A pointwise selection principle for metric semigroup valued functions

2008

Abstract Let ∅ ≠ T ⊂ R , ( X , d , + ) be an additive commutative semigroup with metric d satisfying d ( x + z , y + z ) = d ( x , y ) for all x , y , z ∈ X , and X T the set of all functions from T into X . If n ∈ N and f , g ∈ X T , we set ν ( n , f , g , T ) = sup ∑ i = 1 n d ( f ( t i ) + g ( s i ) , g ( t i ) + f ( s i ) ) , where the supremum is taken over all numbers s 1 , … , s n , t 1 , … , t n from T such that s 1 ⩽ t 1 ⩽ s 2 ⩽ t 2 ⩽ ⋯ ⩽ s n ⩽ t n . We prove the following pointwise selection theorem: If a sequence of functions { f j } j ∈ N ⊂ X T is such that the closure in X of the set { f j ( t ) } j ∈ N is compact for each t ∈ T , and lim n → ∞ ( 1 n lim N → ∞ sup j , k ⩾ N , j…
