WEAK FORMS OF OPENNESS BASED UPON DENSENESS

Authors: C. W. BAKER

Abstract: A function is defined to be hardly open provided that the inverse image of each dense subset of the codomain that is contained in a proper open set is dense in the domain. This form of weak openness is shown to be strictly between near feeble openness and somewhat openness. Characterizations and properties of hardly open functions are presented.

Keywords: hardly open, nearly feebly open, somewhat open. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. 54 C 10.
