real analysis - Do everywhere discontinuous functions like these one described exist?




These are the properties that such functions should (could?) have:



1) f(R)=R



2) f is everywhere discontinuous



3) Qf(I)



4) f(Q)I




That is, such functions should (could?) have all these properties simultaneously: They map the whole R onto the whole R, they are everywhere discontinuous, they map the set of all irrational numbers I into some set that contains all rationals, and they map the set of all rationals into some subset of the set of all irrationals.



Remark: This is not a homework, I am just eager into doing research of everywhere discontinuous functions.


Answer



Let g:IR be onto (such a function exists because I and R have the same cardinality), and partition Q into two disjoint dense sets Q1,Q2. Then let
f(x)={g(x),xI2,xQ12,xQ2.
