Concerning the sum of a countable number of mutually exclusive continua in the plane

R. Moore (1924)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

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.

A theorem on continua

R. Wilder (1925)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The purpose of this paper is to prove Theoreme: Of two concentric circles C_1 and C_2, let C_1 be the smaller. Denote by H the point set which is the sum of C_1, C_2, and the annular domain bounded by C_1 and C_2. Let M be a continuum which contains a point A interior to C_1 and a point B exterior to C_2. If N is any connected subset of M containing A and B, N will contain at least one point of some continuum which is a subset of M and H, and which has at least one point in common with...
