Exercise 4.6.8

Prove that, for a fixed α > 0 , the set D f α is closed.

Answers

We do this by showing the complement is open. Let x ( D f α ) c , by the definition of α -continuity there exists a δ > 0 such that y , z V δ ( x ) have | f ( y ) f ( z ) | < α . To see openness notice V δ 2 ( x ) ( D f α ) c since any x V δ 2 ( x ) is α -continuous with δ = δ 2 .
