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+n⋅2)=F(θ+n⋅2+1)=xα.
Now define f(xα)=F(α) for all α<c and it is clear that f has the required property.
