An exponential mapping over set-valued mappings. (English) Zbl 0999.54013
Summary: The paper presents an approach to “selection homotopy extension” properties of set-valued mappings showing that they become equivalent to usual selection extension properties of exponential set-valued mappings associated to them. As a result, several “controlled” homotopy extension theorems are obtained like consequences of ordinary selection theorems. Also, involving set-valued mappings, a simple proof of the Borsuk homotopy extension theorem is given.
