Let \((\Omega,\Sigma)\) be a measurable space, \(X\) a Banach space, \(K\) a multifunction from \(\Omega\) to \(X\), and \(T\) a multifunction from the graph of \(K\) to \(X\). The author gives sufficient conditions for the existence of a measurable selector \(x\) of \(K\) such that \[ d(x(\omega),T(\omega,x(\omega)))=\delta(K(\omega),T(\omega,x(\omega))),\;\omega\in\Omega, \] where \(\delta(A,B)=\inf\{\| u-v\|:\;u\in A, v\in B\}\). Then, assuming that for each \(\omega\) the multifunction \(T(\omega,\cdot)\) has a fixed point in \(K(\omega)\), he proves the existence of a random fixed point of \(T\), i.e. a measurable selector \(x\) of \(K\) such that \(x(\omega)\in T(\omega,x(\omega))\), \(\omega\in\Omega\). In both theorems \(T\) is convex compact-valued and Hausdorff continuous in the second variable. Related random fixed point theorems were already obtained by \textit{H. W. Engl} [Pac. J. Math. 76, 351-360 (1978; Zbl 0355.47035)] and the reviewer [Pr. Nauk. Uniw. Śląsk. Katowicach 420, Pr. Mat. 11, 36-41 (1981; Zbl 0504.60070)].
