Abstract

The present paper extends the idea of characterizing topological properties of a space X by means of continuous selections for its closed subsets (X) endowed with a “natural” hyperspace topology. In this particular case, it is proved that the property of X to be topologically well-orderable is equivalent to the existence of a selection for (X) which is continuous with respect to the Fell topology.
