We prove a stability of weakly almost conformal mappings in W 1,p(Ω;Rn) for p not too far below the dimension n by studying the W 1,pquasiconvex hull of the set Cn of conformal matrices. The study is based on coercivity estimates from the nonlinear Hodge decompositions and reverse Hölder inequalities from the Ekeland variational principle.

In this paper we answer a question of Wayne Lewis by proving that if X is a one-dimensional, hereditarily indecomposable continuum and if HX(X) is finitely generated, then C(X), the hyperspace of subcontinua of X, has dimension 2. Let C(A) be the hyperspace of subcontinua of the continuum X with the topology determined by the Hausdorff metric. A classical theorem of J. L. Kelley [4] asserts tha...

We use a new construction in the spirit of Gromov’s convex integration to prove a rather surprising result that every affine map is the boundary value of a weakly quasiregular map in any Sobolev space with index p < n/2. Our method is based on constructing special Cauchy sequences by convex integration for certain vectorial Hamilton–Jacobi equations.  2000 Académie des sciences/Éditions scient...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of fuzzy α-weakly r-continuous mapping on a fuzzy topological space and investigate some properties of such a mapping and the relationships among fuzzy α-weakly r-continuity, fuzzy r-continuity and fuzzy weakly r-continuity.

Results are obtained about the existence and behavior of hereditarily weakly confluent maps of continua onto the unit circle S1. A simple and useful necessary and sufficient condition is given for a map of a continuum, X, onto S1 to be hereditarily weakly confluent (HWC). It is shown that when X is arcwise connected, an HWC map of X onto S1 is monotone with arcwise connected fibers. A number of...
