Proposition 4 (Abel-Dirichlet test for convergence of an integral) Let \( x \mapsto f\left( x\right) \) and \( x \mapsto g\left( x\right) \) be functions defined on an interval \( \lbrack a,\omega \lbrack \) and integrable on every closed interval \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \subset \lbrack a,\omega \lbrack \) ...
Proof For any \( {b}_{1} \) and \( {b}_{2} \) in \( \lbrack a,\omega \lbrack \) we have, by the second mean-value theorem,\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{{b}_{1}}^{{b}_{2}}\left( {f \cdot g}\right) \left( x\right) \mathrm{d}x = g\left( {b}_{1}\right) {\int }_{{b}_{1}}^{\xi }f\left( x\right) \mathrm{d}x + g\left( {b}_{2}\right) {\int...

Example 14 The integral\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{-\infty }^{+\infty }{\mathrm{e}}^{-{x}^{2}}\mathrm{\;d}x \n\]\n\nis called the Euler-Poisson integral, and sometimes the Gaussian integral. It obviously converges in the sense given above.
It will be shown later that its value is \( \sqrt{\pi } \)
No
The integral\n\n\[ \n{\\int }_{0}^{+\\infty }\\frac{\\sin x}{{x}^{\\alpha }}\\mathrm{d}x \n\]\n\nconverges if each of the integrals\n\n\[ \n{\\int }_{0}^{1}\\frac{\\sin x}{{x}^{\\alpha }}\\mathrm{d}x\\;\\text{ and }\\;{\\int }_{1}^{+\\infty }\\frac{\\sin x}{{x}^{\\alpha }}\\mathrm{d}x \n\]\n\nconverges.
The first of these integrals converges if \( \\alpha < 2 \), since\n\n\[ \n\\frac{\\sin x}{{x}^{\\alpha }} \\sim \\frac{1}{{x}^{\\alpha - 1}} \n\]\n\nas \( x \\rightarrow + 0 \) . The second integral converges if \( \\alpha > 0 \), as one can verify directly through an integration by parts similar to the one shown in E...

Example 3 A ball \( B\left( {a;r}\right) \) is an open set in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \).
Indeed, if \( x \in B\left( {a;r}\right) \), that is, \( d\left( {a, x}\right) < r \), then for \( 0 < \delta < r - d\left( {a, x}\right) \), we have \( B\left( {x;\delta }\right) \subset B\left( {a;r}\right) \), since\n\n\[ \left( {\xi \in B\left( {x;\delta }\right) }\right) \Rightarrow \left( {d\left( {x,\xi }\right)...

Example 4 A set \( G = \left\{ {x \in {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \mid d\left( {a, x}\right) > r}\right\} \), that is, the set of points whose distance from a fixed point \( a \in {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) is larger than \( r \), is open.
This fact is easy to verify, as in Example 3, using the triangle inequality for the metric.

Proposition 1 a) The union \( \mathop{\bigcup }\limits_{{\alpha \in A}}{G}_{\alpha } \) of the sets of any system \( \left\{ {{G}_{\alpha },\alpha \in A}\right\} \) of open sets in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) is an open set in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) .
Proof a) If \( x \in \mathop{\bigcup }\limits_{{\alpha \in A}}{G}_{\alpha } \), then there exists \( {\alpha }_{0} \in A \) such that \( x \in {G}_{{\alpha }_{0}} \), and consequently there is a \( \delta \) -neighborhood \( B\left( {x;\delta }\right) \) of \( x \) such that \( B\left( {x;\delta }\right) \subset {G}_{{...

Proposition 2 ( \( F \) is closed in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) ) \( \Leftrightarrow \left( {F = \bar{F}\text{in}{\mathbb{R}}^{m}}\right) \) .
Proof Let \( F \) be closed in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m}, x \in {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \), and \( x \notin F \) . Then the open set \( G = {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \smallsetminus F \) is a neighborhood of \( x \) that contains no points of \( F \) . Thus we have shown that if \( x \notin F \), then \( x \) is not a limit point of \( F \) ...

Proof a) We shall show that any point \( a \in {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) that is a limit point of \( K \) must belong to \( K \) . Suppose \( a \notin K \) . For each point \( x \in K \) we construct a neighborhood \( G\left( x\right) \) such that \( a \) has a neighborhood disjoint from \( G\left( x\right) \) . The set \( \...

