Generalized Archimedean spaces and expansivity

From MaRDI portal





In the paper under review the authors introduce a technical notion of \(N\)-Archimedean spaces, for every \(N\in\mathbb{N}\). These spaces are to be ``totally opposed to non-Archimedean spaces, and extend the notion of Archimedean spaces, which coincides with the notion of 1-Archimdean spaces introduced here. The main result of the paper (Theorem 2) states that a continuous map \(f\) of an \((N-1)\)-Archimedean space \(X\) is \(N\)-expansive, but not \((N-1)\)-expansive, if and only if it is \((N+1)\)-expansive and \(N\)-filled, but not \((N-1)\)-filled. The notion of \(N\)-expansiveness was introduced by the second author in [Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 32, No. 1, 293--301 (2012; Zbl 1263.37017)], whereas for a map to be \(N\)-filled is a technical term introduced in the present paper. Unfortunately, the paper does not explain any motivation for the study, other than that nobody has done it before.
