Abstract

In [3], Kinoshita defined the notion of f.p.p. and he proved that each compact AR has f.p.p. In [4], Yonezawa gave some examples of not locally connected continua with f.p.p., but without f.p.p. In general, for each n=1,2,..., there is an n-dimensional continuum Xn with f.p.p., but without f.p.p. such that Xn is locally (n-2)-connected (see [4, Addendum]). In this note, we show that for each n-dimensional continuum X which is locally (n-1)-connected, X has f.p.p. if and only if X has f.p.p.
