Hemicontinuity #
This files provides basic facts about upper and lower hemicontinuity of correspondences
f : α → Set β.
A correspondence f : α → Set β is upper hemicontinuous if and only if its upper inverse
(i.e., u : Set β ↦ f ⁻¹' (Iic u), note that f ⁻¹' (Iic u) = {x | f x ⊆ u}) sends open sets
to open sets.
A correspondence f : α → Set β is upper hemicontinuous if and only if its lower inverse
(i.e., u : Set β ↦ (f ⁻¹' (Iic uᶜ))ᶜ, note that f ⁻¹' (Iic u) = {x | (f x ∩ u).Nonempty})
sends closed sets to closed sets.
A correspondence f : α → Set β is lower hemicontinuous if and only if its lower inverse
(i.e., u : Set β ↦ (f ⁻¹' (Iic uᶜ))ᶜ, note that f ⁻¹' (Iic u) = {x | (f x ∩ u).Nonempty})
sends open sets to open sets.
A correspondence f : α → Set β is lower hemicontinuous if and only if its upper inverse
(i.e., u : Set β ↦ f ⁻¹' (Iic u), note that f ⁻¹' (Iic u) = {x | f x ⊆ u}) sends closed sets
