Abstract We show that for any map f on an arc-like continuum X, the induced map f ˆ on the hyperspace of subcontinua C ( X ) fixes a point in any f ˆ -invariant subcontinuum of C ( X ) . This extends a result of Robatian [21] , who proved it for the arc. However, as we show, the result does not extend to tree-like continua. We conclude with a list of related problems. Our proof builds on Hamilton's proof of the fixed point property of arc-like continua [12] .
