If X and Y are Tychonoff spaces then the continuous function f mapping X onto Y is said to be compact (perfect, or proper) if it is closed and point inverses are compact. If h is a continuous function mapping X onto Y then by a compactification of h we mean a pair (X*, h*) where X* is Tychonoff and contains X as a dense subspace, and where h*: X*→Y is a compact extension of h. The idea of a mapping compactification first appeared in (7). In (1) it was shown that any compactification of X determines a compactification of h, and that any compactification of h can be determined in this way. This idea was then developed in (2) and (3).
