The approximate variation of univariate uniform space valued functions and pointwise selection principles

Abstract: Let

T s u b s e t m a t h b b R

and

(X, m a t h c a l U)

be a uniform space with an at most countable gage of pseudometrics

d_{p} : p i n m a t h c a l P

of the uniformity

m a t h c a l U

. Given

f i n X^{T}

(=the family of all functions from

T

into

X

), the approximate variation of

f

is the two-parameter family

V_{v a r e p s i l o n, p} (f) : v a r e p s i l o n > 0, p i n m a t h c a l P

, where

V_{v a r e p s i l o n, p} (f)

is the greatest lower bound of Jordan's variations

V_{p} (g)

on

T

with respect to

d_{p}

of all functions

g i n X^{T}

such that

d_{p} (f (t), g (t)) l e v a r e p s i l o n

for all

t i n T

. We establish the following pointwise selection principle: If a pointwise relatively sequentially compact sequence of functions

{f_{j}}_{j = 1}^{i} n f t y s u b s e t X^{T}

is such that

l i m s u p_{j o i n f t y} V_{v a r e p s i l o n, p} (f_{j}) < i n f t y

for all

v a r e p s i l o n > 0

and

p i n m a t h c a l P

, then it contains a subsequence which converges pointwise on

T

to a bounded regulated function

f i n X^{T}

. We illustrate this result by appropriate examples, and present a characterization of regulated functions

f i n X^{T}

in terms of the approximate variation.
