A function f:X → Y is almost continuous if for every x ∊ X and for each open set V ⊂ Y containing f(x), Cl(f-l(V)) is a neighborhood of x. Various conditions are given that guarantee that an almost continuous function is continuous. The main theorem states that if f:X → Y is almost continuous with a closed graph (closed in X × Y) and X and Y are complete metric spaces, then f is continuous.
