Is the following set a continuum?

46 Views Asked by At

Let F be a non-empty family of subcontinua of a continuum X such that for any finite subfamily $F_{1},F_{2},...,F_{n}$ in F there is $C\in F$ such that

$C \subset F_{1} \cap F_{2} \cap... \cap F_{n}$

I want to prove that

$\cap \{C: C \in F\}$ is a continuum.

Does anyone know how to do it ?

I was thinking of using the following theorem:

Theorem: If X is a continuum and $A_{1}, A_{2},...$ are nested subcontinuum $A_{n+1} \subset A_{n}, n \in \mathbf{N}$ then $A= A_{1}\cap A_{2} \cap...$ is a continuum of X.

But I don't know if this is enough.

Any help is appreciated.
