Super and strongly faintly continuous multifunctions (Q2723219)

Let \((X,\tau)\) be a topological space. A point \(x\in X\) is said to be a \(\theta\)-cluster set of a subset \(A\) of \(X\) if \(\text{Cl} (U)\cap A\neq \emptyset\) for each open neighborhood \(U\) of \(X\) [\textit{N. V. Velichko}, Am. Math. Soc., Transl., II. Ser. 78, 103-118 (1968); translation from Mat. Sb., n. Ser. 70(112), 98-112 (1966; Zbl 0178.56503)]. In this paper, two forms of faint continuity for multifunctions are introduced.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEA multifunction \(F:(X, \tau)\to (Y,\sigma)\) is said to be (a) upper super faintly continuous (resp. upper strongly faintly continuous) at a point \(x\in X\) if for each \(\theta\)-open set \(V\) of \(Y\) with \(F(x)\subset V\) there exists an open set \(U\) of \(X\) containing \(x\) such that \(F(\text{Int(Cl} (U)))\subset V\) (resp. \(F(\text{Cl} (U)) \subset V)\). (b) lower super faintly continuous (resp. lower strongly faintly continuous) if for each \(\theta\)-open set \(V\) of \(Y\) with \(F(x)\cap V\neq\emptyset\), there exists an open set \(U\) of \(X\) containing \(x\) such that \(F(z)\cap V\neq \emptyset\) for every \(z\in\text{Int(Cl}(U))\) (resp. \(z\in\text{Cl}(U))\). (c) upper/lower super(strongly) faintly continuous on \(X\) if it has this property at each point \(x\in X\). Basic properties and characterizations of such multifunctions are established.
