Compactness and Enlargement












0












$begingroup$


Consider a bounded continuous function that satisfies $|f(x)|leqepsilon$ on a compact set K. I am asked to prove that there is a $delta$ enlargement of K, $K^delta$ such that
$$|f(x)|leq2epsilon ,forall xin K^delta$$
$K^delta={x|d(x,K)<delta}$ for some metric.



The hint says uses the compactness of K. I was trying to use the finite covering property of K but the argument does not go through when I try to select a $delta$. I would like to know if there is some alternative way to prove the above claim.

    there is no specification of that. x is in a general metric space D and f is a bounded and continuous function.

Hint: for each $xin K$ there is a $delta_x>0$ such that $yin B(x,delta_x)Rightarrow f(y)in B(f(x),epsilon).$ Then, $Ksubseteq bigcup_{xin K}B(x,delta_x)$ and $mathscr A={B(x,delta_x):xin K}$ is a cover of $K$. Reduce to a finite subcover and unravel the definitions.

    Then my question is that suppose we have picked the finite cover and found the minimum radius $delta_{x^*}$ for example. How can we make sure that K^{delta_{x^*}} is what we want? There may be points that are included in the finite subcover but their $delta_{x^*}$ balls does not satisfy the desired criterion.

    because if $xin K$ then $yin B(x,frac{1}{2}delta_x)Rightarrow d(y,K)le d(y,x)<delta_xRightarrow d(f(y),f(x))<2epsilon $.

Geschichte | Der heutige Ida-Boy-Ed-Garten wurde ursprünglich als Verlängerung der Wakenitzmauer angelegt. 1903 wurde in den erhaltenen Teil der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer, an dem die Wakenitzmauer bei der Einmündung der Kaiserstraße begann, ein Tor mit einem großen Bogen für die Durchführung der Straße und zwei kleineren seitlichen Öffnungen für Fußgänger gebrochen, um für die neu errichteten Wohnhäuser in diesem Bereich ...
