Abstract

This chapter is devoted to some topics in the theory of continua. We look at the effect of imposing atriodicity or unicoherence on the factor spaces or monotonicity on the bonding mappings. We conclude the chapter with characterizations of irreducibility and indecomposability of inverse limits followed by a brief discussion of selected miscellaneous topics from continuum theory.
