Semicontinuity and Continuity Under Composition with a Continuous Map
lemmaAnalysisTopologylem:semicontinuity-composition-continuous-2026aLet and be metric spaces, let and , and let be the set of real numbers with the addition and the order of its ordered field structure, regarded as a metric space through the metric of The Absolute Value Metric on the Real Line.
Let be continuous on relative to and satisfy for every , let , and let be the function with for . Then the following hold.
1. If is upper semicontinuous on , then is upper semicontinuous on .
2. If is lower semicontinuous on , then is lower semicontinuous on .
3. If is continuous on relative to , as a map into , then is continuous on relative to .
4. (Restriction) Let and let be the function with for . If is upper semicontinuous on , then is upper semicontinuous on ; if is lower semicontinuous on , then is lower semicontinuous on ; and if is continuous on relative to , then is continuous on relative to .
