Decomposable chainable continua

Mapping Chainable Continua onto Dendroids

We prove that every chainable continuum can be mapped into a dendroid such that all point-inverses consist of at most three points. In particular, it follows that there exists a finite-to-one map from a hereditarily indecomposable continuum (the pseudoarc) onto hereditarily decomposable continuum. This answers a question by J. Krasinkiewicz.

The nonexistence of expansive homeomorphisms of chainable continua

A homeomorphism f : X → X of a compactum X with metric d is expansive if there is c > 0 such that if x, y ∈ X and x 6= y, then there is an integer n ∈ Z such that d(f(x), f(y)) > c. In this paper, we prove that if a homeomorphism f : X → X of a continuum X can be lifted to an onto map h : P → P of the pseudoarc P , then f is not expansive. As a corollary, we prove that there are no expansive ho...

Continuous Collections of Decomposable Continua on a Spherical Surface

In this paper a study is made of continuous collections of decomposable continua on a spherical surface. Properties of the decomposition spaces of such collections filling up continua are established, and a characterization of the decomposition spaces of such collections filling up a spherical surface is obtained. The results of the present paper are related to certain results obtained by R. D....

Chainable Subcontinua

This paper is concerned with conditions under which a metric continuum (a compact connected metric space) contains a nondegenerate chainable continuum. This paper is concerned with conditions under which a metric continuum (a compact connected metric space) contains a non-degenerate chainable continuum. By R.H. Bing’s theorem eleven [2] if a metric continuum X contains a non-degenerate subconti...
