Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, let A⊆XA\subseteq X, let R\mathbb{R} be the set of real numbers with the addition and the order ≤\le of its ordered field structure, where a<ba<b means that a≤ba\le b and a≠ba\ne b, let u:A→Ru:A\to\mathbb{R}, and let x∈Ax\in A.

We say that uu is lower semicontinuous at xx relative to AA if for every ε∈R\varepsilon\in\mathbb{R} with 0<ε0<\varepsilon there exists δ∈R\delta\in\mathbb{R} with 0<δ0<\delta such that every y∈Ay\in A satisfying d(x,y)<δd(x,y)<\delta satisfies

u(x)−ε<u(y),u(x)-\varepsilon<u(y) ,

where u(x)−εu(x)-\varepsilon abbreviates u(x)+(−ε)u(x)+(-\varepsilon).

We say that uu is lower semicontinuous on AA if uu is lower semicontinuous at xx relative to AA for every x∈Ax\in A.
