Abstract. Let X be a metric continuum. Let
C2(X) be the
hyperspace of X consisting of all the nonempty and with at most
two components closed subsets of X, with the Hausdorff metric.
In this paper we prove that if X is a finite graph and
Y is a
metric continuum such that C2(X)
is homeomorphic to C2(Y),
then X is homeomorphic to Y.
