Hello.
How to prove that in smooth infinitesimal analysis every function on R is continuous? (Every function whose domain is R, the real numbers, is continuous and infinitely differentiable.)
Thanks.
Let ##f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}## be a uniformly continuous function. Show that, for some positive constants ##A## and ##B##, we have ##|f(x)| \le A + B|x|## for all ##x\in \mathbb{R}##.
Suppose f is a function such that f'(7) is undefined. Which of the following statements is always true? (Give evidences that supports your answer, then explain how those evidences supports your answer)
a. f must be continuous at x = 7.
b. f is definitely not continuous at x = 7.
c. There is not...
##f## is continuou on ##\mathbb{C}##, so for al ##\epsilon>0##, there is a ##\delta>0## such that $$|\tilde{z}-z|\leq \delta \Rightarrow |f(\tilde{z})-f(z)|\leq \epsilon$$ for all ##\tilde{z}## and ##z## in ##\mathbb{C}##.
Complex conjugation is a norm preserving operation on ##\mathbb{C}##, so...
Suppose ##f## is not uniformly-continuous. Then there is ##\epsilon>0## such that for any ##\delta>0##, there is ##x,y\in K## such that if ##|x-y|<\delta##, ##|f(x)-f(y)|\geq \epsilon##.
Choose ##\delta=1##. Then there is a pair of real numbers which we will denote as ##x_1,y_1## such that if...

In analysis, the pasting or gluing lemma, is an important result which says that two continuous functions can be "glued together" to create another continuous function. The lemma is implicit in the use of piecewise functions. Can we have a similar situation for uniform continuous functions?

My question is maybe elementary but I don't know the answer. I have a function f absolutely continuous in (a,c) and in (c,b), f continuous in c. Is f absolutely continuous in (a,b)?
I think the answer is negative but I can't find a counterexample. I really apreciatte your help.

Consider two functions f, g that take on values at t=0, t=1, t=2.
Then the total error between them is:
total error = mod(f(0)-g(0)) + mod(f(1)-g(1)) + mod(f(2)-g(2))
where mod is short for module.
This seems reasonable enough.
Now, consider the two functions to be continuous on [0,2].

I noticed that uniform continuity is defined regardless of the choice of the value of independent variable, reflecting a function's property on an interval. However, if on a continuous interval, the function is continuous on every point. It seems that the function on that interval must be...

g(x) = g(x + 0) = g(x) + g(0). Hence G(0) = 0.
G(0) = g(x + -x) = g(x) + g(-x) = 0. Therefore g(x) = -g(-x).
