Please help with exercise 18. P

Solve in detail so you can understand the exercise

18.L. Define what is meant by
lim sup f = L,
lim inf f
o.
18.M. Show that if f is an upper semi-continuous function on a compact subset
K of RP with values in R, then f is bounded above and attains its supremum on K.
18.N. Show that an upper semi-continuous function on a compact set may
not be bounded below and may not attain its infimum.
18.0. Show that if A is an open subset of Rº and if f is defined on R to R by
f(x) = 1,
x E A,
0,
x ¢ A,
then f is a lower semi-continuous function. If A is a closed subset of RP, show
that f is upper semi-continuous.
18.P. Give an example of an upper semi-continuous function which has an
infinite number of points of discontinuity.
18.Q. Is it true that function on R? to R is continuous at a point if and only
if it is both upper and lower semi-continuous at this point?
