          Consider a sequence $x_n in mathbb{R}^nbackslash U = E$ and assume $x_nrightarrow x$. Then $f(x) le liminf f(x_n) le r$, so $xin E$ and $E$ is closed.

            We have
            begin{align*}
            { f le s } text{ closed for all } s in mathbb{R}
            iff & { f > -s } text{ open for all } s in mathbb{R} \
            iff & { f > s } text{ open for all } s in mathbb{R}
            end{align*}

            Now a subset $A subseteq X$ is called open in $X$, when
            begin{equation} tag{$star$} label{eq:offen}
            forall a in A exists delta > 0: B_{delta}(a) subset A.
            end{equation}

            Because $f$ is lower semi continuous on $X$, we have
            begin{equation*}
            forall c < f(x) exists delta > 0: f(y) > c forall y in B_{delta}(x).
            end{equation*}

            (follows from the standard $varepsilon-delta$-definition with $varepsilon := f(x) - c$.)



            Now let $A := { f > s }$.
            From definition eqref{eq:offen} the proposition follows, since for all $a in A { c in mathbb{R}: f(x) > c}$ exists a $delta > 0$, so that for all $y$ with $| x - y | < delta$, we have $y in A$ and therefore $f(y) > c$.
