“…Originating with Hilbert's observation (1891) [33] that the square is a continuous image of the circle so that each point is visited at most three times, the natural question arises which properties beyond 'Peano' are needed to guarantee the existence of well-behaved such continuous surjections. Achieving additional control over the surjections from the circle, however, is a notorious open problem in continuum theory discussed, for example, in Nöbling (1933) [46], Harrold (1940Harrold ( , 1942 [31,32], Ward (1977) [56], Treybig & Ward (1981) [54, §4], Treybig (1983) [53], and Bula, Nikiel & Tymchatyn (1994) [12]. The latter six authors were particularly interested in the existence of strongly irreducible maps from the circle, continuous surjections g : S 1 → X such that for any proper closed subset A S 1 we have g(A) g(S 1 ).…”
