Extract

Suppose I is a bounded plane continuum whose complement is a single domain (I) and that is a (1–1) bicontinuous transformation of the plane onto itself which leaves I invariant. Cartwright and Littlewood(1) have proved the following theorem:

Theorem A. Suppose that(I) has no prime end fixed underand the frontier of I contains a fixed point P. Ifis any prime end of(I) containing P, and C is any curve in(I) converging tosuch that PeC¯, the closure of C, then for some‡ integer N the continuum I(FN) consisting of

together with the sum B(FN) of its interior complementary domains contains all fixed points in I.
