Continuity of Monotone Functions
نویسنده
چکیده
Two refractory problems in modern constructive analysis concern real-valued functions on the closed unit interval: Is every function pointwise continuous? Is every pointwise continuous function uniformly continuous? For monotone functions, some answers are given here. Functions which satisfy a certain strong monotonicity condition, and approximate intermediate values, are pointwise continuous. Any monotone pointwise continuous function is uniformly continuous. Continuous inverse functions are also obtained. The methods used are in accord with the principles of Bishop's Foundations of Constructive Analysis, 1967.

متن کاملCone Monotone Functions: Differentiability and Continuity
We provide a porosity based approach to the differentiability and continuity of real valued functions on separable Banach spaces, when the function is monotone with respect to an ordering induced by a convex cone K with non-empty interior. We also show that the set of nowhere K-monotone functions has a σ-porous complement in the space of the continuous functions.
متن کاملA geometrical approach to monotone functions in R n
This paper is concerned with the fine properties of monotone functions on R. We study the continuity and differentiability properties of these functions, the approximability properties, the structure of the distributional derivatives and of the weak Jacobians. Moreover, we exhibit an example of a monotone function u which is the gradient of a C convex function and whose weak Jacobian Ju is supp...

A general notion of completely monotone functionals on an ordered Banach algebra B into a proper H*-algebra A with an integral representation for such functionals is given. As an application of this result we have obtained a characterization for the generalized completely continuous monotone functions on weighted foundation semigroups. A generalized version of Bochner’s theorem on foundation se...
متن کاملContinuity results for a class of variational inequalities with applications to time dependent network problems
We consider a class of monotone variational inequalities in which both the operator and the convex set are parametrized by continuous functions. Under suitable assumptions, we prove the continuity of the solution with respect to the parameter. As an important application, we consider the case of finite dimensional variational inequalities on suitable polyhedra. We demonstrate the applicability ...
