Monotone and weakly confluent set-valued functions and their inverse limits (Q2401581)

The author studies inverse limits with monotone and weakly confluent set-valued bonding functions, respectively. Among other things, in the fourth section, we find the result that inverse limits with monotone set-valued functions on the unit interval are locally connected (see Theorem 4.9). In the fifth section, the author introduces weakly confluent set-valued functions and studies inverse limits with such functions. It is shown that various projection maps from an inverse limit with weakly confluent set-valued bonding functions are also weakly confluent. After that a sufficient condition is given for the inverse limit with such functions on \([0,1]\) to contain an indecomposable continuum (see Corollary 5.7). Let us mention that most of the results in the paper concentrate on set-valued functions on \([0,1]\), so the natural question is: do all these results hold in the general case as well? This question could be a good starting point for further research.
