-movable and -calm compacta and their images
We continue the study of 1/2-homogeneity of the hyperspace suspension of continua. We prove that if X is a decomposable continuum and its hyperspace suspension is 1/2-homogeneous, then X must be continuum chainable. We also characterize 1/2-homogeneity of the hyperspace suspension for several classes of continua, including: continua containing a free arc, atriodic and decomposable continua, and decomposable irreducible continua about a finite set.
It is well known that a function from a space into a space is continuous if and only if, for every set in the image of the closure of under is a subset of the closure of the image of it. In this paper we characterize almost continuity and weak continuity by proving similar relations for the subsets of .
