Abstract

As indicated in the title, this paper was inspired by Smithson's work on Arzelà-Ascoli theorem. Up to this point, the author's interest in the topic has led him to generalize Arzelà-Ascoli theorem in the context of uniform spaces. This approach was primarily influenced by J.L. Kelley's General topology. Soon after, the author learnt that in 1971, R.E. Smithson carried over Kelley's approach to the case of point-compact multifunctions (rather than single-valued functions). Similarly, in this paper the author would like to carry over the result, presented in his previous paper Arzelà-Ascoli theorem in uniform spaces, to the case of point-compact multifunctions.
