Abstract: Let X be a continuum and let varphi:XightarrowX be a homeomorphism. To construct a dynamical system (X,varphi) with interesting dynamical properties, the continuum X often needs to have some complicated topological structure. In this paper, we are interested in one such dynamical property: transitivity. By now, various examples of continua X have been constructed in such a way that the dynamical system (X,varphi) is transitive. Mostly, they are examples of continua that are not path-connected, such as the pseudo-arc or the pseudo-circle, or they are examples of locally connected continua (and every locally connected continuum is path-connected), Wazewski's universal dendrite and the Sierpinski carpet are such examples. In this paper, we present an example of a dynamical system (X,varphi), where varphi is a homeomorphism on the continuum X and X is a path-connected but not locally connected continuum. We construct a transitive homeomorphism on the Lelek fan. As a by-product, a non-invertible transitive map on the Lelek fan is also constructed.
