Abstract

We introduce the notions of upper/lower almost m-continuity for multifunctions from a set satisfying certain minimal condition into a topological space. We obtain their characterizations and properties which unify those of almost continuity, almost quasi-continuity, almost precontinuity, almost α-continuity, almost β-continuity and almost γ-continuity for multifunctions.
