SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the proof of Lipschitz Equivalent Metrics being Topologically Equivalent, specifically analyzing the inclusion relationships between neighborhoods defined by different metrics. The key conclusions are that if \( y \in N_{h\varepsilon}(f(x);d_2) \), then it follows that \( y \in N_\varepsilon(x;d_1) \), establishing the subset relationship \( N_{h\varepsilon}(f(x);d_2) \subseteq N_\varepsilon(x;d_1) \). The participants clarified that subset notation implies all elements of one set are contained within another, reinforcing the logical structure of the proof.

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

[tex] N_{h\epsilon}(f(x);d_2) \subseteq N_{\epsilon}(x;d_1)[/tex]
[tex] N_{\frac{\epsilon}{k}}(f(x);d_1) \subseteq N_{\epsilon}(x;d_2)[/tex]

Couldn't it also be that

[tex] N_{h\epsilon}(f(x);d_2) \supseteq N_{\epsilon}(x;d_1)[/tex]
[tex] N_{\frac{\epsilon}{k}}(f(x);d_1) \supseteq N_{\epsilon}(x;d_2)[/tex]


Thanks!

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

Indeed, saying that [itex]A\subseteq B[/itex] means exactly that all [itex]y\in A[/itex] also have [itex]y\in B[/itex].
 
Thanks ;)
