Let X and Y be locally compact Hausdorff spaces. We give a full description of disjointness preserving Fredholm linear operators T from C0(X) into C0(Y), and show that is continuous if either Y contains no isolated point or T has closed range. Our task is achieved by writing T as a weighted composition operator Tf = h f . Through the relative homeomorphism , the structure of the range space of T can be completely analyzed, and X and Y are homeomorphic after removing finite subsets.

For each real α,0≤α<1, we give examples of endomorphisms in dimension one with infinite topological entropy which are α‑Hölder; and for each real p,1≤p<∞, we also give examples of endomorphisms in dimension one with infinite topological entropy which are (1,p)-Sobolev. These examples are constructed within a family of endomorphisms with infinite topological entropy and which traverse all α-Hölder and (1,p)-Sobolev classes. Finally, we also give examples of endomorphisms, also in dimension one, which lie in the big and little Zygmund classes, answering a question of M. Benedicks.

We define type A, type B, type C as well as C*-semi-finite C*-algebras.

In this paper, we first prove a general fixed point theorem for nonlinear mappings in a Banach space. Then we prove a nonlinear mean convergence theorem of Baillons type and a weak convergence theorem of Manns type for 2-generalized nonspreading mappings in a Banach space.

Using elementary arguments, we shall show that every bounded disjointness preserving linear functional of the Wiener ring L1 (Z) assumes the form (f)=
