Continuos g-contraíbles

abstract. a continuum x is said to be g-contractible provided that there is a surjective map ？ : x → x which is homotopic to a constant map. in this article, we will study g-contractible continua. answering a particular case of a proposed question in the article "on g-contractibility of continua" [3], we will show that there exists a non-g-contractible continuum x such that its countable product x？ is g-contractible.
