Abstract. The family of Wilder continua in the cube I n and its two subfamilies-of continuum-wise Wilder continua and of hereditarily arcwise connected continua-are recognized as coanalytic absorbers in the hyperspace C(I n ) of subcontinua of I n for 3 ≤ n ≤ ∞. In particular, each of them is homeomorphic to the set of all nonempty countable closed subsets of the unit interval I.
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.
