Simplicial ramified covering maps

In this paper we define the concept of a ramified covering map in the category of simplicial sets and we show that it has properties analogous to those of the topological ramified covering maps. We show that the geometric realization of a simplicial ramified covering map is a topological ramified covering map, and we also consider the relation with ramified covering maps in the category of simp...

STAR-COUNTABLE k-NETWORKS, COMPACT-COUNTABLE k-NETWORKS, AND RELATED RESULTS

In the theory of generalized metric spaces, the notion of knetworks has played an important role. Every locally separable metric space or CW-complex, more generally, every space dominated by locally separable metric spaces has a star-countable k-network. Every LaSnev space, as well as, every space dominated by LaSnev spaces has a a-compact-finite knetwork. We recall that every space has a compa...

Covering compact metric spaces greedily

Abstract. A general greedy approach to construct coverings of compact metric spaces by metric balls is given and analyzed. The analysis is a continuous version of Chvátal’s analysis of the greedy algorithm for the weighted set cover problem. The approach is demonstrated in an exemplary manner to construct efficient coverings of the n-dimensional sphere and n-dimensional Euclidean space to give ...
