Abstract. In this paper we obtain new characterizations of upper and lower 0-quasicontinuous multifunctions and investigate several properties of such multifunctions.
IntroductionIn 1963, Levine [14] introduced the notion of semi-continuity in topological spaces. Arya and Bhamini [4] introduced the notion of 0-semi-continuity as a generalization of semi-continuity. Recently, Noiri [19] and Jafari and Noiri [12] have further investigated properties of 0-semi-continuity. The present authors [23] introduced and studied 0-quasicontinuous multifunctions.In this paper we shall obtain new characterizations of upper /lower 0-quasicontinuous multifunctions and investigate several further properties of such multifunctions.
PreliminariesThroughout the present paper, (X, r) and (Y, cr) (or simply X and Y) always represent topological spaces. Let A be a subset of X. The closure of A and the interior of A are denoted by C1(A) and Int(A), respectively. A subset A is said to be regular closed (resp. regular open) if Cl(Int(j4)) = A (resp. Int(Cl(>l)) = A). The 6-closure of A, denoted by Cle(-A), is defined to be a set of all x 6 X such that C1 (