Proposition 4 If \( K \) is a compact set in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \), then \( K \) is a bounded subset of \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) .
Proof Take an arbitrary point \( a \in {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) and consider the sequence of open balls \( \{ B\left( {a;n}\right) \} \left( {n = 1,2,\ldots }\right) \) . They form an open covering of \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) and consequently also of \( K \) . If \( K \) were not bounded, it would be impossible to select a fi...

Proposition 5 The set \( K \subset {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) is compact if and only if \( K \) is closed and bounded in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) .
Proof The necessity of these conditions was proved in Propositions 3 and 4.\n\nLet us verify that the conditions are sufficient. Since \( K \) is a bounded set, there exists an \( m \) -dimensional interval \( I \) containing \( K \) . As was shown in Example 13, \( I \) is compact in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) . But if \(...

Theorem 1 Let \( X \) be a set and \( \mathcal{B} \) a base in \( X \) . A function \( f : X \rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) has a limit over the base \( \mathcal{B} \) if and only if for every \( \varepsilon > 0 \) there exists an element \( B \in \mathcal{B} \) of the base on which the oscillation of the function is ...
Thus, \[ \exists \mathop{\lim }\limits_{\mathcal{B}}f\left( x\right) \Leftrightarrow \forall \varepsilon > 0\exists B \in \mathcal{B}\left( {\omega \left( {f;B}\right) < \varepsilon }\right) . \] The proof of Theorem 1 is a verbatim repetition of the proof of the Cauchy criterion for numerical functions (Theorem 4 in S...

Theorem 2 Let \( Y \) be a set, \( {\mathcal{B}}_{Y} \) a base in \( Y \), and \( g : Y \rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) a mapping having a limit over the base \( {\mathcal{B}}_{Y} \). Let \( X \) be a set, \( {\mathcal{B}}_{X} \) a base in \( X \), and \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) a mapping of \( X \) into \( Y \) such th...
The proof of Theorem 2 can be carried out either by repeating the proof of Theorem 5 of Sect. 3.2, replacing \( \mathbb{R} \) by \( {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \), or by invoking that theorem and using relation (7.4).
Yes
Let \( x \mapsto {\pi }^{i}\left( x\right) \) be the mapping \( {\pi }^{i} : {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) assigning to each \( x = \) \( \left( {{x}^{1},\ldots ,{x}^{m}}\right) \) in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) its \( i \) th coordinate \( {x}^{i} \) .

If \( a = \left( {{a}^{1},\ldots ,{a}^{m}}\right) \), then obviously\n\n\[ \n{\pi }^{i}\left( x\right) \rightarrow {a}^{i}\;\text{ as }x \rightarrow a. \n\]\n\nThe function \( x \mapsto {\pi }^{i}\left( x\right) \) does not tend to any finite value nor to infinity as \( x \rightarrow \infty \) if \( m > 1 \) .

Example 2 Let the function \( f : {\mathbb{R}}^{2} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) be defined at the point \( \left( {x, y}\right) \in {\mathbb{R}}^{2} \) as follows:\n\n\[ f\left( {x, y}\right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \frac{xy}{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}}, & \text{ if }{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} \neq 0, \\ 0, & \text{ if }{x}^{2} + {y}^{...
Hence this function has no limit as \( \left( {x, y}\right) \rightarrow \left( {0,0}\right) \).\n\nOn the other hand,\n\n\[ \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{y \rightarrow 0}}\left( {\mathop{\lim }\limits_{{x \rightarrow 0}}f\left( {x, y}\right) }\right) = \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{y \rightarrow 0}}\left( 0\right) = 0 \]\n\n\[ \ma...

