real analysis - Prove that if g(x) is uniformly continuous in (a,b] and [b,c) then is uniformly continuous in (a,c)



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]:|xb|<δ1|g(x)g(b)|<ε1
ε2>0,δ2>0,y[b,c):|yb|<δ2|g(y)g(b)|<ε2




If we call ε0=ε1+ε2 and δ0=δ1+δ2 and due triangle inequality




|xy||xb|+|yb||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):|xy|<δ0|g(x)g(y)|<ε0




And by definition of g(x) we have too that




ε0>0,δa>0,x,y(a,b]:|xy|<δa|g(x)g(y)|<ε0

ε0>0,δb>0,x,y[b,c):|xy|<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:





  1. Is my proof right? I think is right but Im not completely sure.

  2. 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.
