â„-Multiplier as a Method of Optimization. The paper is part of the start of the investigation to
use â„-Multiplier as an optimizing mapping. An â„-multiplier is a mapping,
Ï: G X G → â„ , where, in this case, G is a commutative topological group, such that
Ï(xy,z)Ï(x,y) =Ï(x,yz)Ï(y,z) (1)
Ï(x,e) =Ï(e,x ) = 1. (2)
The motivation to embark on the study is due to the following theorem
THEOREM 1. Find x ϵ M such that the continuous mapping,
σ: M → â„
assumes a maximum or a minimum at some point of M, where M is a subgroup of a
commutative topological group, G.
This theorem is due to Kreyszig(1978) with some adaptations
This paper proves, using a constructive method of proof, that an â„- multiplier is a continuous
mapping; thus making an â„-multiplier a mapping which assumes a minimum or maximum at
some point.
