Auxiliary relations and sandwich theorems

Authors: Chris God, Achim Jung, Robin Knight, and Ralph Kopperman

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4351, Spatial Representation: Discrete vs. Continuous Computational Models (2005)

Abstract
A well-known topological theorem due to Kat\v etov states: Suppose $(X,\tau)$ is a normal topological space, and let $f:X\to[0,1]$ be upper semicontinuous, $g:X\to[0,1]$ be lower semicontinuous, and $f\leq g$. Then there is a continuous $h:X\to[0,1]$ such that $f\leq h\leq g$. We show a version of this theorem for many posets with auxiliary relations. In particular, if $P$ is a Scott domain and $f,g:P\to[0,1]$ are such that $f\leq g$, and $f$ is lower continuous and $g$ Scott continuous, then for some $h$, $f\leq h\leq g$ and $h$ is both Scott and lower continuous. As a result, each Scott continuous function from $P$ to $[0,1]$, is the sup of the functions below it which are both Scott and lower continuous.

What do partial metrics represent?

Authors: Ralph Kopperman, Steve Matthews, and Homeira Pajoohesh

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4351, Spatial Representation: Discrete vs. Continuous Computational Models (2005)

Abstract
Partial metrics were introduced in 1992 as a metric to allow the distance of a point from itself to be non zero. This notion of self distance, designed to extend metrical concepts to Scott topologies as used in computing, has little intuition for the mainstream Hausdorff topologist. The talk will show that a partial metric over a set can be represented by a metric over that set with a so-called 'base point'. Thus we establish that a partial metric is essentially a structure combining both a metric space and a skewed view of that space from the base point. From this we can deduce what it is that partial metrics are really all about.

04351 Summary – Spatial Representation: Discrete vs. Continuous Computational Models

Authors: Ralph Kopperman, Prakash Panangaden, Michael B. Smyth, Dieter Spreen, and Julian Webster

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4351, Spatial Representation: Discrete vs. Continuous Computational Models (2005)

Abstract
Topological notions and methods are used in various areas of the physical sciences and engineering, and therefore computer processing of topological data is important. Separate from this, but closely related, are computer science uses of topology: applications to programming language semantics and computing with exact real numbers are important examples. The seminar concentrated on an important approach, which is basic to all these applications, i.e. spatial representation.
