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\}$.
