A homeomorphism f : X ! X of a compactum X with metric d is expansive if there is c > 0 such that if x,y 2 X and x 6 y, then there is an integer n2 Z such that d(f n (x),f n (y)) > c. In this paper, we prove that if a homeomorphism f : X ! X of a continuum X can be lifted to an onto map h : P ! P of the pseudo- arc P , then f is not expansive. As a corollary, we prove that there are no expansive homeomorphisms on chainable continua. This is an armative answer to one of Williams' conjectures.
