We present two examples of nice normal spaces X having the property that for some xed-point free homeomorphism on X its Cech-Stone extension has a xed point. One of the spaces presented here is locally countable, locally compact, separable , normal, countably paracompact and weakly zero-dimensional. The other one is hereditarily normal and strongly zero-dimensional. Our construction of this exa...

We show that a space is MCP (monotone countable paracompact) if and only if it has property (∗), introduced by Teng, Xia and Lin. The relationship between MCP and stratifiability is highlighted by a similar characterization of stratifiability. Using this result, we prove that MCP is preserved by both countably biquotient closed and peripherally countably compact closed mappings, from which it f...

Let E be a topological vector space and X be a non-empty subset of E. Let S : X → 2X and T : X → 2E be two maps. Then the generalized quasi-variational inequality (GQVI) problem is to find a point ŷ ∈ S(ŷ) and a point ŵ ∈ T (ŷ) such that Re〈ŵ, ŷ − x〉 ≤ 0 for all x ∈ S(ŷ). We shall use Chowdhury and Tan’s 1996 generalized version of Ky Fan’s minimax inequality as a tool to obtain some general th...

According to Mack a space is countably paracompact if and only if its product with [0, 1] is δ-normal, i.e. any two disjoint closed sets, one of which is a regular Gδ-set, can be separated. In studying monotone versions of countable paracompactness, one is naturally led to consider various monotone versions of δ-normality. Such properties are the subject of this paper. We look at how these prop...
