On s-reflexive spaces and continuous selections

Abstract

This paper deals with the s-reflexive spaces introduced by Yang and Zhao. The authors prove that every s-reflexive Hausdorff space is zero-dimensional, and indicate a close relationship between the theory of s-reflexive spaces and that of continuous selections. Several examples relating to s-reflexivity are given.

Keywords
