I open this question to check my own proof and to ask a related question.
My proof: if g(x) is uniformly continuous in (a,b] and [b,c) then
∀ε1>0,∃δ1>0,∀x∈(a,b]:|x−b|<δ1⟹|g(x)−g(b)|<ε1
∀ε2>0,∃δ2>0,∀y∈[b,c):|y−b|<δ2⟹|g(y)−g(b)|<ε2
If we call ε0=ε1+ε2 and δ0=δ1+δ2 and due triangle inequality
|x−y|≤|x−b|+|y−b||g(x)−g(y)|≤|g(x)−g(b)|+|g(y)−g(b)|
Then we have the case that
∀ε0>0,∃δ0>0,∀x∈(a,b]∧∀y∈[b,c):|x−y|<δ0⟹|g(x)−g(y)|<ε0
And by definition of g(x) we have too that
∀ε0>0,∃δa>0,∀x,y∈(a,b]:|x−y|<δa⟹|g(x)−g(y)|<ε0
∀ε0>0,∃δb>0,∀x,y∈[b,c):|x−y|<δb⟹|g(x)−g(y)|<ε0
Cause (1), (2) and (3) if we took δω=min then we can finally write
\forall\varepsilon_0>0,\exists\delta_{\omega}>0,\forall x,y\in (a,c):|x-y|<\delta_{\omega}\implies|g(x)-g(y)|<\varepsilon_0
Two questions:
- Is my proof right? I think is right but Im not completely sure.
- Can you tell me some different \delta{-}\varepsilon proof for the same problem?
Thank you in advance.
Answer
Let \varepsilon>0. By uniform continuity on (a,b] and [b,c), there is \delta_1>0 s.t. \forall x,y\in (a,b],\ |x-y|<\delta_1\implies |g(x)-g(y)|<\frac{\varepsilon}{2}
and there is \delta_2>0 s.t. \forall x,y\in [b,c),\ |x-y|<\delta_2\implies |g(x)-g(y)|<\frac{\varepsilon}{2}.
Let \delta=\min\{\delta_1,\delta_2\} and x\leq b\leq y s.t. |x-y|\leq \delta. Then,
|g(x)-g(y)|\leq |g(x)-g(b)|+|g(y)-g(b)|\leq \frac{\varepsilon}{2}+\frac{\varepsilon}{2}=\varepsilon.
As you see, \varepsilon is fixed at the beginning. Since it's unspecified, we have the result for all \varepsilon>0, and this prove the claim.
