Abstract

In the paper, the notion of a generalized convexity was defined and studied from the view-point of the selection and approximation theory of set-valued maps. We study the simultaneous existence of continuous relative selections and graph-approximations of lower semicontinuous and upper semicontinuous set-valued maps with α-convex values having nonempty intersection.

Keywords

generalized convexity, selections, relative selections, graph-approximations
