Let K be a compact subset of a metric space (X, d) and assume that the
function f K→ R¹ is lower semicontinuous. That is
f(xo) lim inf f(x)
x→x0
Show that
(a) m = infek f(x) is finite.
(b) There exists € K, so that f(x) = m.
Hint: For part a), arguing by contradiction will produce a sequence
{n} CK, so that f(n) <-n. For part b), consider a sequence yn, so that
m≤ f(yn) < m + 1/ / .
