Semi-continuity: Applications, Properties & Definitions

In mathematical analysis, semicontinuity (or semi-continuity) is a property of extended real-valued functions that is weaker than continuity. An extended real-valued function f {\displaystyle f} is upper (respectively, lower) semicontinuous at a point x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} if, roughly speaking, the function values for arguments near x 0…
