Abstract. A set in a metric space is called a Čebyšev set if it has a unique “nearest neighbour” to each point of the space. In this paper we generalize this notion, defining a set to be Čebyšev relative to another set if every point in the second set has a unique “nearest neighbour” in the first. We are interested in Čebyšev sets in some hyperspaces over Rn, endowed with the Hausdorff metric, mainly the hyperspaces of compact sets, compact convex sets, and strictly convex compact sets. We present some new classes of Čebyšev and relatively Čebyšev sets in various hyperspaces. In particular, we show that certain nested families of sets are Čebyšev. As these families are characterized purely in terms of containment,without reference to the semi-linear structure of the underlyingmetric space, their properties differ markedly from those of known Čebyšev sets.

The polynomials Pd,λ(z)≔λ[1+(z/d)]dconverge uniformly on compact sets to Eλ(z)≔λez. What this convergence means for the dynamics of these functions when iterated was first studied in Devaney et al. [preprint]. Here we show the convergence of the corresponding Julia sets in the Hausdorff metric for two cases: (1) for λ such that Eλ has an attracting periodic orbit, in which case its Julia set is a Cantor set of curves, and (2) for λ such that the Julia set of Eλ is the whole plane [Formula: see text]. Finally, we give the key ideas of the algorithms designed to illustrate this convergence.

A simple characterisation is given of compact sets of the space K(X), of nonempty compact subsets of a complete metric space X, with the Hausdorff metric dH. It is used to give a new proof of the Blaschke selection theorem for compact starshaped sets.

Motivated by set estimation problems, we consider three closely related shape conditions for compact sets: positive reach, r-convexity, and the rolling condition. First, the relations between these shape conditions are analyzed. Second, for the estimation of sets fulfilling a rolling condition, we obtain a result of ‘full consistency’ (i.e. consistency with respect to the Hausdorff metric for the target set and for its boundary). Third, the class of uniformly bounded compact sets whose reach is not smaller than a given constant r is shown to be a P-uniformity class (in Billingsley and Topsøe's (1967) sense) and, in particular, a Glivenko-Cantelli class. Fourth, under broad conditions, the r-convex hull of the sample is proved to be a fully consistent estimator of an r-convex support in the two-dimensional case. Moreover, its boundary length is shown to converge (almost surely) to that of the underlying support. Fifth, the above results are applied to obtain new consistency statements for level set estimators based on the excess mass methodology (see Polonik (1995)).

We present some relations between deformation of spherical isometric foldings and deformation of spherical f-tilings. The natural way to deform f-tilings is based on the Hausdorff metric on compact sets. It is conjectured that any f-tiling is (continuously) deformable in the standard f-tiling τs= {(x, y, z) ∈ S2: z = 0} and it is shown that the deformation of f-tilings does not induce a continuous deformation on its associated isometric foldings.

This chapter introduces the concept of stable completion and provides a concrete representation of unit vector Mathematical Double-Struck Capital A superscript n in terms of spaces of semi-lattices, with particular emphasis on the frontier between the definable and the topological categories. It begins by constructing a topological embedding of unit vector Mathematical Double-Struck Capital A superscript n into the inverse limit of a system of spaces of semi-lattices L(Hsubscript d) endowed with the linear topology, where Hsubscript d are finite-dimensional vector spaces. The description is extended to the projective setting. The linear topology is then related to the one induced by the finite level morphism L(Hsubscript d). The chapter also considers the condition that if a definable set in L(Hsubscript d) is an intersection of relatively compact sets, then it is itself relatively compact.
