Abstract:
A mapping is said to be confluent over locally connected continua if for each
locally connected subcontinuum $Q$ of the range each component
of its preimage is mapped onto $Q$. For mappings of compact spaces this class is
a very natural generalization of locally confluent mappings.
Various properties of these mappings are systematically studied in the paper.
Keywords:
Confluent, continuum, locally connected, mapping.
