Let h be a homeomorphism of a closed two-dimensional disk D and let Fix(h) denote the set of fixed points of h. We say that h has trivial dynamics if the omega limit set of every orbit [h( p)]n # Z , p # D, is included in Fix(h). In general, the dynamics of a homeomorphism of the disk can be very intricate and one cannot expect this simple behavior unless additional assumptions are imposed. In ...

We classify, up to homeomorphism, all closed manifolds having the homotopy type of a connected sum of two copies of real projective n-space. 1. Statement of results Let P = Pn(R) be real projective n-space. López de Medrano [LdM71] and C.T.C. Wall [Wal68, Wal99] classified, up to PL homeomorphism, all closed PL manifolds homotopy equivalent to P when n > 4. This was extended to the topological ...

Recall that a homeomorphism is a continuous bijection with a continuous inverse. Definition 1.1. Let U be a domain in R. Consider vector fields X,Y ∈ X(U) with flows F , F : I × U → U , where I is an open interval in R such that 0 ∈ I. The dynamics of X and Y is said to be C-equivalent if there exists a homeomorphism φ : U → U with the following property: for all t ∈ I there exists a t′ ∈ I suc...

i.e., if every fER attains its maximum modulus on C. As a matter of convenience, we shall, in this paper, abbreviate "maximum modulus algebra on K" to "ilf-algebra." Examples of Af-algebras which come to mind immediately are (a) the algebra ft consisting of all functions which are continuous on K and analytic in U, (b) any subalgebra of ft, (c) any algebra (B which is equivalent to an algebra o...

Topology, or analysis situs, has often been regarded as the study of those properties of point sets (in Euclidean space or in abstract spaces) that are invariant under “homeomorphisms.” Besides the modern concept of homeomorphism, at least three other concepts were used in this context during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and regarded (by various mathematicians) as characterizing topo...

Crystalline molecular solid solutions are discussed on the basis of homeomorphism and heteromorphism blended molecules.
