Planar embeddings of Minc's continuum and generalizations

Abstract

We show that if $f:I\to I$ is piecewise monotone, post-critically finite, and locally eventually onto, then for every point $x\in X=\underleftarrow{\lim }(I,f)$ there exists a planar embedding of $X$ such that $x$ is accessible. In particular, every point $x$ in Minc's continuum $X_M$ from [Question 19 p. 335 in Continuum theory : proceedings of the special session in honor of Professor Sam B. Nadler, Jr.'s 60th birthday, Lecture notes in pure and applied mathematics; v. 230, New York: Marcel Dekker.] can be embedded accessibly. All constructed embeddings are thin, i.e. can be covered by an arbitrary small chain of open sets which are connected in the plane.
