A selection theorem for a new class of multivalued maps

From MaRDI portal





The authors introduce a new class of multivalued maps, which includes all lower semicontinuous and upper semicontinuous multivalued maps, and for which a selection theorem can be proved. The class of multivalued maps \(\varphi: X\to\exp Y\) under consideration is defined by the condition (*) for any point \(x\in X\), any open subset \(U\) of \(Y\) containing \(\varphi(x)\) and any open subset \(V\) of \(Y\) intersecting the set \(\varphi(x)\) there is a neighbourhood \(W\) of \(x\) such that for any \(z\in W\) at least one of the following two conditions holds (1) \(\varphi(z)\subset U\); (2) \(\varphi(z) \cap V\neq \emptyset\). The main result is Theorem: Let \(X\) be a completely normal paracompact set, let \(Y\) be a complete metric space, and let \(\varphi:X \to\exp_cY\) be a multivalued map satisfying condition \((*)\). Then there is an upper semicontinuous selection \(\psi:X\to \exp_cY\) of \(\varphi\).
