Multivalued almost-periodic mappings and selections of them (Q1177561)

Almost periodicity in Stepanoff's sense may be defined for maps taking values in an arbitrary metric space \(X\). Taking \(X\) as the space \(\text{cl}(E)\) of all bounded, closed subsets of some Banach space \(E\), endowed with the Hausdorff metric, one obtains the notion of almost periodic multifunction. For such multifunctions, defined on the real line, the existence of almost periodic selection is proved. This selection may have the module of frequencies not greater than the considered multifunction. The construction of Castaing type representation for almost periodic multifunctions is also included. Proofs are essentially based on the existence of continuous selections for multifunctions with decomposable values fulfilling assumptions of Fryszkowski's theorem. The results are applicable in the theory of differential inclusions with almost continuous right-hand side.
