Continuum-chainable continuum which can not be mapped onto an arcwise connected continuum by a monotone epsilon mapping

摘要

A continuum is called continuum-chainable provided for any pair of points and positive epsilon there exists a finite weak chain of subcontinua of diameter less than epsilon starting at one point and ending in the other. We present an example of a continuum which is continuum-chainable and which can not be mapped onto an arcwise connected continuum by a monotone epsilon mapping. This answers a question posed by W. J. Charatonik.
