Spaces of upper semicontinuous multi-valued functions on complete metric spaces
Let X = (X,d) be a metric space and let the product space X × ℝ be endowed with the metric ϱ ((x,t),(x’,t’)) = maxd(x,x’), |t - t’|. We denote by the space of bounded upper semicontinuous multi-valued functions φ : X → ℝ such that each φ(x) is a closed interval. We identify with its graph which is a closed subset of X × ℝ. The space admits the Hausdorff metric induced by ϱ. It is proved that if X = (X,d) is uniformly locally connected, non-compact and complete, then is homeomorphic to a...
