Abstract |
|
Let P be a right rectangular parallelepiped in Rm and let Y be a metric space. If Γ : P → Y is an upper semicontinuous multifunction such that for each x in P the set Γ(x) is nonempty and closed, then there exists a sequence {Γk} of upper semicontinuous closed valued step multifunctions convergent in terms of Hausdorff distance to Γ from above. If Γ is compact valued and increasing and P is a closed interval, then the convergence can be made uniform. As a consequence of a Dini-type theorem for mutifunctions, the convergence can also be made uniform if Γ is compact valued and continuous. |
