Problem Statement

Determine all bounded closed subsets FF of the plane with the following property: FF consists of at least two points and always contains two points AA and BB as well as at least one of the two semicircular arcs over the segment ABAB.
Definitions: A subset of the FF of the plane is said to be closed if: For every point PP of the plane that is not an element of FF , there is a (non-degenerate) disc with center PP that has no elements of FF.
