Exercise 8.5.5

Explain why h is uniformly continuous on R .

Answers

h is continuous on the compact set [ π , π ] and therefore uniformly continuous over this set, and thus for any 𝜖 > 0 we can find δ so that | x x 0 | < δ implies | h ( x ) h ( x 0 ) | < 𝜖 2 , at least if x and x 0 are both in [ π , π ] or both in the same “copy” of h . If they are not, however, then there must be some k = , with n odd, separating them, with | x k | < δ and | k x 0 | < δ . Then

| h ( x ) h ( x 0 ) | | h ( x ) h ( k ) | + | h ( k ) h ( x 0 ) | < 𝜖

showing h is uniformly continuous on all R .
