Abstract

It is a famous result of Alexandroff and Urysohn that every compact metric space is a continuous image of a Cantor set ∆. In this short note we complement this result by showing that a certain uniqueness property holds. Namely, if (K,d) is a compact metric space and f and g are two continuous mappings from ∆ onto K, the, for every e > 0 there exists a homeomorphism phi of ∆ such that d(g(x), f(phi(x))) < e for all x∆.
