Abstract:A continuum is a compact connected metric space. A non-empty closed subset B of a continuum X does not block x ∈ X \ B provided that the union of all subcontinua of X containing x and contained in X \ B is dense in X. We denote the collection of all non-empty closed subset B of X such that B does not block each element of X \ B by N B(F 1 (X)). In this paper we show some properties of the hyperspace N B(F 1 (X)). Particularly, we prove that the simple closed curve is the unique continuum X such that N B(F 1 (X… Show more
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.
