Let S\mathcal{S} be an ideal of subsets of a metric space X,d\langle X,d \rangle. A net of subsets Aλ\langle A_\lambda\rangle of XX is called S\mathcal{S}-convergent to a subset AA of XX if for each SSS \in \mathcal{S} and each ε>0\varepsilon > 0, we have eventually ASAλε and AλSAε.A \cap S \subseteq A^\varepsilon_\lambda \ \textrm{and} \ A_\lambda \cap S \subseteq A^\varepsilon. We identify necessary and sufficient conditions for this convergence to be admissible and topological on the power set of XX. We show that S\mathcal{S}-convergence is compatible with a pseudometrizable topology if and only if S\mathcal{S} has a countable base and each member of S\mathcal{S} has an ε\varepsilon-enlargement that is again in S\mathcal{S}. Further, in the case that the ideal is a bornology, we show that S\mathcal{S}-convergence when pseudometrizable is Attouch-Wets convergence with respect to an equivalent metric.
