Theorem 4.14 Let (ε
k
) be a sequence of positive numbers such that ε
k
→ 0
as k →∞.LetB be an upper semi-continuous set-valued mapping with com-
pact convex values sending [0,T] ×
˜
Ω to a finite-dimensional Euclidean space
Y and satisfying Condition 4.12. Then there exists a sequence of continuous
single-valued mappings B
k
:[0,T] ×
˜
Ω → Y with the following properties:
(i) each B
k
satisfies Condition 4.12;
(ii) the sequence B
k
point-wise converges to a selector of B that is measur-
able with respect to the Borel σ-algebra in Y and the product σ-algebra
of the Borel σ-algebra on [0,T] and
˜
F on
˜
Ω;
(iii) at each (t, x(·)) ∈ [0,T] ×
˜
Ω the inequality B
k
(t, x(·))≤B(t, x(·))
holds for all k;
(iv) if B takes values in a closed convex set Ξ ⊂ Y , the values of all B
k
belong to Ξ.
Proof. In this proof we combine and modify the ideas used in the proofs of
[79, Theorem 2] by Gel’man and Theorem 4.11 above.
For t ∈ [0,T] define the mapping f
t
:
˜
Ω →
˜
Ω by the formula
f
t
x(·)=
x(s)if0≤ s ≤ t
x(t)ift ≤ s ≤ T.
(4.3)
Clearly f
t
x(·) is jointly continuous in t ∈ [0,T]andx(·) ∈
˜
Ω.SinceB satisfies
Condition 4.12, B(t, x(·)) = B(t, f
t
x(·)) for each x(·) ∈
˜
Ω and t ∈ [0,T].
Choose an element ε
k
from the sequence. Since B is upper semi-continuous,
for every (t, x(·)) ∈ [0,T] ×
˜
Ω there exists a δ
k
(t, x) > 0 such that for ev-
ery (t
∗
,x
∗
(·)) from the δ
k
(t, x)-neighborhood of (t, x(·)) the set B(t
∗
,x
∗
(·))
is contained in the
ε
k
2
-neighborhood of the set B(t, x(·)). Without loss of
generality we can suppose 0 <δ
k
(t, x) <ε
k
for every (t, x(·)). Consider the
δ
k
(t,x)
4
-neighborhood of (t, x(·)) in [0,T] ×
˜
Ω and construct the open covering
of [0,T]×
˜
Ω by such neighborhoods for all (t, x(·)). Since [0,T]×
˜
Ω is paracom-
pact, there exists a locally finite refinement {V
k
j
} of this covering. Without
loss of generality we can consider each V
k
j
as an η
k
(t
k
j
,x
k
j
)-neighborhood of
some (t
k
j
,x
k
j
(·)) where by construction the radius η
k
(t

) ≤

Consider a continuous partition of unity {ϕ
k
j
} adapted to {V
k
j
} and in-
troduce the set-valued mapping Φ
k
(t, x(·)) =
j
ϕ
k
j
(t, x(·))coB(V
k
j
)where
co denotes the convex closure. Since B(t, x(·)) is upper semi-continuous and
has compact values, without loss of generality we can suppose δ
k
(t, x)tobe
such that the images B(V
k
j
) are bounded in Y and so the sets coB(V
k
j
)are
compact. Denote by
Φ
k
(t, x(·)) the closure of Φ
k
(t, x(·)). Then one can easily
see that
Φ
k
:[0,T] ×
˜
Ω → Y is a Hausdorff continuous set-valued mapping
with compact convex values.
Define Ψ
k
:[0,T] ×
˜
Ω → Y by the formula Ψ
k
(t, x(·)) = Φ
k
(t, f
t
x(·)) and
consider the set-valued mapping
Ψ
k
(t, x(·)). Since f
t
is continuous, every Ψ
