Topic: Formalization of Michael Selection Theorem


Riccardo Formenti (Dec 04 2025 at 08:39):

I recently completed a formalization of Michael Selection Theorem, a result in the theory of set-valued functions (also known as correspondences) which is relevant to functional analysis, dynamical systems theory, fixed point theory, game theory. In doing so, I had to formalize basic topological definitions on the continuity of set-valued maps and a number of small lemmas.

I'm new to the community and would very much appreciate some guidance on how to contribute my results to Mathlib.

As many PRs as it takes, ideally ~100 lines of new material in each PR, make sure that it passes CI and appears on the #queue, and if you're sad something it not getting attention create a thread at #PR reviews explaining the context and what is coming next!

The review process can be time consuming, and sometimes painful, but you will learn a lot and the material will be improved by going through it!

@Riccardo Formenti Welcome! The bottom-most part of the side menu on the community site contains some docs that I hope are useful. See https://leanprover-community.github.io/
