The chainable continua are the spaces approximated by finite COTS

[EN] We show that the chainable continua (also called snake-like or arc-like)continua, are precisely the Hausdorff reflections of inverse limits of sequences of finite COTS under maps which are continuous and are separating.Work partially supported by CUNY-PSC Research Grant 61482-00-30 Work partially supported by Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT), México, grant 28411-EKennedy, JA.; Kopperman, RD.; Wilson, RG.
