Popis: Let X be a continuum and let C(X) be the space of subcontinua of X. In this paper we consider the spaces W(X) = {u: C(X)→ R ∣u is a Whitney map and u(X) = 1} with the “sup metric” and, N(X)={u-1(t)∈C(C(X)):u∈ W(X) and 0⩽t⩽1}. We define a natural order for N(X) and we prove that if there is a homeomorphism from N(X) onto N(Y) which preserves order, then X is homeomorphic to Y. Also we prove that W(X) is always homeomorphic to l2 (this answers a question by Nadler).
