Abstract The paper tries to survey the recent results about relationships between covering properties of a topological space X and the space USC(X) of upper semicontinuous functions on X with the topology of pointwise convergence. Dealing with properties of continuous functions C(X), we need shrinkable covers. The results are extended for A-measurable and upper A-semimeasurable functions where A is a family of subsets of X. Similar results for covers respecting a bornology and spaces USC(X) or C(X) endowed by a topology defined by using the bornology are presented. Some of them seem to be new.

Given a topological spaceX, we establish formulas to compute the distance from a functionf∈RXto the spaces of upper semicontinuous functions and lower semicontinuous functions. For this, we introduce an index of upper semioscillation and lower semioscillation. We also establish new formulas about distances to some subspaces of continuous functions that generalize some classical results.

AbstractIn [HOLÁ, Ľ.—HOLÝ, D.: Pointwise convergence of quasicontinuous mappings and Baire spaces, Rocky Mountain J. Math.] a complete answer is given, for a Baire space X, to the question of when the pointwise limit of a sequence of real-valued quasicontinuous functions defined on X is quasicontinuous. In [HOLÁ, Ľ.—HOLÝ, D.: Minimal USCO maps, densely continuous forms and upper semicontinuous functions, Rocky Mountain J. Math. 39 (2009), 545–562], a characterization of minimal USCO maps by quasicontinuous and subcontinuous selections is proved. Continuing these results, we study closed and compact subsets of the space of quasicontinuous functions and minimal USCO maps equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence. We also study conditions under which the closure of the graph of a set-valued mapping which is the pointwise limit of a net of set-valued mappings, is a minimal USCO map.

A unified theory of continuous and certain non-continuous functions, initiated in an earlier paper, is further elaborated. The proposed theory provides a common platform for dealing simultaneously with continuous functions and a host of non-continuous functions including lower (upper) semicontinuous functions, almost continuous functions, weakly continuous functions (encountered in functional analysis), c-continuous functions, δ-continuous functions, semiconnected functions, H-continuous functions s-continuous functions, ε-continuous functions of Klee and several other variants of continuity.

<p>We shall show that the space of all approximately continuous functions with the topology of pointwise convergence is not homeomorphic to its category analogue.</p>
