Homework Statement


Let f be a function let p /in R. Assume limx->p=L and L>0. Prove f(x)>L/2


The Attempt at a Solution



Let f be a function let p /in R. Given that limx->pf(x)=L and L>0. Since L\neq0 Let \epsilon= |L|/2. Then given any \delta>0 and let p=0 we have |f(x)-L| = |0-L| = |L| > |L|/2=\epsilon. Thus f(x) > |L|/2 near p.

Yes, this seems to be correct!
 
Thank you!
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
