Abstract

Let XX be a topological space, UU -- opened subset of XX. We will say that point xUx \in \partial U is {\it accessible} from UU if there exists continuous injective mapping ϕ:I\ClD\phi : I \to \Cl D such that ϕ(1)=x\phi(1)=x, ϕ([0,1))\IntU\phi([0,1)) \subset \Int U. We proove the next main theorem. The following conditions are neccesary and suffficient for a compact subset DD of R2R^2 with a nonempty interior \IntD\Int D to be homeomorphic to a closed 2-dimensional disk: 1) sets \IntD\Int D and R2DR^2 \setminus D are connected; 2) any xDx \in \partial D is accessible both from \IntD\Int D and from R2DR^2 \setminus D.
