Let F: XY be a multifunction from X to Y. Then, given measure-theoretic or topological structures on X and Y, it is possible in various ways to define the measurability of F. The selection problem is to determine which structures on X and Y and which definitions of measurability of F ensure that F will have a measurable selector. This problem has been studied recently in papers by Castaing (2) and Kuratowski and Ryll-Nardzewski (6). In the latter paper, the problem is studied for its own interest. The former uses solutions of the problem to obtain general Filippov-type theorems. (See, for example, the corollaries following Theorems 2 and 3 of Castaing's paper.) For other material on Filippov's results see, among others, (3; 4; 5; 7; 9).
