Expand-contract plasticity on the real line
Abstract
The article deals with plastic and non-plastic sub-spaces $A$ of the real line ${\mathbb{R}}$ with the usual Euclidean metric $d$. It investigates non-expansive bijections, proves properties of such maps and demonstrates their relevance by hands of examples. Finally, it is shown that the plasticity property of a sub-space $A$ contains at least two complementary questions, a purely geometric and a topological one. Both contribute essential aspects to the plasticity property and get more critical in higher dimensions and more abstract metric spaces.
