Lower and Upper Regularizations of Frame Semicontinuous Real Functions

چکیده
As discovered recently, Li and Wang’s 1997 treatment of semicontinuity for frames does not faithfully reflect the classical concept. In this paper we continue our study of semicontinuity in the pointfree setting. We define the pointfree concepts of lower and upper regularizations of frame semicontinuous real functions. We present characterizations of extremally disconnected frames in terms of these regularizations that allow us to reprove, in particular, the insertion and extension type characterizations of extremally disconnected frames due to Y.-M. Li and Z.-H. Li [Algebra Universalis 44 (2000), 271–281] in the right semicontinuity context. It turns out that the proof of the insertion theorem becomes very easy after having established a number of basic results regarding the regularizations. Notably, our extension theorem is a much strengthened version of Li and Li’s result and it is proved without making use of the insertion theorem.

متن کاملLower Semicontinuous Functions
We define the notions of lower and upper semicontinuity for functions from a metric space to the extended real line. We prove that a function is both lower and upper semicontinuous if and only if it is continuous. We also give several equivalent characterizations of lower semicontinuity. In particular, we prove that a function is lower semicontinuous if and only if its epigraph is a closed set....
متن کاملLocalic Real Functions: a General Setting
A [semi-]continuous real function of a frame (locale) L has up to now been understood as a frame homomorphism from the frame L(R) of reals into L [as a frame homomorphism (modulo some conditions) from certain subframes of L(R) into L]. Thus, these continuities involve different domains. It would be desirable if all these continuities were to have L(R) as a common domain. This paper demonstrates...
متن کاملRings of Real Functions in Pointfree Topology
This paper deals with the algebra F(L) of real functions of a frame L and its subclasses LSC(L) and USC(L) of, respectively, lower and upper semicontinuous real functions. It is well-known that F(L) is a lattice-ordered ring; this paper presents explicit formulas for its algebraic operations which allow to conclude about their behaviour in LSC(L) and USC(L). As applications, idempotent function...
متن کاملThe ring of real-valued functions on a frame
In this paper, we define and study the notion of the real-valued functions on a frame $L$. We show that $F(L) $, consisting of all frame homomorphisms from the power set of $mathbb{R}$ to a frame $ L$, is an $f$-ring, as a generalization of all functions from a set $X$ into $mathbb R$. Also, we show that $F(L) $ is isomorphic to a sub-$f$-ring of $mathcal{R}(L)$, the ring of real-valued continu...
