MA3101: Analysis III: IISER Kolkata Assignment-1 August 27, 2019

1. The document contains 14 problems related to analysis and topology. The problems cover topics like continuity of functions, connectedness of metric spaces, and properties of functions on spheres and Euclidean spaces. 2. Specific problems ask the reader to prove statements about continuous functions, connected subsets, separation axioms, and existence of continuous bijections between Euclidean spaces. 3. The problems progress from basic definitions and implications to more advanced concepts involving path connectedness, boundaries of sets, and properties of functions on spheres.

MA3101 : Analysis III

1. Let f be defined on an open interval (a, b) and let x ∈ (a, b). Consider
the following statements
(a) lim |f (x + h) − f (x)| = 0; (b) lim |f (x + h) − f (x − h)| = 0.
h→0 h→0

Prove that (a) always implies (b), and give an example in which (b)
holds but (a) does not.
2. Given a function f : R → R, define two sets A and B as follows
A = {(x, y) ∈ R2 : y < f (x)}, B = {(x, y) ∈ R2 : y > f (x)}.
Prove that f is continuous on R if and only if both A and B are open
subsets of R2 .
3. Determine whether the following functions f : R2 → R are continuous
or not. 

(a) f (x, y) = (xy) +(x−y)
0, if (x, y) = (0, 0).

(b) f (x, y) =
0, if (x, y) = (0, 0).

xy x2 −y2 , if (x, y) 6= (0, 0),

0, if |x| + |y| = 0.
4. Consider the function f : R2 → R defined as
 α β
 √x y , if (x, y) 6= (0, 0),
f (x, y) = x2 +y 2

connected.
12. Show that the set

S = {(x, y) ∈ R2 : 0 < y ≤ x2 , x 6= 0} ∪ {(0, 0)}

continuous function. Show that there must be a pair of diametrically
opposite points on S at which f assumes the same value.
