On the approximation of Hausdorff upper semi-continuous correspondence (Q1093142)

The author establishes several approximation theorems for Hausdorff upper semi-continuous correspondences having for range a locally convex space. The main results show that under certain hypotheses such correspondences can be approximated from above by correspondences of the form \(\sum _{j\in J}\beta _ jA_ j\) where \((\beta _ j)_{j\in J}\) is a partition of unity and \((A)_{j\in J}^ a \)family of convex closed sets. In a certain sense this paper is a continuation of a previous paper of the author [On the approximation of upper semi-continuous correspondences and the equilibrium of generalized games, to appear in the J. of Math. Anal. and Appl.]. By introducting correspondences of type \({\mathfrak A}\) and correspondences totally of type \({\mathfrak A}\) various results proved in the paper quoted above, as well as other recent approximation theorems, are unified and generalized.
