Abstract

We consider a family of inverse limits of inverse sequences of closed unit intervals with a single upper semi-continuous set-valued bonding function whose graph is an arc; it is the union of two line segments in [0,1]2[0,1]^2, both of them contain the origin (0,0)(0, 0), have positive slope, and extend to the opposite boundary of [0,1]2[0,1]^2. We show that there is a large subfamily F\mathcal F of these bonding functions such that for each fFf\in \mathcal F, the inverse limit of the inverse sequence of closed unit intervals using ff as a single bonding function, is homeomorphic to the Lelek fan.
