متن کاملStrong Proximal Continuity and Convergence
and Applied Analysis 3 that the function f : (X, α) → (Y, β) is strongly proximally continuous on A if ∀E ⊂ A, ∀S ⊂ X, EαS ⇒ f (E) βf (S) . (5) Finally, one says that f is strongly proximally continuous on B if f is strongly proximally continuous on A, for every A ∈ B.
