The hyperspaces $HS(p,X)$

Abstract

Let $X$ be a continuum and let $C(X)$ denote the hyperspace of subcontinua of $X$, endowed with the Hausdorff metric. For $p\in X$, define the hyperspace $C(p,X)=\{A\in C(X):p\in A\}$ as a subspace of $C(X)$. In this paper we introduced the quotient space $HS(p,X)=C(X)/C(p,X)$. We present some general properties of $HS(p,X)$ and we study the relationship between the continuum $X$ and the hyperspaces $C(X)$ and $HS(p,X)$.
