Abstract

Let X be a compact metric space and let C(X) denote the space of subcontinua of X with the Hausdorff metric. It is proved that every two-dimensional continuum X contains, for every n ≥ 1, a one-dimensional subcontinuum Tn with dimC(Tn)n. This implies that X contains a compact one-dimensional subset T with dim C (T) = ∞.
