Let be what remains of the interval after the open intervals are all removed; that is, . Argue that is uniformly -continuous on .
Answers
Note that since each is open, and the union of any collection of open sets is open, is open, its complement is closed, and is closed. is also bounded so is compact.
By how we defined , is -continuous pointwise on . Taking it as fact that -continuity on a compact set implies uniform -continuity, since is compact, we have that is uniformly -continuous on .
