Homework Help Overview

The problem involves a metric space (X,d) and the set of bounded functions B(X). The goal is to show that the set f, consisting of continuous functions from B(X), is a closed subset of this space.

Discussion Character

  • Mixed

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the definition of a closed subset and its application to the problem. There are attempts to clarify the relationship between sequences of functions and their limits, particularly focusing on continuity and boundedness.

Discussion Status

Participants are exploring various aspects of the problem, including the definitions of continuity and boundedness in the context of function spaces. Some guidance has been offered regarding the use of sequences and the triangle inequality, but there remains uncertainty about the implications of these discussions for proving that f is closed.

Contextual Notes

There is confusion regarding the notation used for the set of continuous functions and the function itself, leading to potential misunderstandings in the discussion. Participants are also questioning the assumptions related to boundedness and continuity in the context of limits of sequences.

I ment:
If {x_n} is a convergent sequence of elements in F, then the limit a =
lim x_n always belongs to F. = F is closed. I thought you used this rule, but no?

That's what you just did. Translate the statement '(blank) is an element of F' to '(blank) is continuous and bounded' where (blank) is anything. Because that's the definition of F!

Thanks for your patience. It took some days, but I get that the two are the same thing now.
