Abstract

Let X be a Hausdorff topological space, MU(X, ℝ) and MC(X, ℝ) be the space of all minimal usco maps with values in ℝ and the space of all minimal cusco maps with values in ℝ, respectively. By τp is denoted the topology of pointwise convergence. We characterize some cardinal invariants of (MU(X, ℝ), τp) and (MC(ℝ,ℝ), τp). Let Q(ℝ,ℝ) be the space of all quasicontinuous functions on ℝ with values in ℝ and C(ℝ,ℝ) the space of all continuous functions on ℝ with values in ℝ. We compare cardinal invariants of (MU(ℝ,ℝ), τp), (MC(ℝ,ℝ), τp), (Q(ℝ,ℝ), τp) and (C(ℝ,ℝ), τp).
