Quasi-compactness and decompositions for arbitrary relations

Stanley Joseph Wertheimer

Vol. 37 (1971), No. 1, 253–263
Abstract

If T is a relation, X the set of first elements and Y a set containing all the second elements, T(x) = {y Y |(x,y) T} and T1(y) = {x X|(x,y) T}. If T(x) T(y) is nonempty implies that T(x) = T(y), the relation T is semi-single-valued (ssv). Every ssv surjection defines a decomposition of X into point inverses and a decomposition of Y into point images. G. T. Whyburn has analyzed the ssv surjection T on X to Y in terms of these decomposition spaces and the natural mappings onto these spaces. He discusses quasi-compactness for ssv relations. It is the purpose of this paper to extend Whyburn’s analysis to include all relations.
