A lambda-dendroid with two shore points whose union is not a shore set

AbstractA subset of a given continuum is called a shore set if there is a sequence of continua in the complement of this set converging to the whole continuum with respect to the Hausdorff metric. A point is called a shore point if the one point set containing this point is a shore set. We present several examples of a lambda-dendroid which contains two disjoint shore continua whose union is not a shore set. This answers a question of Van C. Nall in negative
