Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the properties of a function \( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) that is increasing on a dense set, and the implications of its continuity and uniform continuity on another function \( g(x) = \inf_{x

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant poses a question regarding the relationship between the continuity of \( f \) and \( g \), specifically stating that continuity of \( f \) does not imply continuity of \( g \), while uniform continuity of \( f \) does imply uniform continuity of \( g \).
  • Another participant clarifies that their inquiry is not related to homework but is instead part of their self-study in probability, focusing on the properties of distribution functions.
  • A third participant suggests that even self-study questions should be posted in the Homework Help forums, indicating a potential misunderstanding about the appropriate forum for such discussions.
  • A later reply acknowledges the misunderstanding and expresses intent to post in the correct section.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the implications of continuity and uniform continuity between the functions \( f \) and \( g \), as the initial question remains open for discussion. Additionally, there is a disagreement regarding the appropriate forum for self-study questions.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the mathematical implications of continuity and uniform continuity, nor does it clarify the definitions or assumptions regarding the dense set or the function \( g \).

I´ve been trying to solve this for some time: Let f: R to R be an increasing on a dense set. Define g(x)=inf_{x<t in D} f(t). Show that continuity of f does not imply continuity of g but uniform continuity of f does imply uniform continuity of g.
Any help?

Is this homework/coursework? If not, what is the application?
 
I encounter this question while studying Probability by my own. It's not homework/coursework. The application is understanding properties of distribution functions.

In general, even self-study questions should go into the Homework Help forums. Please keep that in mind. I'll leave this thread here for now, however.
 
I apologize. It was a misunderstanding. I will post in the correct part of the forum. Thanks.
