I am asked to prove the following. Suppose D is a closed and bounded subset of R and suppose f:D→R is continuous on D. Then f is uniformly continuous:
Proof: Suppose by contradiction that {xn} and {yn} are sequences in D s.t.
limn→∞[xn−yn]=0
and the sequence [f(xn)−f(yn)] does not converge to 0.
We want to negate the statement of convergence for the above s.t. we have: "There exists an ϵ>0 s.t. for all natural number k there exists an nk>k s.t. |f(xnk)−f(vnk)|≥ϵ.
Now apply the sequential compactness theorem to {xnk} which is a subset of D. There is a limit point x0 s.t. there is a further subsequence {xnkj} s.t. the limit as j tends to infinity is x0, which is in D.
Now here's what I am supposed to prove: By supposing that {xn} and {yn} are sequences satisfying the fact that the image of a continuous function on a closed bounded interval is bounded above and assuming {xn} converges to x I want to show that the limit as j tends to infinity of ynkj is x0. How would you do this part?
So basically I am just proving this one last part of the proof.
