18. Continuous Functions1 Section isthefundamental concept in topology! When you hear that a coffee cup and a doughnut are topologically equivalent, this is really a claimabout the existence of a certain Continuous function (this idea is explored in depthin Chapter 12, Classification of Surfaces ). We start by reviewing some continuityideas from Analysis 1 (MATH 4217/5217). standard definition of continuity of a real valued function of a realvariable at a pointx0in the domain of the functionf,D(f), is as follows ( , page 2) a function andx0 D(f). Thenfiscontin-uous at pointx0iffor all >0 there exits ( )>0 such thatfor all|x x0|< ( ) andx D(f) we have|f(x) f(x0)|< .We then say thatfis Continuous a setA Riffis Continuous at each point following is a consequence of the previous definition (see Theorem 4-5in the Analysis 1 notes mentioned above):Theorem :X Y.
Jun 11, 2016 · 18. Continuous Functions 3 Example 3. Let R have the standard topology and R` have the lower limit topol-ogy. Let f : R → R` be the identity function f(x) = x (which is of course continuous when mapping R → R). Then f is not continuous here since for a < b, [a,b) is open in R` for f−1([a,b)) = [a,b) is not open in R. Note.
