A $$D_E[0,1]$$ representation of random upper semicontinuous functions.(English)Zbl 1005.28003

Summary: A representation of random upper semicontinuous functions in terms of $$D_E[0,1]$$-valued random elements is stated. This fact allows us to consider for the first time a complete and separable metric, the Skorohod one, on a wide class of upper semicontinuous functions. Finally, different relevant concepts of measurability for random upper semicontinuous functions are studied and the relationships between them are analyzed.
