Abstract

For every space XX let K(X)\mathcal K(X) be the set of all compact subsets of XX. Christensen \cite{c:74} proved that if X,YX, Y are separable metrizable spaces and F ⁣:K(X)K(Y)F\colon\mathcal{K}(X)\to\mathcal{K}(Y) is a monotone map such that any LK(Y)L\in\mathcal{K}(Y) is covered by F(K)F(K) for some KK(X)K\in\mathcal{K}(X), then YY is complete provided XX is complete. It is well known \cite{bgp} that this result is not true for non-separable spaces. In this paper we discuss some additional properties of FF which guarantee the validity of Christensen's result for more general spaces.
