1. Introduction
The set valued (alias multivalued) integration is useful in several areas of mathematics such as mathematical economics, image processing and analysis and theoretical statistics.
Various convergence results of set valued martingales and pramarts were studied in Bochner integration by several authors; see, Akhiat et al. [1], Akhiat et al. [2], Akhiat et al. [3], Castaing and Salvadori [4], Choukairi [5], Egghe [6], Ezzaki [7], Ezzaki and Tahri [8], Talagrand [9]. On the other hand, less of them is known in the case of Pettis integration. In the theory of integration in infinite-dimensional space, Pettis integrability is a more general concept than that of Bochner integrability. Examples of Pettis integrable functions, which are not Bochner integrable, are given in [10, Remark 5.2] and [11].
In this work, we are interested in the notion of vector valued and set valued Pettis integrable pramarts. The notion of pramart is more general than that of martingale. Every martingale is a pramart, but the converse is not generally true; see Egghe [6]. The purpose of the present paper is to present new properties and various new convergence results for convex weakly compact valued Pettis integrable pramarts in Banach space.
Our approach is based on a weak compactness result for Pettis integrable multifunctions and new results upon the existence of the conditional expectation of Pettis integrable multifunction developed in [12].
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we give some preliminaries and needed results. In Section 3, we present the notion of Pettis integrability of convex weakly compact valued multifunction (alias set valued maps) indexed by bounded stopping times. The existence of the conditional expectation of aforementioned Pettis integrable multifunctions is also provided. In Section 4, we present some properties and almost sure convergence of vector valued Pettis integrable pramarts. By using the results stated in Section 3 and a weak compactness result for Pettis integrable multifunctions, we prove the almost sure convergence in Mosco and linear topologies of Pettis integrable pramarts with values in (cwk(E)) the family of convex weakly compact subsets of a separable Banach space E.
2. Notations and preliminaries

Let D* be a countable dense subset of E* with respect to the Mackey topology τ(E*, E) and B* be the closed unit ball of E*.
We denote by cc(E)(resp.ccb(E))(resp.cwk(E)) the set of nonempty convex and closed (resp. convex, closed and bounded) (resp. convex weakly compact) subsets of E. For C ∈ 2E\∅, we denote by clA and the closure and the closed convex hull of A respectively and define |C| = sup{‖x‖: x ∈ C}.
Let C ∈ cc(E), the distance function and the support function associated to C are defined respectively by
For any A, B ∈ cc(E), the Hausdorff distance between A and B is defined by

− limn→∞d(x, An) = d(x, A), ∀x ∈ E.
For more properties of these topologies, see [14, Theorem 3.4]. On cc(E), the linear topology is stronger than the Mosco topology; see, [14, Theorem 5.1].
A measurable function f: Ω → E is said to be a selector of a random set X if f(ω) ∈ X(ω) for all ω ∈ Ω.
A measurable function f: Ω → E is said to be scalarly integrable if for each x* ∈ E*.

Every Aumann–Pettis integrable random set X: Ω → cc(E) is Pettis integrable in cc(E) (see, El Amri and Hess [15, Theorem 3.7]) .
A random set X defined from Ω to cwk(E) is Pettis integrable in cwk(E) if and only if {δ*(x*, X(.)), x* ∈ B*} is uniformly integrable, see [15, Theorem 5.4]. In particular, every Pettis integrable random set X in cwk(E) is Aumann–Pettis integrable.
Before going further, we recall first the following results, which are one of the basic tools in the study of Pettis integrable multivalued random sets (resp. random variables).
A sequence of random set with values in cc(E) is said to be adapted to if for any n ≥ 1, Xn is -measurable.

Let be a dense sequence in B* with respect to the Mackey topology τ(E*, E). Let be a sequence in cwk(E) and A∞≔s − liAn ∈ cwk(E).
Assume that
Then the following equality holds
3. Existence of the conditional expectation for Pettis integrable random sets indexed by stopping times
Before giving the first main result of this section, let us recall the following definition.
A function is called a stopping time with respect to if for each , . The set of all bounded stopping times with respect to is denoted by T.
