A Continuous Function on a Compact Set Admits a Nondecreasing Modulus of Continuity
lemmaAnalysisTopologylem:modulus-of-continuity-compact-2026aA real-valued continuous function on a nonempty compact subset of a metric space admits a modulus of continuity that is nondecreasing and dominates the oscillation of the function at every scale.
Let be a metric space, equipped with the collection of all subsets that are open in , which is a topology by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology. Let be the ordered field of real numbers, let be the absolute value on , let be the real line, so that , and let .
Let be nonempty and compact in , and let be continuous on , as a map into .
Then there exists a modulus of continuity with the following two properties.
1. (Monotonicity)¶ for all with .
2. (Domination)¶ For all and every with ,
