Reason: First published version. Lower semicontinuity of a real-valued function at a point of a subset of a metric space, and on that subset. Companion to the upper semicontinuity definition.

Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, let AXA\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 aba\le b and aba\ne b, let u:ARu:A\to\mathbb{R}, and let xAx\in A.

We say that uu is lower semicontinuous at xx relative to AA if for every εR\varepsilon\in\mathbb{R} with 0<ε0<\varepsilon there exists δR\delta\in\mathbb{R} with 0<δ0<\delta such that every yAy\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 xAx\in A.