For τ ∈ T, we define the σ-algebra
and
It is well known in the literature that the conditional expectation of Pettis-integrable random variables (resp. random sets) does not generally exist. Recently, several authors have studied the existence of this operator (see, Akhiat, Castaing et Ezzaki [1], Akhiat, El Harami et Ezzaki [16], El Allali et Ezzaki [12], El Harami et Ezzaki [17], Ezzaki et al. [18] and Ziat [19]).
[1, Theorem 4.3 ]
Let be a sub σ-algebra of and f be a Pettis integrable E-valued function such that .
Then there exists a unique a.s. -measurable, Pettis integrable E-valued function, denoted by , which enjoys the following property:
For every , one has
Let be a sub-σ-algebra of and X be a Pettis integrable random set with values in cwk(E). We say that the conditional expectation of X with respect to exists if:
exists.
There exists a -measurable random set G such that
If the conditional expectation of X exists, then it is unique a.s. In fact,
Assume that there exists G1 and G2 which satisfies (32.1). Then for each x* ∈ E*
By [13, Lemma III.35], G1 = G2 a.e.
Let X be an Aumann-Pettis integrable random set with values in cwk(E) such that
exists,
There exists a random set G, -measurable such that
Then exists and .
Since G is -measurable, it follows from El Amri and Hess [15, Theorem 3.9] that . ,
Hence
Conversely, let f ∈ IA(X)
Then
So,
Before giving the first main result of this section, let us present useful theorem due to El Allali and Ezzaki [20], which will be used in the proof of theorem 36.
Let be a sub σ-algebra of and X be an Aumann-Pettis integrable random set with values in cwk(E) such that there exists a countable partition of Ω in such that
Then.
(1) exists, and it is with values in cwk(E).
(2) a.s.,
(3) ,
(4) .
The proof of (1) and (2) of the theorem where proved in [20, theorem 3.9], we will provide some details of the proof for the sake of completeness.
Let . It is clear that , convex, nonempty and decomposable with respect to . Let be a subset of B* such that with is a dense sequence in E* with respect to the Mackey topology τ(E*, E).
Let be a sequence in M. We shall prove that the random set
Let n ≥ 1, , and . It follows from [21, Theorem 3.2] that is convex and weakly compact, then is convex and weakly compact. On the other hand . Indeed, let
Hence is convex and weakly compact since it is closed. So it follows from [21, Theorem 3.2] that ∀n ≥ 1, Hn is convex and weakly compact a.s., then H is countably supported a.s. with respect to D. Thus by [12, Theorem 35] there exist a -measurable random set L and a sequence such that for each w ∈ Ω and .
Let such that P(A) = 0 and L(w) ∈ cwk(E), ∀w ∈ Ω \ A. Let.
is a -measurable random set with values in cwk(E) and . Moreover, a.s.
Since exists by (1) it is clear from the definition of conditional expectation (see definition 32)
It follows from proposition 33 with .
Let X be an Aumann-Pettis integrable random set with values in cwk(E) such that there exists a countable partition of Ω in that satisfies
Then, is closed in .
From (35.1), every selection of is Bochner integrable then .
Since X is with values in cwk(E), by [21, Theorem 3.2] is weakly compact for each n ≥ 1. So
Now, let such that there exists such that
Set . It is clear that h is a selector of X.
Since X is Pettis integrable with values in cwk(E), h is Pettis integrable. On the other hand, .
Hence is closed in .
In the following theorem, we prove the existence of the conditional expectation of Pettis integrable multifunctions indexed by bounded stopping times, which will allow us to well define the notion of vector valued and set valued pramart in the Pettis integration.
Let Y be a positive random variable such that . Let be a sequence of Pettis integrable random sets with values in a family cwk(E) such that
|Xn| ≤ Y ∀n ≥ 1. Let σ and τ ∈ T such that τ ≥ σ. Then Xτ is a Pettis integrable random set with values in cwk(E) and the conditional expectation of Xτ with respect to exists, and satisfies the following properties;
(1) ,
(2).
For τ ∈ T,
∀k ≥ 1, Xk is a Pettis integrable random set, then Xτ is a Pettis integrable random set in .
In fact, Xτ is -measurable, scalarly integrable and ∀x* ∈ E*,
Then Xτ is a Pettis integrable random set with values in cwk(E).
Now, we prove that the conditional expectation of Xτ with respect to exists.
