Continuous Selections of Multivalued Mappings

This text is a comprehensive study of the theory of continuous selections of multivalued mappings. This branch of modern topology was introduced by E.A. Michael in the 1950s and has since witnessed an intensive development with various applications outside topology, e.g. in geometry of Banach spaces, manifolds theory, convex sets, fixed points theory, differential inclusions, optimal control, approximation theory, and mathematical economics. The work can be used in different ways: the first part is an exposition of the basic theory, with details. The second part is a comprehensive survey of the main results. Lastly, the third part collects various kinds of applications of the theory.
