Homework 7. Due Friday 9 October.

  • Can a finite set have a limit point?
  • Give an example of an infinite set with no limit points.
  • Give an example of a set S such that S’ = S. Here S’ is the set of limit points of S.
  • Problem 4.6. You may wish to use the following outline (filling in carefully all details).
      Suppose \(p\in X \) and for every \( \epsilon >0 \) there is an \(s \in S’\) such that \( 0< d(p,s)<\epsilon.\) For positive integers \(n, \) choose \(s_n \in S'\) such that \(0<d(s_n,p)< \frac 1n. \) Show, for each positive integer \(n,\) there exists \(q_n \in S\) such that \(d(s_n,q_n) < d(s_n,p). \) Conclude \( p \in S' \). Conclude, if \( p\notin S^\prime \) then there is an \( \epsilon>0\) such that \( N_\epsilon(p)\cap S^\prime =\emptyset.\) Conclude \( S^\prime \) is closed.

Homework 6. Due Wednesday 7 October. Exercise 4.2.



Homework 5. Due Friday 18 September.

    In the metric space \( \mathbb R^2 \) with the Euclidean distance, show that the set \( E=\{(x_1,x_2): |x_1|\ne |x_2|\} \) is open. Show the set \( F=\{(x_1,x_2): x_1=x_2\} \) is not open. If instead \( \mathbb R^2 \) is give the discrete metric is \( E \) open? Is \( F \) open?

Homework 4. Due Friday 11 September. Problem 2.6.

Homework 3. Due Wednesday 9 September. Problem 2.3.

Homework 2. Due Wednesday 2 September. Problem 1.6. Namely, show that the set \( \mathcal F\) of finite subsets of \( \mathbb N^+ \) is at most countable. If you are looking for a strategy, here is a suggestion: Observe \( \mathcal F = \cup_{n=1}^\infty P(J_n) \) and use Problems 1.4 and 1.5.