Since , ∀ω ∈ Ω, |Xτ(ω)| ≤ Y(ω).
The fact that , there exists a partition of Ω in such that
Since and
Thus by theorem 34, exists ∀k ≥ 1.
The fact that,
Then exists and from proposition 33,
Now, we will show that .
Let and set Bj = A ∩ [σ = j]
Then
Now, let us introduce some needed definitions and notions of pramarts (resp. subpramarts) in and in .
A Pettis integrable adapted sequence with values in cc(E) is said to be a martingale if for each k ≥ n ≥ 1, exists and a.s.
Let be an adapted sequence in . Assume that for every σ, τ ∈ T, τ ≥ σ the conditional expectation exists.
We say that is a pramart if for every ɛ > 0, there is σɛ ∈ T such that,
Let be an adapted sequence in . We say that is a subpramart if for every ɛ > 0, there is σɛ ∈ T such that,
Let be an adapted sequence in . Assume that for every σ, τ ∈ T, τ ≥ σ the conditional expectation exists.
We say that is a pramart if for every ɛ > 0, there is σɛ ∈ T such that,
Let be a sub σ-algebra of and X: Ω → cwk(E) be a Pettis integrable random set such that and , then
if and only if .
Let such that then by theorem 34, exists and
Let and be a dense sequence in E* with respect to Mackey topology τ(E*, E) and .
Then
Hence
Let show the converse implication, from [2, Lemma 3.4] ∀x* ∈ E*,
For every m ≥ 1
So,
So, there exists a negligible N = ∪mNm such that ∀ ω ∈ Ω \ N, ,
By [13, Lemma III.34], Then .
4. Convergence theorem of Pettis integrable vector valued and set valued pramart
Before presenting our convergence results, we recall the following definition and properties of multimeasure, which will be used in the proof of theorem 410 at the end of this section.
let E be any Banach space. A multimeasure is a map
such that M(∅) = {0} and for every in pairwise disjoint we have
Given a map :
By Costé [23], M is a multimeasure if and only if for every x* ∈ E*, δ*(x*, M(.)) is a finite scalar measure.
The variation of M is denoted by |M| and defined by
The sup is taken on all the finite partitions of A in .
Now, we present the following Lemmas, which will be used in the proof of our main result in this section.
Let be a sequence of Pettis integrable random sets with values in cwk(E) satisfying the following conditions:
(1) There exists a Pettis integrable random set L with values in cwk(E) such that Cn(.) ⊂ L(.) ∀n ≥ 1.
(2) exists ∀ω ∈ Ω, ∀x* ∈ D*.
Then there exists a Pettis integrable random set C with values in cwk(E) such that
By assumption, Cn(ω) ⊂ L(ω), ∀ω ∈ Ω, ∀n ≥ 1, then is an equicontinuous sequence with respect to the Mackey topology τ(E*, E).
Let ω ∈ Ω, and set r(.) = limnδ*(., Cn(ω)). So r(.) is continuous with respect to the Mackey topology. Since r(.) is positively homogeneous and r(0) = 0, then there exists C(ω) ∈ cc(E) such that
So,
By [24, Lemma 5.2], C(.) is measurable.
Let us now prove that C(.) is Pettis integrable in cwk(E). By [15, Theorem 5.4] it is sufficient to prove that {δ*(x*, C(.)) x* ∈ B*} is uniformly integrable.
For every x* ∈ B*
Then
For every ɛ > 0, ∃δ > 0 such that , P(A) < δ ⇒
So, {δ*(x*, C(.)), x* ∈ B*} is uniformly integrable.
The first application of lemma 42 in is the following lemma, which proofs the convergence in Pettis norm of Pettis integrable pramart. Since the notion of pramart is more general than that of martingale, the result proved here generalizes the convergence in Pettis norm of martingales proved in [25, lemma 1.4] and [18, lemma 2].
Assume that E* is separable. Let be a pramart in such that the following conditions are satisfied:
There is a Pettis integrable random set L: Ω → cwk(E) such that fn(ω) ∈ L(ω) for all n ≥ 1 and all ω ∈ Ω.
For each n ≥ 1, .
Then there exists such that.
‖fn − f‖Pe → 0.
By , exists.
