compactifications and representations of transformation semigroups
this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...
15 صفحه اولEscaping the 'Evil Avenger' and the 'Supercrip': Images of Disability in Popular Television

Whereas media treatment of women, the gay community, or ethnic minorities has received considerable academic attention, no such priority has been given to the nature of the...
متن کاملVisibility Representations of Complete Graphs
In this paper we study 3-dimensional visibility representations of complete graphs. The vertices are represented by equal regular polygons lying in planes parallel to the xy-plane. Two vertices are adjacent if and only if the two corresponding polygons see each other i.e. it is possible to construct an abscissa perpendicular to the xy-plane connecting the two polygons and avoiding all the other...
متن کاملDAGmaps and ε-Visibility Representations of DAGs
DAGmaps are space filling visualizations of DAGs that generalize treemaps. Deciding whether or not a DAG admits a DAGmap is NP-complete. Recently we defined a special case called one-dimensional DAGmap where the admissibility is decided in linear time. However there is no complete characterization of the class of DAGs that admit a onedimensional DAGmap. In this paper we prove that a DAG admits ...
