Let (f, M, X,P) be a Ponomarev-system. We prove that f is a compact-covering mapping iff P is a strong k-network of X. Furthermore, f is a compact-covering, s-mapping iff P is a point-countable cfp-network (or pointcountable strong k-network) of X. As an application of these results, a pointcountable cover of a space is a strong k-network iff it is a cfp-network, where “point-countable” can not...

This paper gives additional data for experiments presented in previous work on hierarchically consistent test problems. The experiments utilize Hierarchical-if-and-only-if (H-IFF), the basic example of a hierarchically consistent building-block problem, and several variants of H-IFF designed to enable the difficulty of the function to be ‘tuned’. We review the H-IFF function and its variants, a...
