This paper presents
necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of properties of bonding maps and
bonding spaces, on an inverse sequence X= {Xi,pii+1} of compact metric
spaces in order that its inverse limit X = X is either an approximate
absolute neighborhood retract, an (internally) e-calm compactum, an absolute
neighborhood retract, an LCn compactum, or that X has (covering) dimension
≤ n.
