Chistyakov has proved "Helly's selection theorem" -a uniformly BV sequence has a pointwise convergent subsequence -for Banach-(resp. continuous, group-) valued functions from a real interval into a compact subset. We extend, dispensing with continuity, to arbitrary real subsets and lighten compactness of the range to pointwise precompactness (which answers one of his questions). In addition, we accomplish his selection more generally for complete metric-set-valued BV maps with closed graphs which are pointwise compact on dense subsets of their domains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
