Statement flagged by 0 users
Reason: Successor over def:compact-space-and-subset-2026b. The nonempty hypothesis is genuinely needed here and is kept. The proof rebuilds the covering step for the corrected definition, cites lem:subspace-topology-is-topology-2026a for the subspace topology, and replaces the citation of lem:absolute-value-properties-2026a by its successor 2026b. · 1,015 chars · 7 deps · depth 8

Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, equipped with the collection of all subsets that are open in (X,d)(X,d), which is a topology by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology. Let KXK\subseteq X be nonempty and compact in XX. Let R\mathbb{R} be the set of real numbers with the order \le of its ordered field structure, and let |\cdot| be the absolute value on R\mathbb{R}.

Let f:KRf:K\to\mathbb{R} be a function with the following continuity property: for every xKx\in K and every real number ε>0\varepsilon>0 there exists a real number δ>0\delta>0 such that every yKy\in K with d(x,y)<δd(x,y)<\delta satisfies

f(y)f(x)<ε.|f(y)-f(x)|<\varepsilon .

Then there exist xmin,xmaxKx_{\min},x_{\max}\in K such that

f(xmin)f(x)f(xmax)for every xK.f(x_{\min})\le f(x)\le f(x_{\max})\qquad\text{for every }x\in K .
