The aim of this note is to show how various facts in classical topology connected with semicontinuous functions and the semicontinuous quasi-uniformity have their counterparts in pointfree topology. In particular, we introduce the localic semicontinuous quasi-uniformity, which generalizes the semicontinuous quasiuniformity of a topological space (known to be one of the most important examples o...

and Applied Analysis 3 The quasi-uniform space X,U will always be considered to be a topological space with the topology obtained by using as the family of all neighborhoods of a point x0 ∈ X all sets of the formU x0 {x ∈ X : x0, x ∈ U}, whereU runs overU. Such a topology is called topology of the quasi-uniformity. Note that each topology onX is induced by a quasi-uniformity see 8, 9 , the most...

Algorithmic random number generators require recurring sequences with very long periods and good multivariate uniformity properties. Point sets and sequences for quasi-Monte Carlo numerical integration need similar multivariate uniformity properties as well. It then comes as no surprise that both types of applications share common (or similar) construction methods. However, there are some diffe...

In this note we present a new treatment of the pointfree version of the semicontinuous quasi-uniformity based on the new tool of the ring of arbitrary (not necessarily continuous) real-valued functions made available recently by J. Gutiérrez Garćıa, T. Kubiak and J. Picado [Localic real functions: a general setting, Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra 213 (2009) 1064-1074]. The purpose is to sh...
