On barely continuous functions (Q1824891)

A function f from a topological space X to a topological space Y is called barely continuous if for each nonempty closed subset A of X, the restriction of f to A with its relative topology has at least one point of continuity. The restriction condition in the above definition comes from one of the characterizations of real-valued functions of the first class of Baire, thus the notion of bare continuity is a topological extension of the notion of first class of Baire. In this lattice-oriented article the author studies the relations between the bare continuity of the identity function between topologies on a given set and the lattice structure for those topologies. In a very natural manner he introduces and then studies the (bare) equivalence between topologies on a space. A lot of attention is given to topologies on finite sets.
