Abstract
Using the framework of discrete-valued relations, we give a simple proof of a theorem obtained by Stoyan Nedev. This theorem provides a generalisation of an element in the proof of Dowker’s extension theorem, which is essential for constructing continuous selections of set-valued mappings defined on collectionwise normal spaces. Using this relationship, we also give a simple proof of the Dowker’s theorem.
