Abstract

A subspace If(X) of the space of idempotent probability measures on a given compact space X is constructed. It is proved that if the initial compact space X is contractible, then If(X) is a contractible compact space as well. It is shown that the shapes of the compact spaces X and If(X) are equal. It is also proved that, given a compact space X, the compact space If(X) is an absolute neighborhood retract if and only if so is X.