The functions \( \left( {{x}^{1},\ldots ,{x}^{m}}\right) { \mapsto }^{{\pi }^{i}}{x}^{i}\left( {i = 1,\ldots, m}\right) \), mapping \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) onto \( \mathbb{R} \) (projections) are obviously continuous at each point \( a = \left( {{a}^{1},\ldots ,{a}^{m}}\right) \in {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \)
since \( \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{x \rightarrow a}}{\pi }^{i}\left( x\right) = {a}^{i} = {\pi }^{i}\left( a\right) \)

Any function \( x \mapsto f\left( x\right) \) defined on \( \mathbb{R} \), for example \( x \mapsto \sin x \), can also be regarded as a function \( \left( {x, y}\right) \overset{F}{ \mapsto }f\left( x\right) \) defined, say, on \( {\mathbb{R}}^{2} \) . In that case, if \( f \) was continuous as a function on \( \mathb...
This can be verified either directly from the definition of continuity or by remarking that the function \( F \) is the composition \( \left( {f \circ {\pi }^{1}}\right) \left( {x, y}\right) \) of continuous functions.
Yes
The function \( f\left( {x, y}\right) \) of Example 2 is continuous at any point of the space \( {\mathbb{R}}^{2} \) except \( \left( {0,0}\right) \).
We remark that, despite the discontinuity of \( f\left( {x, y}\right) \) at this point, the function is continuous in either of its two variables for each fixed value of the other variable.
No
If a function \( f : E \rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) is continuous on the set \( E \) and \( \widetilde{E} \) is a subset of \( E \), then the restriction \( {\left. f\right| }_{\widetilde{E}} \) of \( f \) to this subset is continuous on \( \widetilde{E} \)
as follows immediately from the definition of continuity of a function at a point.

An open ball \( B\left( {a;r}\right), r > 0 \), in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) is a domain.
We already know that \( B\left( {a;r}\right) \) is open in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) . Let us verify that the ball is connected.

Indeed, it follows from the continuity of the function\n\n\[ \n\left( {{x}^{1},\ldots ,{x}^{m}}\right) \mapsto {\left( {x}^{1}\right) }^{2} + \cdots + {\left( {x}^{m}\right) }^{2} \n\]\n\nthat the sphere is closed, and from the fact that \( \left| {x}^{i}\right| \leq r\left( {i = 1,\ldots, m}\right) \) on the sphere th...

Example 13 The open set \( {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \smallsetminus S\left( {0;r}\right) \) for \( r > 0 \) is not a domain, since it is not connected.
Indeed, if \( \Gamma : I \rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) is a path one end of which is at the point \( {x}_{0} = \left( {0,\ldots ,0}\right) \) and the other at some point \( {x}_{1} = \left( {{x}_{1}^{1},\ldots ,{x}_{1}^{m}}\right) \) such that \( {\left( {x}_{1}^{1}\right) }^{2} + \cdots + {\left( {x}_{1}^{m}\right) ...

Using the convention of summation on an index that appears as both a subscript and a superscript, we can write formula (8.27) succinctly:\n\n\[ \mathrm{d}f\left( x\right) h = {\partial }_{i}f\left( x\right) {h}^{i}. \]\n\n(8.28)
Yes
If we had known (as we soon will know) that the function \( f\left( {x, y, z}\right) \) considered in Example 2 is differentiable at the point \( \left( {0,1,0}\right) \), we could have written immediately
\[ \mathrm{d}f\left( {0,1,0}\right) h = 1 \cdot {h}^{1} + 0 \cdot {h}^{2} + 1 \cdot {h}^{3} = {h}^{1} + {h}^{3} \] and accordingly \[ f\left( {{h}^{1},1 + {h}^{2},{h}^{3}}\right) - f\left( {0,1,0}\right) = \mathrm{d}f\left( {0,1,0}\right) h + o\left( h\right) \] or \[ \arctan \left( {{h}^{1}{\left( 1 + {h}^{2}\right) }...

\[ \Delta {\pi }^{i}\left( {x;h}\right) = \left( {{x}^{i} + {h}^{i}}\right) - {x}^{i} = {h}^{i}, \] that is, the increment of this function is itself a linear function in \( h : h\overset{{\pi }^{i}}{ \mapsto }{h}^{i} \) .

obviously imply that every ball \( B\left( {a, r}\right) \) with center at an arbitrary point \( a \in X \) , interpreted in the sense of one of these two metrics, contains a ball with the same center, interpreted in the sense of the other metric. Hence by definition of an open subset of a metric space, it follows that...

