Sets with zero-dimensional kernels

Neal Eugene Foland and John M. Marr

Vol. 19 (1966), No. 3, 429–432
Abstract

F. A. Valentine in his book ([1], p. 177, Problem 6.5) suggests that a sufficient condition for a nonempty compact and connected subset S of E2 to have a kernel consisting of a single point is that each triple of points of S can see via S a unique point of S. The authors show that this condition is sufficient if S is any subset of a topological linear space which contains a noncollinear triple.
