Ein eindimensionales Kompaktum in , das sich nicht lagetreu in die Mengersche Universalkurve einbetten läβt
We prove that every planar rational compactum with rim-type ≤ α, where α is a countable ordinal greater than 0, can be topologically embedded into a planar rational (locally connected) continuum with rim-type ≤ α.
We present a result which affords the existence of equivalent metrics on a space having distances between certain pairs of points predetermined, with some restrictions. This result is then applied to obtain metric spaces which have interesting properties pertaining to the span, semispan, and symmetric span of metric continua. In particular, we show that no two of these variants of span agree for all simple closed curves or for all simple triods.
