Prove That H is Defined and Continuous on All of R

A mathematical function the set of whose values is bounded

A schematic illustration of a bounded function (red) and an unbounded one (blue). Intuitively, the graph of a bounded function stays within a horizontal band, while the graph of an unbounded function does not.

In mathematics, a function f defined on some set X with real or complex values is called bounded if the set of its values is bounded. In other words, there exists a real number M such that

| f ( x ) | M {\displaystyle |f(x)|\leq M}

for all x in X.[1] A function that is not bounded is said to be unbounded.[ citation needed ]

If f is real-valued and f(x) ≤ A for all x in X, then the function is said to be bounded (from) above by A. If f(x) ≥ B for all x in X, then the function is said to be bounded (from) below by B. A real-valued function is bounded if and only if it is bounded from above and below.[1] [ additional citation(s) needed ]

An important special case is a bounded sequence, where X is taken to be the set N of natural numbers. Thus a sequence f = (a 0, a 1, a 2, ...) is bounded if there exists a real number M such that

| a n | M {\displaystyle |a_{n}|\leq M}

for every natural number n. The set of all bounded sequences forms the sequence space l {\displaystyle l^{\infty }} .[ citation needed ]

The definition of boundedness can be generalized to functions f : X → Y taking values in a more general space Y by requiring that the image f(X) is a bounded set in Y.[ citation needed ]

[edit]

Weaker than boundedness is local boundedness. A family of bounded functions may be uniformly bounded.

A bounded operator T : X → Y is not a bounded function in the sense of this page's definition (unless T = 0), but has the weaker property of preserving boundedness: Bounded sets M ⊆ X are mapped to bounded sets T(M) ⊆ Y. This definition can be extended to any function f : XY if X and Y allow for the concept of a bounded set. Boundedness can also be determined by looking at a graph.[ citation needed ]

Examples [edit]

  • The sine function sin : RR is bounded since | sin ( x ) | 1 {\displaystyle |\sin(x)|\leq 1} for all x R {\displaystyle x\in \mathbf {R} } .[1] [2]
  • The function f ( x ) = ( x 2 1 ) 1 {\displaystyle f(x)=(x^{2}-1)^{-1}} , defined for all real x except for −1 and 1, is unbounded. As x approaches −1 or 1, the values of this function get larger in magnitude. This function can be made bounded if one restricts its domain to be, for example, [2, ∞) or (−∞, −2].[ citation needed ]
  • The function f ( x ) = ( x 2 + 1 ) 1 {\textstyle f(x)=(x^{2}+1)^{-1}} , defined for all real x, is bounded, since | f ( x ) | 1 {\textstyle |f(x)|\leq 1} for all x.[ citation needed ]
  • The inverse trigonometric function arctangent defined as: y = arctan(x) or x = tan(y) is increasing for all real numbers x and bounded with − π / 2 < y < π / 2 radians[3]
  • By the boundedness theorem, every continuous function on a closed interval, such as f : [0, 1] → R, is bounded.[4] More generally, any continuous function from a compact space into a metric space is bounded.[ citation needed ]
  • All complex-valued functions f : CC which are entire are either unbounded or constant as a consequence of Liouville's theorem.[5] In particular, the complex sin : CC must be unbounded since it is entire.[ citation needed ]
  • The function f which takes the value 0 for x rational number and 1 for x irrational number (cf. Dirichlet function) is bounded. Thus, a function does not need to be "nice" in order to be bounded. The set of all bounded functions defined on [0, 1] is much larger than the set of continuous functions on that interval.[ citation needed ] Moreover, continuous functions need not be bounded; for example, the functions g : R 2 R {\displaystyle g:\mathbb {R} ^{2}\to \mathbb {R} } and h : ( 0 , 1 ) 2 R {\displaystyle h:(0,1)^{2}\to \mathbb {R} } defined by g ( x , y ) := x + y {\displaystyle g(x,y):=x+y} and h ( x , y ) := 1 x + y {\displaystyle h(x,y):={\frac {1}{x+y}}} are both continuous, but neither is bounded.[6] (However, a continuous function must be bounded if its domain is both closed and bounded.[6])
