Restriction Stability of Continuity and of the Derivative

Statement

Let (X,dX)(X,d_X) and (Y,dY)(Y,d_Y) be metric spaces, and let R\mathbb{R} be the set of real numbers with the order ≤\le of its ordered field structure; for s,t∈Rs,t\in\mathbb{R} write s<ts<t to mean that s≤ts\le t and s≠ts\ne t.

1. (Continuity) Let B⊆A⊆XB\subseteq A\subseteq X, let f:A→Yf:A\to Y, let x∈Bx\in B, and let f∣B:B→Yf|_{B}:B\to Y denote the restriction of ff, given by f∣B(y)=f(y)f|_{B}(y)=f(y) for y∈By\in B. If ff is continuous at xx relative to AA, then f∣Bf|_{B} is continuous at xx relative to BB. Consequently, if ff is continuous on AA, then f∣Bf|_{B} is continuous on BB.

2. (Derivative) Let II and JJ be intervals with J⊆IJ\subseteq I, let f:I→Rf:I\to\mathbb{R}, and let x0∈Jx_0\in J be an interior point of JJ. Then x0x_0 is an interior point of II; and if ff is differentiable at x0x_0, then the restriction f∣J:J→Rf|_{J}:J\to\mathbb{R} is differentiable at x0x_0 and

(f∣J)′(x0)=f′(x0).(f|_{J})'(x_0)=f'(x_0) .
