Continuous selections of set-valued mappings and approximation in asymmetric and semilinear spaces

Abstract

The Michael selection theorem is extended to the case of set-valued mappings with not necessarily convex values. Classical approximation problems on cone-spaces with symmetric and asymmetric seminorms are considered. In particular, conditions for existence of continuous selections for convex subsets of asymmetric spaces are studied. The problem of existence of a Chebyshev centre for a bounded set is solved in a semilinear space consisting of bounded convex sets with Hausdorff semimetric.
