Abstract. For a given continuum X and a natural number n, we consider the hyperspace Fn(X) of all nonempty subsets of X with at most n points, metrized by the Hausdorff metric. In this paper we show that if X is a dendrite whose set of end points is closed, n ∈ N and Y is a continuum such that the hyperspaces Fn(X) and Fn(Y ) are homeomorphic, then Y is a dendrite whose set of end points is closed.
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.
