Definition:Lower Semicontinuous/Subset

Definition
Let $f: S \to \overline \R$ be an extended real valued function.

Let $S$ be endowed with a topology $\tau$. Let $A \subseteq S$, and $A \ne \O$.

The function $f$ is said to be lower semicontinuous on $A$ $f$ is lower semicontinuous at every $a \in A$.
