Abstract. We construct a family of upper semi-continuous setvalued functions f : [0, 1] → 2 [0,1] (belonging to the class of so-called comb functions), such that for each of them the inverse limit of the inverse sequence of intervals [0, 1] and f as the only bonding function is homeomorphic to Ważewski's universal dendrite. Among other results we also present a complete characterization of comb functions for which the inverse limits of the above type are dendrites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
