  Abstract:
We study the hyperspace K0 (X) of non-empty compact subsets of a Smyth-complete quasi-metric space (X,d). We show that K0 (X) , equipped with the Hausdorff quasi-pseudometric Hd forms a (sequentially) Yoneda- complete space. Moreover, if d is a T1 quasi-metric, then the hyperspace is algebraic and that the set of all finite subsets forms a base for it. Finally, we prove that (K0(X),Hd) is Smyth-complete if (X,d) is Smyth-complete and all compact subsets of X are d−1-precompact.
