](f)=Φ(v\circ f)$. We also obtain a dual closed-set formulation and three applications. Exponentiability implies that $τ_X$ is a continuous lattice, although the converse fails. Moreover, a classical space $X$ is exponentiable exactly when its induced fuzzy space $ωX$ is exponentiable in the entire stratified Lowen category. Finally, Lowen compact, strongly fuzzy compact, and $N$-compact Hausdorff spaces are exponentiable.

Super calibers in topological spaces and topological hyperspaces

We study the notion of a super caliber of a topological space, which is closely related to the classical notion of caliber and has appeared in the literature under several different names. We collect and unify several known results and establish new results concerning the collections of super calibers of topological spaces and their hyperspaces. In particular, we investigate the relationship between the super calibers of a space $X$ and those of hyperspaces $\mathcal{H}(X)$ lying between $\mathrm{CL}(X)$ and $\mathcal{F}(X)$. For infinite metrizable spaces, we characterize several cases in which $\mathsf{SC}(X)$ and $\mathsf{SC}(\mathrm{CL}(X))$ differ and establish an independence result over \textsf{ZFC}; see Theorem~5.12.
