A weak selection on an infinite set X is a function σ:[X]2→X such that σ({x, y})∈{x, y} for each {x, y}∈[X]2. A weak selection on a space is said to be continuous if it is a continuous function with respect to the Vietoris topology on [X]2 and the topology on X. We study some topological consequences from the existence of a continuous weak selection on the product X×Y for the following particular cases:(i)Both X and Y are spaces with one non-isolated point.(ii)X is a space with one non-isolated point and Y is an ordinal space. As applications of the results obtained for these cases, we have that if X is the continuous closed image of suborderable space, Y is not discrete and has countable tightness, and X×Y admits a continuous weak selection, then X is hereditary paracompact. Also, if X is a space, Y is not-discrete and Sel2c(X×Y)≠θ, then X is totally disconnected. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
