On self-homeomorphic dendrites

Janusz Jerzy Charatonik, Paweł Krupski (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

It is shown that for every numbers m 1 , m 2 { 3 , , ω } there is a strongly self-homeomorphic dendrite which is not pointwise self-homeomorphic. The set of all points at which the dendrite is pointwise self-homeomorphic is characterized. A general method of constructing a large family of dendrites with the same property is presented.

On spirals and fixed point property

Roman Mańka (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study the famous examples of G. S. Young [7] and R. H. Bing [2]. We generalize and simplify a little their constructions. First we introduce Young spirals which play a basic role in all considerations. We give a construction of a Young spiral which does not have the fixed point property (see Section 5) . Then, using Young spirals, we define two classes of uniquely arcwise connected curves, called Young spaces and Bing spaces. These classes are analogous to the examples mentioned above. The definitions...

On the metric dimension of converging sequences

Ladislav, Jr. Mišík, Tibor Žáčik (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In the paper, some kind of independence between upper metric dimension and natural order of converging sequences is shown — for any sequence converging to zero there is a greater sequence with an arbitrary ( 1 ) upper dimension. On the other hand there is a relationship to summability of series — the set of elements of any positive summable series must have metric dimension less than or equal to 1 / 2 .

On uncountable collections of continua and their span

Dušan Repovš, Arkadij Skopenkov, Evgenij Ščepin (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that if the Euclidean plane 2 contains an uncountable collection of pairwise disjoint copies of a tree-like continuum X, then the symmetric span of X is zero, sX = 0. We also construct a modification of the Oversteegen-Tymchatyn example: for each ε > 0 there exists a tree X 2 such that σX < ε but X cannot be covered by any 1-chain. These are partial solutions of some well-known problems in continua theory.
