I have a question. Could you please help me to solve this problem?

Is it possible that $\mathbb{R}^2\setminus A$ and $\mathbb{R}^2\setminus B$ are homeomorphic, when $A$ and $B$ are non-homeomorphic closed subsets of $\mathbb{R}^2$?

    fun fact: in $X= \mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{N}}$ we can take any 2 sigma-compact sets $A$ and $B$ and $X \setminus A$ will be homeomorphic to $X \setminus B$. So there we have plenty of such examples...2011-03-06