Since fn(ω) ∈ L(ω) then
Then for each x* ∈ B*, is a L1-bounded pramart. Then from Theorem 1.1 in [26] converges a.s. to .
So by lemma 42 there exists f(.) such that for each x* ∈ E*,
We conclude that
Since L is Pettis integrable with values in cwk(E) then {δ*(x*, L), x* ∈ B*} is uniformly integrable, so it is not hard to see that ∀x* ∈ B*, { < x*, fn(.) > , n ≥ 1} is uniformly integrable pramart. Then
Since , there exists an -measurable partition of Ω defined by
For each k ≥ 1, set . So is a bounded pramart in .
Then from Akhiat and Ezzaki [3], there exists a unique martingale in and a pramart in such that
Moreover for each x* ∈ E*,
But as converge to Zero a.s.
We get
Since is a bounded martingale, so by Theorem 5.3.27 in Edgar [27].
Hence, the sequence converge a.s. to .
Set .
So,
Put.
Then there exists a negligible set N = ∪kNk, such that
Then by [16, Theorem 2.4], we have ‖fn − f‖Pe → 0.
The second application of lemma 42 is the following equivalence between the convergence in Pettis norm of a Pettis integrable adapted sequence and the nature of his scalar product.
Let L be a Pettis integrable random set with values in cwk(E). Let be an adapted sequence in such that fn(.) ∈ L(.), ∀n ≥ 1 and a.s. ∀n ≥ 1.
Then
If , this implies that
So
On the other hand, since fn(.) ∈ L(.), ∀n ≥ 1, we have
So, by [28, Lemma 6] is a bounded pramart in .
The converse is a direct consequence of Lemma 43.
By using theorem 36 and a direct application of lemma 42, we prove the convergence in weak topology of cwk(E)-valued Pettis integrable pramart.
Let be a sequence of Pettis integrable pramart with values in cwk(E) satisfying the following conditions:
There exists a Pettis integrable random set L with values in cwk(E) such that Xn ⊂ L ∀n ≥ 1,
For each n ≥ 1, .
Then there exists a Pettis integrable random set X with values in cwk(E) such that
By theorem 36, exists ∀ σ, τ ∈ T and τ ≥ σ. Then the notion of Pettis integrable pramart with values in cwk(E) is well defined.
Since is a pramart in then is a pramart too. By hypothesis Xn(ω) ⊂ L(ω) for all and for all ω ∈ Ω then
So is a L1-bounded pramart, we deduce that it admits a limit.
Then by lemma 42, there exists a Pettis integrable and measurable random set X with values in cwk(E) such that
The following theorem is a new version in Pettis integration of theorem 3.3 in Choukairi [5] provided in Bochner integration.
Let be a Pettis integrable pramart with values in cwk(E) that satisfying the following conditions:
There exists a Pettis integrable random set L with values in cwk(E) such that Xn ⊂ L ∀n ≥ 1,
For each n ≥ 1, .
Then there exists a Pettis integrable random set X with values in cwk(E) such that.
(a)
(b) .
(c)
From lemma 45, there exists a Pettis integrable and measurable random set X with values in cwk(E) such that
Then by (46.1) and the uniform integrability of {δ*(x*, Xn), n ≥ 1} we have for x* ∈ E* and for every ,
(b) .
By (2) and theorem 34, exists for each n ≥ 1 by El Allali et Ezzaki [12, Theorem 4.11], we have
(c) Let by definition of s − li, there exists such that
Then by lemma 44, is a bounded pramart in and
By (a),
and
Then there exists a negligible set such that ∀ω ∈ Ω \ N, f(ω) ∈ X(ω).
Since X is in , hence f is Pettis integrable. From (46.2) and proposition 311 .
The following lemma is a generalization in Pettis integration of lemma 6.1 in Castaing et al. [29].
Assume that is a dense sequence in B* with respect to the Mackey topology. Let such that .
Let g be a positive random variable such that , and be a pramart in such that |Xn| ≤ g.
Then the following holds:
From theorem 36, exists ∀τ ≥ σ and exists.
We may apply the techniques developed by Castaing et al. [29].
For each m, n ≥ 1, let us set
Now we prove that a.s.
