20122: Starter Problems 16

Starter Problem - Lecture 1.

In any metric space (X, d), prove that

B2 (x) B3 (x), B 2 (x) B3 (x), and B 2 (x) B 3 (x)

for any x X.

Starter Problem - Lecture 2.

Suppose the graph lies in the complex plane, with 13 vertices

V = {0, 1, 2, 3, i, 2i, 3i}

and 12 edges

E = {[0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [0, i], [i, 2i], [2i, 3i]} ;

sketch . Describe the balls B2 (0) and B 2 (i) with respect to the edge metric e,
and compute e(2, 3i).

Starter Problem - Lecture 3.

Compute dsup (x2 , x) in C[0, 1], and d1 (x2 , x) in L1 [0, 1].

Starter Problem - Lecture 4. P

Let X be the space of sequences (ai : i 0) such that i ai is absolutely
convergent, equipped with the l1 metric; find the smallest real number r for
which the point (1, 1/3, . . . , 1/3i , . . . ) lies in B r (0).

Starter Problem - Lecture 5.

Sketch the set of points P :={(x1 , x2 ) : 0 < x1 , x2 < 1} in the Euclidean plane,
and prove that it is open. [This notation means 0 < x1 < 1 and 0 < x2 < 1]

Starter Problem - Lecture 6.

Prove that the set P R2 of Problem 5 is not closed. Calculate its closure.
