In mathematics, the Kuratowski–Ryll-Nardzewski measurable selection theorem is a result from measure theory that gives a sufficient condition for a set-valued function to have a measurable selection function.[1][2][3] It is named after the Polish mathematicians Kazimierz Kuratowski and Czesław Ryll-Nardzewski.[4]
Many classical selection results follow from this theorem[5] and it is widely used in mathematical economics and optimal control.[6]
Statement of the theorem
[edit]
Let
be a Polish space,
the Borel σ-algebra of
,
a measurable space and
a multifunction on
taking values in the set of nonempty closed subsets of
.
Suppose that
is
-weakly measurable, that is, for every open subset
of
, we have

Then
has a selection that is
-
-measurable.[7]
