HU-terminal

A subcontinuum K of a hereditarily unicoherent continuum X is said to be a HU-terminal continuum of X provided that K is contained in an irreducible subcontinuum of X and for every irreducible subcontinuum I of X containing K there is a point $x \in X$ such that I is irreducible about the union $K\cup \{x\}$.
