hey,
I need to show, using Baire Category Theorem, that there exits a continuous function
f: [0,1] to R , that isn't Lipschitz on the interval [r,s] for every 0<=r<s<=1 .

I defined the set A(r,s) to be all the continuous functions that are lipschitz on the interval [r,s]. I showed that A(r,s) is closed , but I'm having trouble showing it's nowhere dense.

help please! :)

Would you you let us know the version of Baire's thm. you are trying? Also, which topology /metric did you use?
