Can the supremum of continuous functions be discontinuous at every point of an interval?

Since the function $f$ is supremum of a set of continuous functions, it is lower-semicontinuous.1 Every lower semicontinuous function belongs to the first Baire class.2 If $f\colon \mathbb R\to\math …

Articles with examples of Darboux functions without fixed points

In Exercise 9.C of van Rooij - Schikhoff: A Second Course on Real Functions the following example is given. Take any function $f \colon \mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ such that $f[I]=\mathbb R$ for every …

Is there a Borel-measurable function which maps every interval onto $\mathbb R$?

This is Exercise 9.M from A. C. M. van Rooij, W. H. Schikhof: A Second Course on Real Analysis.$\newcommand{\dcc}[1]{\lfloor#1\rfloor}$ Exercise 9.M. (Another function that maps every interval ont …

Sets closed by sum and solutions to the Cauchy functional equation

Suppose we have a decomposition $\mathbb R=A\cup B$ as described in the question and that $0\in A$. (Clearly, $0\in B$ is impossible, so we have to denote by $A$ the set which contains zero.) Now, le …

Meeting a set of lines in $\mathbb{R}^n$

If we have a set $\mathcal L$ of lines in $\mathbb R^n$ such that $|\mathcal L|=\mathfrak c$, we can get the set $M$ with the desired properties using transfinite induction. Take any well-ordering o …

A net of lower semicontinuous functions

Let us denote $I=[0,1]$ and let us choose $\varepsilon_n=2^{-n}$. Notice that in the situation in the question we have $f=\sup\limits_{\alpha\in A} f_\alpha$, and thus $f$ is a lsc function.$\newcomma …

Do monotone functions on the interval have an "Alexander duality" property?

Let us try to construct $S$ which is a counterexample to (B) by transfinite induction. (In the style of just-do-it1 proofs.) We will use the fact2 that the set $\mathcal M$ of all monotone non-decrea …
