Reference for extreme value theorem.

I look for a reference of the Extreme Value Theorem for semicontinuous functions defined on a topological space. I know the proof, but I want to cite this result in my work.

Have a look at the answer to Extreme Value Theorem and Semicontinuity. This contains an explicit reference:

Aliprantis, Charalambos D., and C. Kim. "Border (1999). Infinite dimensional analysis: a hitchhiker’s guide." (1986)

The theorem for semi-continuous functions is stated in Nicolas Bourbaki, "General Topology", Ch. IV, § 6, no. 2, theorem 3.

In the 1966 edition Elements of Mathematics. General Topology. Part 1 (Ch. 1-IV), by Hermann / Addison-Wesley that's p. 361.
