Abstract
Towards attaining a better working understanding of fixed points of maps of tree-like continua, Oversteegen and Rogers constructed a tree-like continuum with a fixed-point-free self-map, described explicitly in terms of inverse limits. Specifically, they developed a sequence of trees , and maps and from to for each , such that the maps induce a fixed-point-free self-map of the inverse limit space . The complexity of the trees and the valences of the maps in their example all grow exponentially with , making it difficult to visualize and compute with their space and map. We construct another such example, in which the maps and have uniformly bounded valence, and the trees have a simpler structure.
