Some properties of shape metric (Q1573532)

The authors investigate topological properties of the hyperspace \(2^X\) of all non-empty uniformly bounded closed subsets of a complete metric space \(X\) equipped with the shape metric introduced by Borsuk. It is showed that the family of all fundamental absolute extensors of \(X\) (called ``FAEU-spaces'') is a closed subset of \(2^X\), but the family of all fundamental absolute neighborhood retracts of \(X\) (called ``FANRU-spaces'') is not a closed subset of \(2^X\).
