Planar embeddings of Minc's continuum and generalizations (Q1998823)

\textit{S. B. Nadler jun.} and \textit{J. Quinn} [Embeddability and structure properties of real curves. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (1972; Zbl 0236.54029)] asked whether for every point \(x\) of a chainable continuum \(X\) there is a planar embedding of \(X\) for which \(x\) is accessible. One of the candidates to find a counterexample was a continuum \(X_M\) constructed by Minc, see [Lect. Notes Pure Appl. Math. 230, 331--339 (2002; Zbl 1040.54500)], and the main result here gives a positive answer to the question of Nadler and Quinn for a class of continua including \(X_M\). The class of continua studied here are inverse limits \(I\overset{f}{\leftarrow}I\overset{f}{\leftarrow}\cdots\) of intervals with bonding map \(f\) a piecewise monotone post-critically finite locally eventually onto map. For this class it is shown that for every point there is a planar embedding that renders the point accessible.
