A continuum \(X\) has {unique hyperspace} provided that if \(Y\) is a continuum and \(C(X)\) is homeomorphic to \(C(Y)\), then \(X\) is homeomorphic to \(Y\) (the symbol \(C(X)\) denotes the hyperspace of subcontinua of \(X\) with the Hausdorff metric). The author studies the class of metric compactifications of the real line. It is proved that (1) compactifications of the space \([0, \infty)\) with nondegenerate remainder have unique hyperspace, (2) compactifications of the space \((-\infty, \infty)\), different from an arc and with disconnected remainder, have unique hyperspace, (3) the members of the class of double compactifications (i.e., continua \(X\) such that \(X=S_1 \cup R \cup S_2 \) where \(S_1 \cup R\) and \(S_2 \cup R\) are metric compactifications of the disjoint rays \(S_1 =[a, \infty)\) and \(S_2 =(-\infty, b]\), both with remainder \(R\)) are \(C\)-determined but do not have unique hyperspaces. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1005.00053].
