On generalized homogeneity of locally connected plane continua

Janusz Jerzy Charatonik (1991)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The well-known result of S. Mazurkiewicz that the simple closed curve is the only nondegenerate locally connected plane homogeneous continuum is extended to generalized homogeneity with respect to some other classes of mappings. Several open problems in the area are posed.

On indecomposability and composants of chaotic continua

Hisao Kato (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A homeomorphism f:X → X of a compactum X with metric d is expansive if there is c > 0 such that if x,y ∈ X and x ≠ y, then there is an integer n ∈ ℤ such that d ( f n ( x ) , f n ( y ) ) > c . A homeomorphism f: X → X is continuum-wise expansive if there is c > 0 such that if A is a nondegenerate subcontinuum of X, then there is an integer n ∈ ℤ such that d i a m i f n ( A ) > c . Clearly, every expansive homeomorphism is continuum-wise expansive, but the converse assertion is not true. In [6], we defined the notion of chaotic continua of homeomorphisms...

On open light mappings

Władysław Makuchowski (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Whyburn has proved that each open mapping defined on arc (a simple closed curve) is light. Charatonik and Omiljanowski have proved that each open mapping defined on a local dendrite is light. Theorem 3.8 is an extension of these results.
