函数极限性。简单而言,上一节定义的limiting values of functions如果等于函数在这一点的值,就是函数连续。连续性用ε-δ定义和序列定义是等价的,可以证明很多函数都是连续的
Exercise 9.4.1
( a ) ⇔ ( b ):
( f is continuous at x 0 ) ⇔ ( lim x → x 0 ; x ∈ X f ( x ) = f ( x 0 ) ) ⇔ ( ( ∀ ( a n ) n = 0 ∞ ∈ E , lim n → ∞ a n = x 0 ) ⇒ lim n → ∞ f ( a n ) = f ( x 0 ) ) \begin{aligned}(f\text{ is continuous at }x_0) &⇔ (\lim_{x→x_0;x∈X}f(x)=f(x_0 )) \\&⇔((∀(a_n )_{n=0}^∞∈E,\lim_{n→∞}a_n=x_0 )⇒\lim_{n→∞}f(a_n)=f(x_0))\end{aligned} (f is continuous at x0)⇔(x→x0;x∈Xlimf(x)=f(x0))⇔((∀(an)n=0∞∈E,n→∞liman=x0)⇒n→∞limf(an)=f(x0))
( a ) implies ( c ):
Get directly from the definition of lim x → x 0 ; x ∈ X f ( x ) = f ( x 0 ) \lim_{x→x_0;x∈X}f(x)=f(x_0 ) limx→x0;x∈Xf(x)=f(x0).
( c ) implies ( d ):
Obviously true.
( d ) implies ( a ):
Let ∀ ϵ > 0 ∀ϵ>0 ∀ϵ>0, then due to (d), ∃ δ ′ > 0 ∃δ'>0 ∃δ′>0, s.t. ∣ f ( x ) − f ( x 0 ) ∣ ≤ ϵ / 2 |f(x)-f(x_0)|≤ϵ/2 ∣f(x)−f(x0)∣≤ϵ/2 for every x ∈ X x∈X x∈X with ∣ x − x 0 ∣ ≤ δ ′ |x-x_0 |≤δ' ∣x−x0∣≤δ′, so if we let δ = δ ′ δ=δ' δ=δ′, then ∣ x − x 0 ∣ < δ |x-x_0 |<δ ∣x−x0∣<δ means ∣ x − x 0 ∣ ≤ δ ′ |x-x_0 |≤δ' ∣x−x0∣≤δ′, and
∣ f ( x ) − f ( x 0 ) ∣ ≤ ϵ / 2 ⇒ ∣ f ( x ) − f ( x 0 ) ∣ < ϵ ⇒ lim x → x 0 ; x ∈ X f ( x ) = f ( x 0 ) |f(x)-f(x_0)|≤ϵ/2 ⇒|f(x)-f(x_0 )|<ϵ ⇒ \lim_{x→x_0;x∈X}f(x)=f(x_0 ) ∣f(x)−f(x0)∣≤ϵ/2⇒∣f(x)−f(x0)∣<ϵ⇒x→x0;x∈Xlimf(x)=f(x0)
Exercise 9.4.2
First for every x 0 ∈ X x_0∈X x0∈X, we have
lim x → x 0 ; x ∈ X f ( x ) = lim x → x 0 ; x ∈ X c = c = f ( x 0 ) \lim_{x→x_0;x∈X}f(x)=\lim_{x→x_0;x∈X}c=c=f(x_0 ) x→x0;x∈Xlimf(x)=x→x0
