Challenge 14

Find a function $f:\mathbb {R} \to \mathbb {R}$ such that $f$ is infinitiely differentiable, $0\leq f(x)\leq 1$ for all $x\in \mathbb {R}$, $f(x)=1$ if $\left|x\right|\leq 1$ and $f(x)=0$ if $\left|x\right|\geq 2$.

Challenge 15

Suppose that a function $g:\mathbb {R} \to \mathbb {R}$ is locally a polynomial, which means that for every $c\in \mathbb {R}$ there exists $\epsilon >0$ such that $g$ coincides with a polynomial on the interval $\left(c-\epsilon ,c+\epsilon \right)$. Prove that $g$ is a polynomial.

The Riemann Integral

Partitions of an Interval

A partition of a closed bounded interval $[a,b]$ is a finite subset $P\subset [a,b]$ that includes the endpoints $a$ and $b$.

Let $x_{0},x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n}$ be the list of elements of $P$ arranged in ascending order so that $x_{0}<x_{1}<\dots <x_{n}$. By definition, $x_{0}=a$ and $x_{n}=b$. These points split the interval $[a,b]$ into finitely many subintervals $[x_{0},x_{1}],[x_{1},x_{2}],\ldots ,[x_{n-1},x_{n}]$.

The norm of the partition $P$, denoted $\|P\|$ is the maximum of lengths of those subintervals, hence

$\|P\|=\max _{1\leq j\leq n}(x_{j}-x_{j-1})$

Given two partitions $P$ and $Q$ of the same interval, we say that $Q$ is a refinement of $P$ (or that $Q$ is finer than $P$) if $P\subset Q$. Observe that $P\subset Q$ implies $\|Q\|\leq \|P\|$.

For any two partitions $P$ and $Q$ of the interval $[a,b]$, the union $P\cup Q$ is also a partition that refines both $P$ and $Q$.

Darboux Sums

Let $P=\left\{x_{0},x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n}\right\}$ be a partition of an interval $[a,b]$, where $x_{0}=a<x_{1}<\dots <x_{n}=b$. Let $f:[a,b]\to \mathbb {R}$ be a bounded function.

The upper Darboux sum (or the upper Riemann sum) of the function $f$ over the partition $P$ is the number

$U(f,P)=\sum _{j=1}^{n}M_{j}(f)\,\Delta _{j}\,\!$

where $\Delta _{j}=x_{j}-x_{j-1}$ and $M_{j}(f)=\sup {f([x_{j-1}])}$ for $j=1,2,\ldots ,n$.

Likewise, the lower Darboux sum (or the lower Riemann sum) of $f$ over $P$ is the number

$L(f,P)=\sum _{j=1}^{n}m_{j}(f)\,\Delta _{j}\,\!$

Where $m_{j}(f)=\inf {f([x_{j-1}])}$ for $j=1,2,\ldots ,n$.

Note: These sums were originally introduced by Darboux, not Riemann

Properties

$L(f,P)\leq U(f,P)$

indeed $\inf {f(J)}\leq \sup {f(J)}$ for any subinterval $J\in [a,b]$.

$U(f,p)\leq \sup {f([a,b])}\cdot (b-a)$

We have $\sup {f(J)}\leq \sup {f([a,b])}$ for any subinterval $J\subset [a,b]$. Then $\sup {f(J)}\cdot \left|J\right|\leq \sup {f([a,b])}\cdot \left|J\right|$, where $\left|J\right|$ is the length of $J$. Summing up over all subintervals $J$ created by the partition $P$, we obtain $U(f,P)\leq \sup {f([a,b])}\cdot (b-a)$.

$\inf {f([a,b])}\cdot (b-a)\leq L(f,P)$

Analogous to previous proof

Remark. Observe that $\sup {f([a,b])}\cdot (b-a)=U(f,P_{0})$ and $\inf {f([a,b])}\cdot (b-a)=L(f,P_{0})$, where $P_{0}=\left\{a,b\right\}$ is the trivial partition.

$L(f,P)\leq L(f,Q)\leq U(f,Q)\leq U(f,P)$ for any partition $Q$ that refines $P$.

Every subinterval $J$ created by partition $P$ is the union of one or more subintervals $J_{1},J_{2},\ldots ,J_{k}$ created by $Q$. Since $\sup {f(J_{i})}\leq \sup {f(J)}$ for $1\leq i\leq k$ ($J$ is a larger set, so its supremum can only increase compared with $J_{i}$), it follows that $\sum _{i=1}^{k}\sup {f(J_{i})}\cdot \left|J_{i}\right|\leq \sup {f(J)}\cdot \sum _{i=1}^{k}\left|J_{i}\right|=\sup {f(J)}\cdot \left|J\right|$. Summing up this inequality over all subintervals $J$, we obtain $U(f,Q)\leq U(f,P)$. The inequality $L(f,P)\leq L(f,Q)$ is proved similarly, considering supremum and flipping the inequalities.

$L(f,P)\leq U(f,Q)$ for any partitions $P$ and $Q$ of the same interval $[a,b]$.

Since $P\cup Q$ refines both $P$ and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Q} , it follows from above that Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle L(f,P) \le L(f, P \cup Q)} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle U(f, P \cup Q) \le U(f,Q)} .

Let Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle J = \left[ x_{j-1}, x_j \right]} be an arbitrary subinterval of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle [a,b]} created by Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle P} . By the extreme value theorem, there are ponits Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x_-, x_+ \in J} such that Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x_+) = \sup{f(J)}} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x_-) = \inf{f(J)}} . Since Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \left\| P \right\| < \delta} the length of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle J} satisfies Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \left| J \right| < \delta} . Then Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \left| x_+ - x_- \right| \le \left| J \right| < \delta} so that Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \left| f(x_+) - f(x_-) \right| < \frac{\epsilon}{b-a}} . It follows that Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \sup{f(J)} \cdot \left| J \right| - \inf{f(J)} \cdot \left| J \right| < \frac{\epsilon \, \left| J \right|}{b-a}} . Summing up the latter inequality over all subintervals Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle J} , we obtain that Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle U(f,P) - L(f,P) < \epsilon} .
