Exercise 4.6.1

Using modifications of Dirichlet and Thomae’s functions, construct a function f : R R so that

(a)
D f = Z c .
(b)
D f = { x : 0 < x 1 } .

Answers

(a)
Modify the function continuous only at zero to be continuous around integers. f ( x ) = { x round ( x ) if  x Q 0 if  x I

where round ( x ) rounds x to the nearest integer.

(b)
Modify the function continuous only at zero to be continuous below 0 and above 1. Let d ( x ) = { x if  x Q 0 if  x I

then

g ( x ) = { 0 if  x 0 d ( x ) if  0 < x 1 2 if  1 < x
