A generalization of the Helly theorem for functions with values in a uniform space

In this paper we consider sequences of functions that are defined on a subset of the real line and take on values in a uniform Hausdorff space. For such sequences we obtain a sufficient condition for the existence of pointwise convergent subsequences. We prove that this generalization of the Helly theorem includes many results of the recent research. In addition, we prove that the sufficient condition is also necessary for uniformly convergent sequences of functions. We also obtain a representation for regular functions whose values belong to the uniform space.
