Problem 3. Consider the unit interval [0, 1], and let ξ be fixed real number with ξ ∈ (0, 1) (note that the case ξ = 1/3 corresponds to the regular Cantor set we learned in our lectures). In stage 1 of the construction, remove the centrally situated open interval in [0, 1] of length ξ. In stage 2 remove the centrally situated open intervals each of relative length ξ (i.e. if the interval has length a you remove an interval of length ξ × a), one in each of the remaining intervals after stage 1, and so on. Let C_ξ denote the set which remains after applying the above procedure indefinitely

(a) Prove that C_ξ is compact.

(b) Prove that C_ξ is totally disconnected and perfect.

(c) Atually, prove that the complement of C_ξ in [0, 1] is the union of open intervals of total length equal to 1.

Real numbers p and q are randomly chosen from the interval 0 to 1, inclusive. If r is given by r = 2(p + q), and p, q, r are rounded to the nearest integers to give P, Q and R, respectively, determine the probability that R = 2(P + Q). (As an example, if p=0.5 and q=0.381, then r=1.762, and so P =1, Q=0, and R=2)

Recall that (a,b)⊆R means an open interval on the real number line: (a,b)={x∈R|a<x<b}. Let ≤ be the usual “less than or equal to” total order on the set A=(−2,0)∪(0,2) Consider the subset B={−1/n | n∈N, n≥1}⊆A. Determine an upper bound for B in A. Then formally prove that B has no least upper bound in A by arguing that every element of A fails the criteria in the definition of least upper bound. Note: least upper bound is an upper...
