Continuous \(k\)-to-\(1\) functions between complete graphs of even order (Q960933)

The authors determine whether there are finitely discontinuous, or just infinitely discontinuous, \(k\)-to-\(1\) functions between two intervals, each of which is one of \(]0,1[\), \([0,1[\), or \([0,1]\). They then show that for \(k\) even and \(1\leq r< 2s\), \((r,s)\neq (1,1)\) and \((r,s)\neq(3,2)\), there is a \(k\)-to-\(1\) map from \(K_{2r}\) onto \(K_{2s}\) (regarded as subspaces of \(\mathbb{R}^3\)) if and only if \(k\geq 2s\).
