Exercise 7.6.10

Let K be what remains of the interval [ a , b ] after the open intervals G n are all removed; that is, K = [ a , b ] n = 1 N G n . Argue that f is uniformly α -continuous on K .

Answers

Note that since each G n is open, and the union of any collection of open sets is open, n = 1 N G n is open, its complement is closed, and K = [ a , b ] ( n = 1 N G n ) c is closed. K is also bounded so K is compact.

By how we defined G n , f is α -continuous pointwise on K . Taking it as fact that α -continuity on a compact set implies uniform α -continuity, since K is compact, we have that f is uniformly α -continuous on K .
