Unicoherent

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A topological space X is said to be unicoherent if it is connected and the following property holds:

For any closed, connected A, B \subset X with X=A \cup B, the intersection A \cap B is connected.

For example, any closed interval on the real line is unicoherent, but a circle is not.
