If $X$ and $Y$ are topological spaces, for $f:Xto Y$ to be continuous at $x_0in X$ it is necessary that $Asubseteq X land x_0inoverlineA implies f(x_0)inoverlinef(A)$.
I was wondering whether it is also sufficient. A proof or counterexample would be much appreciated!
Proof (necessity): Let $V$ be a neighborhood of $f(x_0)$. Since $f$ is continuous, $f^-1(V)$ is a neighborhood of $x_0$ in $X$. Since $x_0inoverlineA$, we have $Acap f^-1(V)neqvarnothing$. Let $xin Acap f^-1(V)$. Then $f(x)in f(A)cap V$, so that $f(A)cap Vneqvarnothing$; since this holds for any neighborhood $V$ of $f(x_0)$, we have $f(x_0)inoverlinef(A)$.

Let $Vsubset Y$ be an open such that $f(x_0)in V$. If $x_0 in overlinef^-1(Ysetminus V)$, then $f(x_o)in overlinef(f^-1(Ysetminus V))subset overlineYsetminus V= Ysetminus V$, a contradiction, so $x_0 notin overlinef^-1(Ysetminus V)$. Then, if $U = Xsetminus overlinef^-1(Ysetminus V)$ is an open in $X$ such that $x_0in U$, and $f(U)subset V$, so $f$ is continuous in $x_0$.

We want to find (for continuity at $x_0$) find some open neighbourhood $U$ of $x_0$ such that $f[U] subseteq V$.
Suppose that this would fail, then for every neighbourhood $U$ of $x_0$ we would have $f[U] nsubseteq V$, or equivalently $U cap f^-1[Ysetminus V] neq emptyset$.
It follows that then $x_0 in overlinef^-1[Ysetminus V]$ and so the assumption on $f$ would imply that $y=f(x_0) in overlinef[f^-1[Ysetminus V]]$. But $f[f^-1[B]] subseteq B$ for any $B$ so we'd deduce that $y in overlineYsetminus V = Ysetminus V$ which is nonsense. So contradiction and such a $U$ must exist.
