If X is a disjoint union of a compact infinite scattered metric space and the Cantor set then X has a real shift also. If X is a disjoint union of a nonempty finite scattered metric space and the Cantor set then X has no shift.3513-3518 PagesenAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ShiftCantor setPrimitive shiftScattered spaceArticle
