Abstract

We introduce $R^i$-sets and give various relations between $R^i$-sets and prove that the hyperspace of a metric continuum containing any one of the $R^i$-sets also contains $R^i$-set and hence is not contractible.

Keywords: hyperspace, $R^i$-continuum, $R^i$-set, contractibility

MSC numbers: 54B20
