CECH SPACES OF LOOPS 331 establish a connection with the theory of dynamical systems and, in particular, with properties of asymptotically stable attractors.Other results about relationships between shape theory and the theory of multivalued maps appear in [6,14,15,18,25,28]. In a forthcoming paper we shall study further connections with the notions related to the limits of shape maps considered in [24]. The reader is referred to the texts by Borsuk [5], Cordier and Porter [7], Dydak and Segal [9], Mardesic and Segal [19] and the lists of problems [10] and [30] for information about shape theory.
