CL(R) is simply connected under the Vietoris topology

In this paper we present a proof by construction that the hyperspace CL(R) of closed, nonemtpy subsets of R is simply connected under the Vietoris topology. This is useful in considering the convergence of time scales. We also present a construction of the (known) fact that this hyperspace is also p...

Description
Summary:In this paper we present a proof by construction that the hyperspace CL(R) of closed, nonemtpy subsets of R is simply connected under the Vietoris topology. This is useful in considering the convergence of time scales. We also present a construction of the (known) fact that this hyperspace is also path connected, as part of the proof.
