摘要:It is certainly well known that a mapping between metric spaces is
continuous if and only if it preserves convergent sequences. Does
there exist a comparable characterization for the mapping to be
open? Of course, the inverse mapping is set-valued, in general. In
this research/expository note, we show that a mapping is open if
and only if the set-valued inverse mapping preserves convergent
sequences in an appropriate set-theoretic sense.
