Abstract: Let TsubsetmathbbR, M be a metric space with metric d, and MT be the set of all functions mapping T into M. Given finMT, we study the properties of the approximate variation Vvarepsilon(f)varepsilon>0, where Vvarepsilon(f) is the greatest lower bound of Jordan variations V(g) of functions ginMT such that d(f(t),g(t))levarepsilon for all tinT. The notion of varepsilon-variation Vvarepsilon(f) was introduced by Fra'nkov'a [Math. Bohem. 116 (1991), 20-59] for intervals T=[a,b] in mathbbR and M=mathbbRN and extended to the general case by Chistyakov and Chistyakova [Studia Math. 238 (2017), 37-57]. We prove directly the following basic pointwise selection principle: If a sequence of functions fjj=1infty from MT is such that the closure in M of the set fj(t):jinmathbbN is compact for all tinT and limsupjoinftyVvarepsilon(fj) is finite for all varepsilon>0, then it contains a subsequence, which converges pointwise on T to a bounded regulated function finMT. We establish several variants of this result for sequences of regulated and nonregulated functions, for functions with values in reflexive separable Banach spaces, for the almost everywhere convergence and weak pointwise convergence of extracted subsequences, and comment on the necessity of assumptions in the selection principles. The sharpness of all assertions is illustrated by examples.
