Celebrating the work of world-renowned mathematician Sam B. Nadler, Jr., this reference examines the most recent advances in the analysis of continua. The book offers articles on the contributions of Professor Nadler, theorems on the structure and uniqueness of hyperspaces, results on the dynamics of solenoids, examples involving inverse limits of maps of the interval conditions on embeddability of hyperspaces and symmetric products, open problems on a number of topics. It examines boundary bumping theorems, fixed point theorems for nonseparating plane continua, Whiney maps and Whitney properties, topological entropy for arc-like continua, a variety of mapping properties, and more.
Examines the most recent advances in the analysis of continua-presenting a summary of the major contributions of Porfessor Nadler to the field of hyperspaces of continua and the latest studies on fixed point and mapping properties, embeddings, symmetric products, and dynamical systems.
