× Z) is closed.
Proof. Consider nets {xα} ⊂ X, {υα} ⊂ Y × Z such that xα → x, υα ∈ (F0 × F1)(xα), υα → υ. Then υα = yα × zα, yα ∈ F0(F1(xa). from the definition of the topology in Y × Z, the convergence υα → υ = (y, z) implies the convergences yα → y and zα → z. From the closedness of the multimaps F0 and F1 it follows that y ∈ F0(x), z ∈ F1(x) (Theorem 1.2.24(c)) but it means that υ ∈ (F0 × F1)(x) concluding the proof.
To consider the upper semicontinuity of the Cartesian product of multimaps we need the compactness of their values.
Theorem 1.3.17. If multimaps F0 : X → K(Y), F1 : X → K(Z) are upper semicontinuous then their Cartesian product F0 × F1 : X → K(Y × Z) is upper semicontinuous.
Proof. The Tychonoff theorem (see Chapter 0) implies that the multimap F0 × F1 has compact values. For an arbitrary point x ∈ X, let G ⊃ (F0 × F1)(x) be an open subset of Y × Z. From the definition of the product topology in Y × Z it follows that for every (y, z)(F0 × F1)(x) there exist open sets G0(y, z) ⊂ Y and G1(y, z) ⊂ Z such that (y, z) ∈ G0(y, z) × G1(y, z) ⊂ G. For each y ∈ F0(x) consider the cover
Then from Lemma 1.2.12(a) and the upper semicontinuity of the multimaps F0 and F1 it follows that there exists a neighborhood U(x) of x such that (F0 × F1)(U(x)) ⊂ V × W ⊂ G proving the upper semicontinuity of F0 × F1.
1.3.2Algebraic and other operations
Let X be a topological space, Y a linear topological space.
Definition 1.3.18. Let F0, F1 : X → P(Y) be multimaps. The multimap F0 + F1 : X → P(Y) defined as
is called the sum of the multimaps F0 and F1.
Theorem 1.3.19. If multimaps F0, F1 : X → P(Y) are lower semicontinuous then their sum F0 + F1 : X → P(Y) is lower semicontinuous.
Proof. The multimap F0 × F1 : X → P(Y × Y) is l.s.c. by Theorem 1.3.15. The single-valued map f : Y × Y → Y,
is continuous. We have
and conclusion follows from Theorem 1.3.11.
Similar application of Theorems 1.3.17 and 1.3.11 yields the following result.
Theorem 1.3.20. If multimaps F0, F1 : X → K(Y) are upper semicontinuous then their sum F0 + F1 : X → K(Y) is upper semicontinuous.
Remark 1.3.21. Notice that the assumption of compactness of the values of the multimaps F0 and F1 is essential. In fact, it was mentioned already that the multimap F in Example 1.1.8 is not u.s.c. But it may be represented as the sum of the identity map F0(x) = {x} and the constant multimap F1(x) = {(z1, z2) | (z1, z2) ∈
2, z1z2 = 1, z1 > 0, z2 > 0}.Definition 1.3.22. Let F : X → P(Y) be a multimap, f : X →
a function. The multimap f · F : X → P(Y),is called the product of f and F.
Theorem 1.3.23. If a multimap F : X → P(Y) is lower semicontinuous and a function f : X →
is continuous then the product f · F : X → P(Y) is lower semicontinuous.
