A new continuous cellular decomposition of the disk into non-degenerate elements

Carl L. Seaquist

The main result of this paper is a new construction of a continuous decomposition of a two dimensional disk so that each point of the decomposition space is a non-degenerate non-separating continuum. The decomposition space is homeomorphic to the disk. Even though R. D. Anderson in described a similar non-trivial continuous decomposition of the disk, our construction is of interest because one can extend it to create a non-trivial continuous decomposition of the Sierpinski curve which is homeomorphic to the Sierpinski curve.
