We prove that a continuum is an arc if and only if it contains exactly two non-cut points. We also prove that a continuum X is a simple closed curve if and only if for every pair of distinct points \(x,y\in X\) , \(X\setminus \{x,y\}\) is disconnected.

摘要

We prove that a continuum is an arc if and only if it contains exactly two non-cut points. We also prove that a continuum X is a simple closed curve if and only if for every pair of distinct points \(x,y\in X\) , \(X\setminus \{x,y\}\) is disconnected.
