Concepts of lower semicontinuity and continuous selections for convex valued multifunctions

We discuss several concepts of continuity, weaker than lower semicontinuity, but still implying the existence of a continuous selection for a closed convex valued multifunction from a paracompact Hausdorff topological space into a Banach space. In this way, an extension of Michael's celebrated selection theorem is given. The behavior of -envelop approximations, as well as the localization of continuous selections, is also discussed.