If \( \left( {X, d}\right) \) is a metric space and \( \left( {x,\tau }\right) \) the topological space corresponding to it, the set \( \mathfrak{B} = \{ B\left( {a, r}\right) \} \) of all balls, where \( a \in X \) and \( r > 0 \), is obviously a base of the topology \( \tau \).
Moreover, if we take the system \( \mathfrak{B} \) of all balls with positive rational radii \( r \), this system is also a base for the topology.
Yes
If we take the system \( \mathfrak{B} \) of balls in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{k} \) of all possible rational radii \( r = \) \( \frac{m}{n} > 0 \) with centers at all possible rational points \( \left( {\frac{{m}_{1}}{{n}_{1}},\ldots ,\frac{{m}_{k}}{{n}_{k}}}\right) \in {\mathbb{R}}^{k} \), we obviously obtain a countable base...
It is not difficult to verify that it is impossible to define the standard topology in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{k} \) by exhibiting a finite system of open sets. Thus the standard topological space \( {\mathbb{R}}^{k} \) has countable weight.

Example 8 The metric space \( \left( {C\left( {\left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack ,\mathbb{R}}\right), d}\right) \) with the metric defined by (9.6) is also separable.
For, as follows from the uniform continuity of the functions \( f \in C\left( {\left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack ,\mathbb{R}}\right) \), the graph of any such function can be approximated as closely as desired by a broken line consisting of a finite number of segments whose nodes have rational coordinates. The set of suc...

An interval \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) of the set \( \mathbb{R} \) of real numbers in the standard topology is a compact set.
as follows immediately from the lemma of Sect. 2.1.3 asserting that one can select a finite covering from any covering of a closed interval by open intervals.
No
Proposition 1 A subset \( K \) of a topological space \( \left( {X,\tau }\right) \) is a compact subset of \( X \) if and only if \( K \) is compact as a subset of itself with the topology induced from \( \left( {X,\tau }\right) \) .
Proof This proposition follows from the definition of compactness and the fact that every set \( {G}_{K} \) that is open in \( K \) can be obtained as the intersection of \( K \) with some set \( {G}_{X} \) that is open in \( X \) .
No
Lemma 1 (Compact sets are closed) If \( K \) is a compact set in a Hausdorff space \( \left( {X,\tau }\right) \), then \( K \) is a closed subset of \( X \) .
Proof By the criterion for a set to be closed, it suffices to verify that every limit point of \( K,{x}_{0} \in X \), belongs to \( K \) . Suppose \( {x}_{0} \notin K \) . For each point \( x \in K \) we construct an open neighborhood \( G\left( x\right) \) such that \( {x}_{0} \) has a neighborhood disjoint from \( G...
Yes
Lemma 2 (Nested compact sets) If \( {K}_{1} \supset {K}_{2} \supset \cdots \supset {K}_{n} \supset \cdots \) is a nested sequence of nonempty compact sets, then the intersection \( \mathop{\bigcap }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{\infty }{K}_{i} \) is nonempty.
Proof By Lemma 1 the sets \( {G}_{i} = {K}_{1} \smallsetminus {K}_{i}, i = 1,\ldots, n,\ldots \) are open in \( {K}_{1} \) . If the intersection \( \mathop{\bigcap }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{\infty }{K}_{i} \) is empty, then the sequence \( {G}_{1} \subset {G}_{2} \subset \cdots \subset {G}_{n} \subset \cdots \) forms a cover...
Yes
Lemma 3 (Closed subsets of compact sets) A closed subset \( F \) of a compact set \( K \) is itself compact.
Proof Let \( \left\{ {{G}_{\alpha },\alpha \in A}\right\} \) be an open covering of \( F \) . Adjoining to this collection the open set \( G = K \smallsetminus F \), we obtain an open covering of the entire compact set \( K \) . From this covering we can extract a finite covering of \( K \) . Since \( G \cap F = \varno...
Yes
Lemma 4 (Finite \( \varepsilon \) -grids) If a metric space \( \left( {K, d}\right) \) is compact, then for every \( \varepsilon > 0 \) there exists a finite \( \varepsilon \) -grids in \( X \) .
Proof For each point \( x \in K \) we choose an open ball \( B\left( {x,\varepsilon }\right) \) . From the open covering of \( K \) by these balls we select a finite covering \( B\left( {{x}_{1},\varepsilon }\right) ,\ldots, B\left( {{x}_{n},\varepsilon }\right) \) . The points \( {x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n} \) obviously f...
Yes
Lemma 5 If a metric space \( \left( {K, d}\right) \) is such that from each sequence of its points one can select a subsequence that converges in \( K \), then for every \( \varepsilon > 0 \) there exists a finite \( \varepsilon \) -grid.
Proof If there were no finite \( {\varepsilon }_{0} \) -grid for some \( {\varepsilon }_{0} > 0 \), one could construct a sequence \( \left\{ {x}_{n}\right\} \) of points in \( K \) such that \( d\left( {{x}_{n},{x}_{i}}\right) > {\varepsilon }_{0} \) for all \( n \in \mathbb{N} \) and all \( i \in \{ 1,\ldots, n - 1\}...
Yes
Lemma 6 If the metric space \( \left( {K, d}\right) \) is such that from each sequence of its points one can select a subsequence that converges in \( K \), then every nested sequence of nonempty closed subsets of the space has a nonempty intersection.
Proof If \( {F}_{1} \supset \cdots \supset {F}_{n} \supset \cdots \) is the sequence of closed sets, then choosing one point of each, we obtain a sequence \( {x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n},\ldots \), from which we extract a convergent subsequence \( \left\{ {x}_{{n}_{i}}\right\} \) . The limit \( a \in K \) of this sequence, ...

