A multifunction φ : X → Y from a topological space X into a topological space Y is a correspondence such that φ(x) is a non-empty subset of Y for every x ∊ X. A single-valued function f : X → Y is called a selection of φ if f(x) ∊ φ(x) for all x ∊ X; it is called a continuous selection if f is continuous. It is well-known that not every semi-continuous or even continuous multifunction has a continuous selection (see e.g. [4] for a survey on selection theory).

We investigate here some connections between multifunctions which are 'almost single-valued” and selections which are ‘almost continuous”.
