## The uniform order convergence structure on $$\mathcal {ML} (X)$$.(English)Zbl 1145.54003

If $$X$$ is a topological space and $$u: X\to\overline{\mathbb{R}}$$ is an extended real-valued function, one defines $$I(u), S(u): X\to\overline{\mathbb{R}}$$ by $I(u)(x)= \sup\{\text{inf}\{u(y): y\in U\}: U\in{\mathcal U}(x)\}$ and $S(u)(x)= \text{inf}\{\sup\{u(y): y\in U\}: U\in{\mathcal U}(x)\},$ where $${\mathcal U}(x)$$ denotes the neighbourhood filter of $$x$$. The function $$u$$ is called normal lower-semicontinuous if $$I(S(u))= u$$ and nearly finite if $$\{x\in X: u(x)\in\mathbb{R}\}$$ is open and dense in $$X$$. The set of all nearly finite, normal lower-semicontinuous functions on $$X$$ is denoted by $${\mathcal N}{\mathcal L}(X)$$ and $${\mathcal M}{\mathcal L}(X)$$ denotes the set of all $$u\in{\mathcal N}{\mathcal L}(X)$$ which are real-valued and continuous when restricted to the complement of a closed nowhere dense subset.
The author defines a uniform convergence structure on $${\mathcal N}{\mathcal L}(X)$$. If $${\mathcal M}{\mathcal L}(X)$$ carries the subspace uniform convergence structure, this structure induces the order convergence. He also proves that $${\mathcal N}{\mathcal L}(X)$$ is the completion of $${\mathcal M}{\mathcal L}(X)$$.
In the second part of the paper he uses the completion of the quotient of a suitable subspace to $${\mathcal M}{\mathcal L}(X)$$ in order to construct generalized solutions of the Navier-Stokes euqations in three dimensions subject to an initial condition, which contain the classical ones.
