The Freudenthal space for approximate systems of compacta and some applications.
In this paper we define a space σ(X) for approximate systems of compact spaces. The construction is due to H. Freudenthal for usual inverse sequences [4, p. 153–156]. We establish the following properties of this space: (1) The space σ(X) is a paracompact space, (2) Moreover, if X is an approximate sequence of compact (metric) spaces, then σ(X) is a compact (metric) space (Lemma 2.4). We give the following applications of the space σ(X): (3) If X is an approximate system of continua, then X = limX...
