Holsztyński [1] called a map f : X → Y f r om a space X into a space Y ‘universal for all maps of X into Y f if for all maps g : X → Y there exists a point x ∊ X such that f(x) = g(x) , i. e., if f has a coincidence with all maps from X into Y. As the word ‘universal’ is already widely used with different meanings, we prefer the more precise term ‘coincidence producing’ for these maps. Such maps must clearly be surjective.
