In this paper, we introduce another statement of a digital $(k_{0}, k_{1})-homeomorphism$ which is suitable for an approach to write an efficient algorithm for discriminating digital images with respect to the digital $(k_{0}, k_{1})-homeomorphism$.

The aim of this paper is to introduce a digital $({\kappa}_0,\;{\kappa}_1)$-covering map and a local $({\kappa}_0,\;{\kappa}_1)$-homeomorphism. And further, we show that a digital $({\kappa}_0,\;{\kappa}_1)$-covering map is a local $({\kappa}_0,\;{\kappa}_1)$-homeomorphism and the converse does not hold. Finally, some property of a digital covering map is investigated with relation to some restriction map. Furthermore, we raise an open problem with relation to the product covering map.

This paper deals with the topological stability of continuous maps. First, the notion of local expansion is given and we show that local expansions of compact metric spaces have the shadowing property. Also, we prove that if a continuous surjective map f is a local homeomorphism and local expansion, then f is topologically stable in the class of continuous surjective maps. Finally, we find homeomorphisms which are not topologically stable.

In this paper, we study a strong k-deformation retract derived from a relative k-homotopy and investigate its properties in relation to both a k-homotopic thinning and the k-fundamental group. Moreover, we show that the k-fundamental group of a wedge product of closed k-curves not k-contractible is a free group by the use of some properties of both a strong k-deformation retract and a digital covering. Finally, we write an algorithm for calculating the k-fundamental group of a dosed k-curve by the use of a k-homotopic thinning.
