A homeomorphism f : X → X of a compactum X is expansive (resp. continuum-wise expansive) if there is c > 0 such that if x, y ∈ X and x ≠ y (resp. if A is a nondegenerate subcontinuum of X), then there is n ∈ ℤ such that (resp. ). We prove the following theorem: If f is a continuum-wise expansive homeomorphism of a compactum X and the covering dimension of X is positive (dim X > 0), then there exists a σ-chaotic continuum Z = Z(σ) of f (σ = s or σ = u), i.e. Z is a nondegenerate subcontinuum of X satisfying: (i) for each x ∈ Z, is dense in Z, and (ii) there exists τ > 0 such that for each x ∈ Z and each neighborhood U of x in X, there is y ∈ U ∩ Z such that ≥ τ if σ = s, and ≥ τ if σ = u; in particular, . Here limn → ∞ diam fn(A) = 0 limn → ∞ diam f-n(A) = 0 , and . As a corollary, if f is a continuum-wise expansive homeomorphism of a compactum X with dim X > 0 and Z is a σ-chaotic continuum of f, then for almost all Cantor sets C ⊂ Z, f or is chaotic on C in the sense of Li and Yorke according as σ = s or u). Also, we prove that if f is a continuum-wise expansive homeomorphism of a compactum X with dim X > 0 and there is a finite family of graphs such that X is -like, then each chaotic continuum of f is indecomposable. Note that every expansive homeomorphism is continuum-wise expansive.
