“…In this regard, both a Khalimsky continuous map and a Khalimsky homeomorphism have been often used in digital geometry [5, 6, 13, 18, 20-22, 24, 28, 31]. But it is well known that the graph k-connectivity of Z n and every topological connectedness as well as Khalimsky connectedness are partially compatible with each other [4,5,25]. Besides, a Khalimsky continuous map has some limitations of performing a discrete geometric transformation such as a rotation by 90 • and a parallel translation with an odd vector (see Remark 3.3).…”
