The purpose of this paper is to prove: Théorème: In order that a continuum M should be a continuous curve it is necessary and sufficient that for every two distinct points A and B of M there should exist a subset of M which consists of a finite number of continua and which separates A from B in M. Théorème: In order that a bounded continuum M should be a continuous curve which contains no domain and does not separate the plane it is necessary and sufficient that for every two distinct points A and...
Sierpinski has shown (Wacław Sierpiński Sur une condition pour qu'un continu soit une courbe jordanienne, Fundamenta Mathematicae I (1920), pp. 44-60) that in order that a closed and connected set of points M should be a continuous curve it is necessary and sufficient that, for every positive number ϵ, the connected point-set M should be the sum of a finite number of closed and connected point-sets each of diameter less than ϵ. It follows that, as applied to point-sets which are closed, bounded...
The main purpose of the present paper is to show that if a bounded continuum has more then one prime part and no one of its prime parts separates the plane then in order that it should have just two complementary domains and be the complete boundary of each of them it is necessary and sufficient that it should remain connected in the weak sense on the removal of any one of its connected proper subsets which is closed.
In 1918 Sierpiński showed that if the sum of a countably infinite collection of closed point sets is bounded then it is not a continuum. He raised the question weather this theorem remains true if the restriction that the sum should be bounded is removed from the hypothesis. The purpose of the present paper is to show that for the case where each point set of the collection in question is itself a continuum, this question may be answered in the affirmative.
