Openness Of Induced Projections, J. J. Charatonik, W. J. Charatonik, Alejandro Illanes Jun 2000

Openness Of Induced Projections, J. J. Charatonik, W. J. Charatonik, Alejandro Illanes

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

For continua X and Y it is shown that if the projection f : X x Y ->X has its induced mapping C(f) open, then X is C*-smooth. As a corollary, a characterization of dendrites in these terms is obtained.


Dendrites And Light Open Mappings, J. J. Charatonik, W. J. Charatonik, Pawel Krupski Feb 2000

Dendrites And Light Open Mappings, J. J. Charatonik, W. J. Charatonik, Pawel Krupski

It is shown that a metric continuum X is a dendrite if and only if for every compact space Y and for every light open mapping f : Y ->f(Y ) such that X c f(Y ) there is a copy X1 of X in Y for which the restriction fjX1 : X1 ->X is a homeomorphism. Another characterization of dendrites in terms of continuous selections of multivalued functions is also obtained.


Inverse Limits On [0,1] Using Piecewise Linear Unimodal Bonding Maps, William Thomas Ingram Jan 2000

Inverse Limits On [0,1] Using Piecewise Linear Unimodal Bonding Maps, William Thomas Ingram

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper we investigate inverse limits on [0,1] using a single bonding map chosen from a two-parameter family of piecewise linear unimodal bonding maps. This investigation focuses on the parameter values at the boundary between a hereditarily decomposable inverse limit and an inverse limit containing an indecomposable continuum. © 1999 American Mathematical Society.


Remarks On The Prandtl Equation For A Permeable Wall, R. Temam, X. Wang Jan 2000

Remarks On The Prandtl Equation For A Permeable Wall, R. Temam, X. Wang

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The goal of this article is to study the boundary layer for a flow in a channel with permeable walls. Observing that the Prandtl equation can be solved almost exactly in this case, we are able to derive rigorously a number of results concerning the boundary layer and the convergence of the Navier-Stokes equations to the Euler equations. We indicate also how to derive higher order terms in the inner and outer expansions with respect to the kinematic viscosity v.
