Description
Summary:n this paper we model discontinuous extended real functions in pointfree topology following a lattice-theoretic approach, in such a way that, if L is a subfit frame, arbitrary extended real functions on L are the elements of the Dedekind-MacNeille completion of the poset of all extended semicontinuous functions on L. This approach mimicks the situation one has with a T1-space X, where the lattice F(X) of arbitrary extended real functions on X is the smallest complete lattice containing both extended upper and lower semicontinuous functions on X. Then, we identify real-valued functions by lattice-theoretic means. By construction, we obtain definitions of discontinuous functions that are conservative for T1-spaces. We also analyze semicontinuity and introduce definitions which are conservative for T0-spaces.
