Approximation of the Hausdorff distance by the distance of continuous surjections (Q861948): Difference between revisions

The main aim is to answer the following question: let \((X,\rho)\) and \((Y,d)\) be metric spaces, let \(A,\;B \subset Y\) be continuous images of the space \(X\) and let \(f:X\to A\) be a fixed continuous surjection. When is the inequality \( d_H (A,B)\leq\inf \{d_{\sup}:g \in C(X,Y),\;g(X)=B\} \) replaced by the equality ? His answer is stated in Theorem~4.1: If \(X\) is a metric space of type (S), (the notion is given by Definition~2.1) and \(A\) and \(B\) are its continuous images, then the equality holds for a completely arbitrarily fixed surjection \(f\).
