Metric Spaces MT23, Function spaces


Flashcards

Suppose $X$ is a metric space. Can you define $B(X)$?

\[B(X) = \{f : f(X) \text{ is bounded}\}\]

where each $f : X \to \mathbb R$.

Suppose $X$ is a metric space and that $f \in B(X)$. Can you define $ \vert \vert f \vert \vert _ \infty$?

\[\sup _ {x \in X} \vert f(x) \vert \]

Suppose $X$ is a metric space. Can you define $C(X)$?

\[C(X) = \{f : f \text{ is continuous}\}\]

where each $f : X \to \mathbb R$.

Suppose $X$ is a metric space. Can you define $C _ b(X)$?

\[C(X) \cap B(X)\]

where each $f : X \to \mathbb R$.

Proofs

Prove that if $X$ is a metric space, then $ \vert \vert f \vert \vert _ \infty$ defines a valid norm.

Todo.