Let be a dense sequence in B*. Since is a sequence of Pettis integrable pramart with values in cwk(E), then for each we have is a real valued pramart.
For each by theorem 36,
Then
Thus by applying the Jensen’s inequality for every a.s.
Then we have,
Now, we present some convergence results of set valued Pettis integrable pramarts with convex weakly compact values in a separable Banach space E.
Let be a Pettis integrable pramart with values in cwk(E) satisfying the following conditions:
There exists a Pettis integrable random set L with values in cwk(E) such that Xn ⊂ L ∀n ≥ 1.
For each n ≥ 1, .
Then there exists a Pettis integrable random set X with values in cwk(E) such that.
(a).
(b).
(c).
() We will prove that .
By theorem 46, we have
From lemma 45,
By (48.1) there exists a negligible N such that ∀ω ∈ Ω \ N, ∀x* ∈ E*
Then X(ω) ⊂ L(ω) so, a.s. ∀n ≥ 1.
From (1) and (2) and is a pramart.
Let be a dense sequence in B* with respect to the Mackey topology. By lemma 47 the sequence is uniform subpramart.
By (2) there exists a partition of Ω in defined by
Since |Xn| ≤ |L|, then
So,
Since then .
So, by definition of the conditional expectation of the positive random variable
Then
So for every j ≥ 1,
Then is a bounded uniform sequence of positive subpramarts on Aj. Applying Egghe [6, Lemma VIII.1.15], there exists a negligible such that
Since is a partition of Ω then there exists a negligible such that ∀ω ∈ Ω\N
(b) Since . so, (b) is deduced from proposition 27.
(c) Now we will prove that limnd(x, Xn(.)) = d(x, X(.)), a.s. ∀ x ∈ E.
From the scalarly convergence of and proposition 28 we get
When the pramarts in theorem 48 are single-valued, we have the following corollary.
Let be a sequence of Pettis integrable E-valued pramart such that:
There exists a Pettis integrable random set L with values in cwk(E) such that Xn(ω) ∈ L(ω) ∀n ≥ 1 and ω ∈ Ω,
For each n ≥ 1, .
Then there exists a Pettis integrable random variable X with values in E such that
So that
Since is a Pettis integrable pramart and Xn(ω) ∈ L(ω) for each n ≥ 1 and each ω ∈ Ω then
So, the L1-bounded pramart converges a.s. Then limn < x*, Xn(.) > exists.
Since L is in by lemma 42, there exists such that
By (2) and theorem 31, exists. So consider the regular martingale such that
By theorem 48, we have
By applying Akhiat, Castaing et Ezzaki [1, Proposition 5.1] we have .
Then we conclude that
The following theorem stated in Pettis integration generalizes a result obtained in Castaing and Salvadori [4, theorem 6.9] in Bochner integration.
Assume that E has RNP and E* has RNP.
Let be a Pettis integrable pramart with values in satisfying the following conditions:
for all n ≥ 1 where g is a positive function such that ,
is uniformly integrable,
For each , the set {∪n ≥ 1 ∫AXndP, n ≥ 1} is relatively weakly compact.
Then there exists a Pettis integrable random set X with values in cwk(E) such that.
(a).
(b).
(c).
We will prove that
Further, from (2) for each x* ∈ E*, the L1-bounded pramart converge a.s.
In other words for each x* ∈ E* there exists a function such that
Now assume that for each , the set {∫AXndP, n ≥ 1} is include in a convex weakly compact subset denoted by KA.
Set ∀n ≥ 1 Mn(A) = ∫AXndP, for each .
Since is with values in cwk(E). Then by El Amri and Hess [15, Theorem 5.4] Mn(.) is a cwk(E)-valued.
The fact that, is Pettis integrable, implies that Mn is a multimeasure for all n ≥ 1.
By (2) and (410.1) a sequence ( converges in L1 to .
Then ,
So,
Since for each.
So,
By (410.2)
Since then for every x* ∈ E*, δ*(x*, M(.)) is a finite scalar measure. So M is a multimeasure.
Let proof that M is of σ-bounded variation.
As , then there exists a partition of Ω in such that
Let Bj fixed and a partition of Bj then
Then
So, M is of σ-bounded variation then by theorem 4.8 in Ziat [19] there exists measurable multifunction X in such that
Then
