Cantor sets as generalized inverse limits

Streszczenie
We characterize when the inverse limit of a single set-valued function yields a Cantor set as its inverse limit. We do this by focusing on a subset of the domain we call {\rm D}(F). When {\rm D}(F) is finite, we are able to apply known results for shifts of finite type to obtain our results. We then adapt those concepts to an infinite, compact alphabet. We give general characterizations when {\rm D}(F) is countable and when {\rm D}(F) is uncountable. We include many examples illustrating these results.
