E. Helly's selection principle states that an infinite bounded family of real functions on the closed inter¨al, which is bounded in¨ariation, contains a pointwise con¨ergent sequence whose limit is a function of bounded¨ariation. We extend this theorem to metric space valued mappings of bounded variation. Then we apply the extended Helly selection principle to obtain the existence of regular selections of Ž .
non-convex set-valued mappings: any set-¨alued mapping from an inter¨al of the real line into nonempty compact subsets of a metric space, which is of boundedariation with respect to the Hausdorff metric, admits a selection of bounded¨ariation. Also, we show that a compact-valued set-valued mapping which is Lipschitzian, absolutely continuous, or of bounded Riesz ⌽-variation admits a selection which is Lipschitzian, absolutely continuous, or of bounded Riesz ⌽-variation, respectively.
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.
