Points of differentiability of squared distance from a point in metric spaces

I posted this same question on MSE with no answer. Let $I:=(0, + \infty)$ and let $(X,d)$ be a complete and separable metric space. In this setting we say that $u : I \to X$ is absolutely continuous ...

Hausdorff-Lipschitz continuity of cone correspondence

Let $\mathbb{R}_+$ denote the strictly positive real numbers, let $\mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and $\mathcal{P} \subset \mathbb{R}^m$ be compact and convex subsets, let \begin{equation} f: \...

Variants of Dirichlet-type function as a pointwise limit of continuous functions

Problem Suppose $f$ is a function from a complete metric space $X$ to a metric space $Y$, and suppose $Y$ has points $y_{0}$, $y_{1}$ such that the subsets $f^{-1}(y_{0})$ and $f^{-1}(y_{1})$ are both ...

Is there good evidence that topological spaces are the correct way to study the general theory of continuity? [closed]

My reason for asking is that the theory of metric spaces is so clean and so many significant theorems can be proved for an arbitrary metric space (which makes it plausible to me that metric spaces are ...

Uniformly open map on a dense subset

Schauder's lemma asserts that you can always extend a uniformly continuous, uniformly open map from a dense subset of a complete metric space to a uniformly open map on the completion. I think the ...

Does uniform continuity of bounded continuous functions implies the same for all continuous functions on a uniform space?

Recently I came to know about Atsuji space from the paper1. A metric space $X$ is called an Atsuji space if every real-valued continuous function on $X$ is uniformly continuous. Strikingly I have ...

Topologies and Borel $\sigma$-fields on disjoint unions

Consider a set of functions $\mathcal{F}$ on $E$ where $E \subset\mathbb{R}^k$ - e.g. the class of $L_1$ functions on $[0,1]$ - and endow it with a suitable metric $d$ that makes it Polish. Consider ...

An extension for lower semi continuous lower bounded real valued functions class

Let $(X,d)$ be a complete metric space. I need some explanations about the class of all functions like $f$ which have $f:X \to \mathbb{R}\cup\{ +\infty\}$, be a lower bounded and, for all $y \in X$ we ...
