Abstract
Maly, Preiss and Zajicek proved the following result:
Let α ∈ (0,1) and let M ⊆ [a,b) such that a ∈ M; suppose that for any x ∈ M there is y ∈ (x,b] such that
μ*(M ∩ (x,y)) ≥ α (y-z);
Then there exists z ∈ (a,b] \ M such that
μ*(M ∩ (y,z)) ≥ α(z-y)
whenever y ∈ [a,z)
(see Corollary 2 of J. Maly, D. Preiss, and L.Zajicek, An unusual monotonicity theorem with applications, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 102 (1988), no. 4, 925-932).
The aim of this article is to find equivalent forms of this result.