Proposition (Connected subsets of \( \\mathbb{R} \) ) A nonempty set \( E \\subset \\mathbb{R} \) is connected if and only if for any \( x \) and \( z \) belonging to \( E \), the inequalities \( x < y < z \) imply that \( y \\in E \) .
Proof Necessity. Let \( E \) be a connected subset of \( \\mathbb{R} \), and let the triple of points \( a, b, c \) be such that \( a \\in E, b \\in E \), but \( c \\notin E \), even though \( a < c < b \) . Setting \( A = \\{ x \\in E \\mid \) \( x < c\\}, B = \\{ x \\in E \\mid x > c\\} \), we see that \( a \\in A, b...
Yes
The set \( \mathbb{R} \) of real numbers with the standard metric is a complete metric space.
as follows from the Cauchy criterion for convergence of a numerical sequence.
No
If the number 0, for example, is removed from the set \( \mathbb{R} \), the remaining set \( \mathbb{R} \smallsetminus 0 \) will not be a complete space in the standard metric.
Indeed, the sequence \( {x}_{n} = 1/n, n \in \mathbb{N} \), is a Cauchy sequence of points of this set, but has no limit in \( \mathbb{R} \smallsetminus 0 \) .
Yes
If instead of the metric (9.9) we consider the integral metric\n\n\[ d\left( {f, g}\right) = {\int }_{a}^{b}\left| {f - g}\right| \left( x\right) \mathrm{d}x \] \n\non the same set \( C\left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \), the resulting metric space is no longer complete.
Proof For the sake of notational simplicity, we shall assume \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack = \left\lbrack {-1,1}\right\rbrack \) and consider, for example, the sequence \( \left\{ {{f}_{n} \in C\left\lbrack {-1,1}\right\rbrack ;n \in \mathbb{N}}\right\} \) of functions defined as follows:\n\n\[ {f}_{n}\left( x\ri...

It is slightly more difficult to show that even the set \( \mathcal{R}\left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) of real-valued Riemann-integrable functions defined on the closed interval \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) is not complete in the sense of the metric (9.14).
Proof We take \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) to be the closed interval \( \left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack \), and we shall construct a Cantor set on it that is not a set of measure zero. Let \( \Delta \in \rbrack 0,1/3\lbrack \) . We remove from the interval \( \left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack \) the middle piec...

Lemma The following inequality holds for any quadruple of points \( a, b, u, v \) of the metric space \( \left( {X, d}\right) \) :\n\n\[ \left| {d\left( {a, b}\right) - d\left( {u, v}\right) }\right| \leq d\left( {a, u}\right) + d\left( {b, v}\right) . \]
Proof By the triangle inequality\n\n\[ d\left( {a, b}\right) \leq d\left( {a, u}\right) + d\left( {u, v}\right) + d\left( {b, v}\right) . \]\n\nBy the symmetry of the points, this relation implies (9.15).
