Non-separating subcontinua of planar continua

D. Daniel, C. Islas, R. Leonel, E. D. Tymchatyn (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We revisit an old question of Knaster by demonstrating that each non-degenerate plane hereditarily unicoherent continuum X contains a proper, non-degenerate subcontinuum which does not separate X.

Waraszkiewicz spirals revisited

Pavel Pyrih, Benjamin Vejnar (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study compactifications of a ray with remainder a simple closed curve. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a bijective (resp. surjective) mapping between two such continua. Using those conditions we present a simple proof of the existence of an uncountable family of plane continua no one of which can be continuously mapped onto any other (the first such family, so called Waraszkiewicz's spirals, was created by Z. Waraszkiewicz in the 1930's).
