Statement flagged by 0 users
Reason: New foundational lemma: restrictions preserve relative metric continuity and the derivative at interior points, grounded in def:continuous-map-metric-spaces-2026a and def:derivative-interior-point-c54-2026b.

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,tRs,t\in\mathbb{R} write s<ts<t to mean that sts\le t and sts\ne t.

1. (Continuity) Let BAXB\subseteq A\subseteq X, let f:AYf:A\to Y, let xBx\in B, and let fB:BYf|_{B}:B\to Y denote the restriction of ff, given by fB(y)=f(y)f|_{B}(y)=f(y) for yBy\in B. If ff is continuous at xx relative to AA, then fBf|_{B} is continuous at xx relative to BB. Consequently, if ff is continuous on AA, then fBf|_{B} is continuous on BB.

2. (Derivative) Let II and JJ be intervals with JIJ\subseteq I, let f:IRf:I\to\mathbb{R}, and let x0Jx_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 fJ:JRf|_{J}:J\to\mathbb{R} is differentiable at x0x_0 and

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