TL;DR
The paper characterizes all self--maps on Khalimsky spaces $K^n$ (and their Alexandroff compactification $A(K^n)$) that have closed graphs, showing any such map must be constant with value $(2λ_1,...,2λ_n)$ for some integers $λ_i$ with evenness; on $A(K^n)$ closed-graph maps are either this constant or the constant to ∞. It also establishes the analogous rigidity for Khalimsky circle and sphere, and presents a diagram of map-classes with explicit examples to illuminate the relationships among closed-graph, constant, continuous and quasi--continuous maps in digital topology. These results illuminate the rigidity of closed-graph maps in Khalimsky spaces and clarify the role of closed points defined by even coordinates.
Abstract
In the following text for Khalimsky $n-$dimensional space $\mathcal{K}^n$ we show self--map $f:\mathcal{K}^n\to\mathcal{K}^n$ has closed graph if and only if there exist integers $λ_1,\ldots,λ_n$ such that $f$ is a constant map with value $(2λ_1,\cdots,2λ_n)$. We also show each self--map on Khalimsky circle and Khalimsky sphere which has closed graph is a constant map. The text is motivated by examples.
