Xingjian Tao's Notes and Question List

Notes

I made notes of some Chapters on LaTex. You can see the PDF here math104_notes.pdf. The organization of definitions and theorems is mainly based on Rudin, though supplemented by Ross. Sometimes I tried to rewrite the contents in a more symbolic way, so there maybe minor mistakes.

Question List

1. How is the definition of limit points related with the concept of limit?

Answer: An element is a limit point of EE iff. it is the limit of some inconstant sequence of points in EE. Inconstant is important because the definition of limit points includes hollow neighborhoods.

2. Suppose EE is an infinite subset of a set KK. Then EE has a limit point in KK iff. KK is compact. Prove this.

Answer: \Longrightarrow can be found in 2.37 Theorem of Rudin. \Longleftarrow can be found in Excercise 26 of Rudin Chapter 2.

3. If ff is a 1-1 continuous function on some interval II, prove f1f^{-1} is continuous.

Answer: 1-1 continuous on an interval \Longrightarrow ff is strictly increasing or decreasing and continuous \Longrightarrow f1f^{-1} is continuous.

4. If ff is a 1-1 continuous function on an open interval II, prove that f(I)f(I) is open.

Answer: According to Question 3, f1f^{-1} is continuous. We know that f1f^{-1} is continuous iff. for every open sets OIO\subset I, f(O)f(O) is open. Since II is open, we have f(I)f(I) is open. (I think there maybe some mistakes so that I may only get f(I)f(I) is open in f(I)f(I) which is useless through my approach. But this proposition cannot be wrong since it's a statement in the proof of Ross 29.9 Theorem)
Oh I See. We can first prove ff must be strictly montonic function and then f(I)f(I) is open.
