The author considers linearly ordered connected spaces with no first or last element and generalizes to finite products of such spaces, \(C=C_ 1\times C_ 2\times...\times C_ n\) certain positional properties of compact subspaces K of \(R^ n\). He has a notion of degree of a map and uses it to prove that if K is a compact subset of C and f:K\(\to C\) is continuous and injective, then C-K and C-f(K) have the same number of components. Also, if A is the closure of a bounded open set and \(f: A\to C\) is such that \(f(x)=x\) for \(x\in \partial A\), then \(A\subset f(A)\) (a no retraction theorem). In [Arch. Math. 42, 161-167 (1984; Zbl 0531.54040)] he proved an invariance of domain theorem.
