Question about limits and continuity
How to solve this problem?
Let R stand for the real numbers. Let C stand for the complex numbers. Let K = R or K = C. Let f: K → Kn be a map,n∈N. Let x, h ∈ K. Consider the following statements:
- Thereisy∈Kn suchthatthemapggivenbyg(0)=y,g(h)=h−1(f(x+h)−f(x)) forh̸=0iscontinuousin0.
- Thereexistsamapφ:K→Kn andy∈Kn suchthatf(x+h)=f(x)+hy+hφ(h),φ(0)=0,andφiscontinuo us
in 0. - f is continuous at x.
Now, do the following:
- Discuss why the statement 1 means that f is differentiable, i.e., the tangent-line is the limit of secant-lines!
- Discuss the connection of statement 2 with Taylor’s formula! You can quote Taylor’s formula from a book/course whichyou know.
- Show with detailed arguments and the means of our course that statements 1⇔2⇒3. (This shows that differentiablefunctions are continuous).
- Use statement 2 and estimates for properly chosen converging series to show with the means of our course that theexponential function z → exp(z), z ∈ C is complex (and thus real) differentiable.
: To show that statements 1⇔2 in subtask 3, express φ with g and vice versa. To show that statements 2⇒3, consider
HINT
hν = xν − x where the xν have limit x. To show that the exponential function is differentiable, start with exp(x + h) =exp(x) exp(h) = exp(x)(1 + h + · · ·). Then make a detailed estimate/argument why φ is a converging sum (well-defined) andφ is continuous and φ(0) = 0.

Question about completeness
Let xν ∈ Rn, ν, n ∈ N. The sequence (xν )ν∈N is called a Cauchy sequence, if∀ε>0∃νo∈Nsuchthatν1 >νo andν2 >νo imply||xν1 −xν2||<ε
i.e., elements in the tail of the sequence are (arbitrarily) close together. Now, do the following:
1. Let n=1, i.e., xν ∈ R. Show with the means of our course that every Cauchy sequence in R as above has a limit
x ∈ R. That means: for every Cauchy sequence (xν)ν∈N in R, there exists x ∈ R such that x = limν→∞xν.
The above means for example that π exists, since π’s finite-digits rational approximations 3, 3.1, 3.14, 3.141, 3.1415.. .
form a Cauchy sequence (provided it can be determined).
2. Use subtask 1 above to show with the means of our course that every Cauchy sequence in Rn as above has a limitx ∈ Rn. That means: for every Cauchy sequence (xν)ν∈N in Rn, there exists x ∈ Rn such that x = limν→∞xν. Inmathematical terms, you have shown that Rn is a Banach space.
Attachment 48833Attachment 48833: To prove subtask 1, you can employ our theorem about the existence of limsupν →∞ xν and liminf ν →∞ xν . For the proof

of subtask 2, apply a result of our course about component-wise convergence.

Question about open, closed, compact sets
Show with detailed comment and the means of our course that
1. U = (0, 2017) × (0, 2017) × (0, 2017) is an open subset of R3.
2. A = {(x1,x2,x3,. x17) ∈ R17:(x20+x20+x20+x20+x20+x20+x20+x20)·(x17+x17+x17 +x17+x17+x17+x17+x17+x17) = 2017}

3. K = {(x1, x2017) ∈ R2017: 1008 |xk|1/20 = 2017 |xk|17 ≤ 2017}k=1 k=1009
is a compact subset of R2017.
4. Letx,xν ∈Rn,ν,n∈Nsuchthatx=limν→∞xν.LetL={xν:ν∈N}∪{x}.Show thatLiscompact.
: For the proof of subtask 1, you can (a) employ a suitable (continuous?) linear map, (b) employ projections p1,
HINT
p2 and p3 onto the components of R3, or (c) consider the relationship between open sets and converging sequences.For the proof of subtask 2, you can (a) write A as the inverse image of a certain set under a continuous function, or (b)consider the relationship between closed sets and converging sequences. For the proof of statements 3 and 4, you mayuse a characterization (the only!) of compact sets in Rn from our class.

Question about continuous functions
Let p: [0,1] → [0,1] be given by
p(x)=(x2 +x3 +x5 +x7 +x11 +x13 +x17)/7=floor(x)+p(x−floor(x))
.Letf:R+ →R+ begivenby
f (x) = floor(x) + p(x − floor(x)).Examples: floor(0) = 0, floor(0.4) = 0, floor(4) = 4, floor(4.4) = 4.
1. Show with detailed comment the means of our course that f is a well-defined, continuous function.2. Show with detailed comment the means of our course that f is bijective.
3. Show with detailed comment the means of our course that f −1 is a continuous function.: For the proof of subtask 1, you can prove by induction that f is continuous on [1 − n, n] for n ∈ N. The Induction-
HINT
Foundation n=1 may require some work. In the Induction-Step n ⇒ n + 1, you can use the Glueing Lemma from our course.For the proof of subtask 2, you show and use that f is strictly monotone increasing. And you can use the Intermediate ValueTheorem. For the proof of subtask 3, consider a converging sequence in R and restrict f to an interval [−N,N] where N islarge enough (for what?). Then, observe that [−N, N ] is compact. This argument is similar to the proof in our course that thesquare-root (and other root-functions) is continuous.
