As a corollary, we can obtain now a sufficient condition for the lower semicontinuity of the intersection of l.s.c. multimaps.
Theorem 1.3.10. Let X be a topological space, Y a finite-dimensional linear topological space, F0, F1 : X → Cv(Y) l.s.c. multimaps. Assume that F0(x) ∩ F1(x) ≠
for all x ∈ X andfor some x0 ∈ X. Then the intersection F0 ∩ F1 : X → Cv(Y) is l.s.c. at x0.
Proof. From Theorem 1.3.8 it follows that the multimap F1 is quasi-open at x0. Let y ∈ (F0 ∩ F1) be an arbitrary point and
It is clear that
It is worth noting that the loss of the lower semicontinuity for the intersection of multimaps in Example 1.3.6 occurs exactly at the points where the above condition is violated.
Now consider some continuity properties of the composition of multimaps (see Definition 1.2.9).
Let X, Y, and Z be topological spaces.
Theorem 1.3.11. If the multimaps F0 : X → P(Y) and F1 : Y → P(Z) are u.s.c. (l.s.c.) then their composition F1 ○ F0 : X → P(Z) is u.s.c. (respectively, l.s.c.).
Proof. The assertion follows immediately from Theorems 1.2.15(b), 1.2.19(b) and Lemma 1.2.10.
Theorem 1.3.12. Let F0 : X → K(Y) be a u.s.c. multimap and F1 : Y → C(Z) a closed multimap. Then the composition F1 ○ F0 : X → C(Z) is a closed multimap.
Proof. Let z ∈ Z be such that z ∉ F1 ○ F0(x), x ∈ X. Applying Theorem 1.2.24(b) to the closed multimap F1 we can find for each point y ∈ F0(x), neighborhoods Wy(z) of z and V(y) of y such that
Let
then
and the application of Theorem 1.2.24(b) concludes the proof.
Remark 1.3.13. The condition of upper semicontinuity of the multimap F0 is essential. The following example shows that the composition of closed multimaps is not necessarily a closed multimap.
Example 1.3.14. The multimaps F0 :
→ K(),and F1 :
→ K(),are closed but not u.s.c. Their composition F1 ○ F0 :
→ K(),is not closed.
We consider now the Cartesian product of multimaps (see Definition 1.2.11).
Theorem 1.3.15. If multimaps F0 : X → P(Y), F1 : X → P(Z) are lower semicontinuous then their Cartesian product F0 × F1 : X → P(Y × Z) is lower semicontinuous.
Proof. Notice that the sets V0 × V1, where V0 ⊂ Y, V1 ⊂ Z are open sets form a base for the topology of the space Y × Z and apply Theorem 1.2.19(d) and Lemma 1.2.12(b).
Theorem 1.3.16. If multimaps F0 : X → C(Y), F1 : X → C(Z)
