    UM 204 HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT 4

    Posted on February 01, 2024


    (NOT FOR SUBMISSION)

    • These problems are for self-study. Try these on your own before seeking hints.
    • Some of these problems will be (partially) discussed at the next tutorial.
    • A 15-min. quiz based on this assignment will be conducted at the end of the tutorial section.

    Problem 1. Given A, B ⊂ Rn , define

    A + B = {a + b : a ∈ A, b ∈ B}.

    Endow Rn with the standard metric.


    (1) Is A + B open if both A and B are open?
    (2) Is A + B closed if both A and B are closed?

    Problem 2. In this problem, (X, d) denotes a metric space and E ⊂ X denotes a connected
    subset. For each of the claims below, determine whether it is either true (for all metric spaces)
    or false (in some metric space), and provide a justification for your answer.
    (1) E is connected.
    (2) E ◦ is connected. false, take E as two closed balls touching in R2
    (3) bE = E \ E ◦ is connected. E = [1,2] —> bE = {1,2} = {1} U {2} which is the union of 2 separated sets.Thus bE is disconnected

    Problem 3. Let C denote the Cantor set constructed in Lecture 13. Recall that
    \∞
    C= En ,
    j=0

    where each En is a disjoint union of 2n closed intervals of length 1/3n .


    (1) Prove, rigorously, that E contains no interval of the form (a, b), a < b.
    Hint. Recall the form of the open intervals being removed from [0, 1] to construct C.
    (2) Show that every p ∈ C is a limit point of C.
    Hint. Remember that the endpoints of the inervals comprising En are in C for all n ∈ N.
    (3) (Bonus question1) Show that C + C = [0, 2].
    1Not for the quiz.
    UM 204 - ASSIGNMENT 4

    Problem 4. Let p be a prime number. Let dp be the distance on Q defined in HW03. Show
    that {1/pn }n∈N is a divergent sequence, while {pn }n∈N is a convergent sequence in (Q, dp ).
    (Bonus question2) What about the sequence {n}n∈N ?

    Problem 5. Consider the following metrics on R2 :


    d1 (x, y) = |x1 − y1 | + |x2 − y2 |
     21
    d2 (x, y) = |x1 − y1 |2 + |x2 − y2 |2
    d∞ (x, y) = max {|x1 − y1 |, |x2 − y2 |} , x, y ∈ R2 .
    Show that if a sequence in R2 converges in any one of the above metrics, it also converges in the
    other two.

    2Not for the quiz.
