Usco selections of densely defined set-valued mappings
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 April 2009
Abstract
A set-valued mapping Φ : X → 2Y acting between topological spaces X and Y is said to be “lower demicontinuous” if the interior of the closure of the set Φ−1(V): = {x ∈ X : Φ(x) ∩ V ≠ ∅} is dense in the closure of Φ−1(V) for each open set V in Y. Čoban, Kenderov and Revalski (1994) showed that for every densely defined lower demicontinuous mapping Φ acting from a Baire space X into subsets of a monotonely Čech-complete space Y, there exist a dense and Gδ subset X1 ⊆ X and an usco mapping G: X1 → 2Y such that G (x) ⊆ Φ*(x), for every x ∈ X1, where the mapping Φ*: X → 2Y is the extension of Φ defined by,
W is a neighbourhood of x}.
In this paper we present a proof of the above result with the notion of monotone Čcech-completeness replaced by the weaker notion of partition completeness. In addition, we observe that if the range space also lies is Stegall's class then we may assume that the mapping G is single-valued on X1.
