Let be a metric continuum. Let denote the hyperspace of nonempty subsets of with at most elements. We say that the continuum has unique hyperspace provided that the following implication holds: if is a continuum and is homeomorphic to , then is homeomorphic to . In this paper we prove the following results: (1) if is an indecomposable continuum such that each nondegenerate proper subcontinuum of is an arc, then has unique hyperspace , and (2) let be an arcwise...
