Connectivity functions with a perfect road (Q1084198)

In this paper the following theorem is proved. Let \(f:I\to I\) be a function and let \(g:I^ 2\to I\) be an extension of f, where \(I=[0,1].\) If g is a connectivity function, then f has a perfect road at each point. This theorem together with an example [the author and \textit{F. Roush}, Topology, Proc. Conf., Vol. 7, No.1, Annapolis/Md. 1982, 55-62 (1982; Zbl 0518.26001)] gives a negative answer to question No.2 posed by \textit{J. Stallings} [Fundam. Math. 47, 249-263 (1959; Zbl 0114.391)] when restricted to the subclass of almost continuous functions. Two questions were also asked. (1) does there exist an almost continuous function \(I\to I\) that has a perfect road at each point and can not be extended to a connectivity function \(I^ 2\to I?\) (2) Does there exist a Baire class 1 connectivity function \(I\to I\) that can not be extended to a connectivity function \(I^ 2\to I?\) The answer to question (1) remains unknown. However, \textit{J. Brown, P. Humke}, and \textit{M. Laczkovich} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc., to appear] have recently proved that all Baire class 1 connectivity functions \(I\to Reals\) can be extended to a connectivity function \(I^ 2\to Reals\) which gives a negative answer to question (2).
