real analysis - Function f:[0,1]to[0,1] taking on each value in [0,1] exactly twice



I want to find a function f:[0,1][0,1] such that f takes on each value in [0,1] exactly twice. I think this means there are an infinite number of discontinuities. Can anyone help me figure this one out?



Anyone have any pointers?



Answer



Let xα be a well-ordering of [0,1].



For any ordinal α=θ+n<c where θ is a limit ordinal or 0 and n is a finite ordinal, let F(θ+n2)=F(θ+n2+1)=xα.



Now define f(xα)=F(α) for all α<c and it is clear that f has the required property.
