In the first part of the paper, given a continuous map f from a Hausdorff topological space X onto a Hausdorff topological space Y, we consider the reciprocal map f * from Y into the collection of closed subsets of X, which maps y ∈ Y to . is endowed with the pseudotopological structure of convergence of closed sets. We will use the filter description of this convergence, as defined by Choquet and Gähler [2], [5], which is equivalent to the “topological convergence” of sets as introduced by Frolík and Mrówka [4], [10]. These notions in fact generalize the convergence of sequences of sets defined by Hausdorff [6]. We show that the continuity of f* is equivalent to the openness of f. On f*(Y), the set of fibers of f, we consider the pseudotopological structure induced by the closed convergence on .
