Hello, I was looking into this proof

http://www.proofwiki.org/wiki/Lipschitz_Equivalent_Metrics_are_Topologically_Equivalent

and I was wondering how they concluded that

<br /> N_{h\epsilon}(f(x);d_2) \subseteq N_{\epsilon}(x;d_1)
<br /> N_{\frac{\epsilon}{k}}(f(x);d_1) \subseteq N_{\epsilon}(x;d_2)<br />

Couldn't it also be that

<br /> N_{h\epsilon}(f(x);d_2) \supseteq N_{\epsilon}(x;d_1)
<br /> N_{\frac{\epsilon}{k}}(f(x);d_1) \supseteq N_{\epsilon}(x;d_2)<br />


Thanks!

You have proven that if y\in N_{h\varepsilon}(f(x);d_2), then y\in N_\varepsilon(x;d_1). This implies that N_{h\varepsilon}(f(x);d_2)\subseteq N_\varepsilon(x;d_1).

Indeed, saying that A\subseteq B means exactly that all y\in A also have y\in B.
 
Thanks ;)
 
A sphere as topological manifold can be defined by gluing together the boundary of two disk. Basically one starts assigning each disk the subspace topology from ##\mathbb R^2## and then taking the quotient topology obtained by gluing their boundaries. Starting from the above definition of 2-sphere as topological manifold, shows that it is homeomorphic to the "embedded" sphere understood as subset of ##\mathbb R^3## in the subspace topology.
