Regularity and integration of set-valued maps represented by generalized Steiner points (Q2642977)

A family of probability measures on the unit ball in \(\mathbb R^n\) generates a family of generalized Steiner (GS-)points for every convex compact set in \(\mathbb R^n\). The authors study representations of set-valued maps with convex compact images in \(\mathbb R^n\) by single valued selections constructed with the help of GS-points of their images. The properties of the GS-points allow to represent Minkowski sum, Demyanov difference and Demyanov distance between sets in terms of their GS-points, as well as the Aumann integral of a set-valued map is represented by the integrals of its GS-selections. Regularity properties of set-valued maps (measurability, Lipschitz continuity, bounded variation) are reduced to the corresponding uniform properties of its GS-selections. This theory is applied to formulate regularity conditions for the first-order of convergence of iterated set-valued quadrature formulae approximating the Aumann integral.
