Abstract
Upper semicontinuous solutions of the bargaining problem are studied and also lower semicontinuous weak solutions of that problem are considered. Though mainly compact bargaining pairs are investigated, extensions to non-compact bargaining pairs are indicated. The continuity properties of some well known bargaining solutions are discussed.
