Extract

A function f( , ) of two variables is said to be separately continuous if for each fixed y and each fixed x, the functions f(, y) and f(x,) are continuous functions of one variable. Separately continuous functions seem to be playing a larger rôle in analysis than formerly. In (1) there is an account of the theory of semigroups in which the multiplication is separately continuous, and in (9) various analytic theorems are obtained by the study of separately continuous functions f(s, t), where t ranges over a set T, and s ranges over a set of functions on T.
