Questions tagged [continuity]

Intuitively, a continuous function is one where small changes of input result in correspondingly small changes of output. Use this tag for questions involving this concept. As there are many mathematical formalizations of continuity, please also use an appropriate subject tag such as (real-analysis) or (general-topology)

Find all the solutions to $f(f(x) + 2020x + y) = f(2021x) + f(y)$ for all $x,y >0$ when: i) $f: \mathbb{N} \mapsto \mathbb{N}$ ii) $f: \mathbb{R}^{+} \mapsto \mathbb{R}^{+}$ The second part was a ...

Let $\alpha > 0$ and consider the function $$ f(x,y) = \begin{cases} \dfrac{|\sin(xy) - xy|^{\alpha}}{(x^{2} + y^{2})^{3}} & \text{if } (x,y) \neq (0,0), \\[2mm] 0 & \text{if } (x,y) = (0,...

Let $0 \in \Bbb{N}$. Prime number theorists will be familiar with the formula: $$\rho(x) = \pi(x) - \pi(\sqrt{x}) + 1 = \sum_{d \ \mid\ \sqrt{x}\#}\mu(d)\lfloor\frac{x}{d}\rfloor$$ It is usually taken ...

NOTE- The source of question is Advanced Calculus on real axis which doesn't cover $\textsf{Lebesgue integral}$ and $\textsf{Measure Theory}$ so therefore an approach by those wouldn't be of much ...

My teacher used integration by parts to solve the problem like so: $$\int_0^2 xd(\{x\}) =[x\{x\}]_0^2-\int_0^2 \{x\}dx\\ =0-\int_0^1 xdx-\int_1^2 (x-1)dx$$ which comes out to -1. But when I was ...

Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be continuous. For all nowhere-differentiable examples that I know of, for each $a\in\mathbb{R}$ there exist sequences $x_n\to a$ and $y_n\to a$ such that $$\frac{f(...

Does there exist a function $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $f(x), f(x)+\sqrt{3}, \sqrt{2}-f(x), f(x)+x$ are irrational for all irrational $x$? My attempt: I couldn't come up with any good ...

I have the following exercise and I don't know if my proof is correct: Let $(X,d_{X}),(Y,d_{Y})$ metric spaces with $X=X_{1}\cup X_{2}$ Let $f_{i}:X_{i}\to Y, \ i\in\{1,2\}$ continuous applications ...

I'm new to homological algebra. Just wondering why we never seem to see the involved chain complexes defined simply to be $C_n=$ continuous maps "of degree $n$" where the context makes the ...

Let $f:\mathbb{R}\mapsto \mathbb{R}$. The goal is to prove that $f$ is continuous if, and only if, for all $X\subset \mathbb{R}$, $f(\overline{X})\subset \overline{f(X)}$ Let $X\subset \mathbb{R}$, $y\...
