Consider a continuous positive definite function: $$ f:D \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+\\ f(0) = 0\\ \forall x \in D \setminus \{0\}: f(x) > 0 $$ where $0 \in D \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ and $D$ is unbounded.
I want to show that $$ \exists \epsilon > 0: \exists r> 0: \forall x \in D:(f(x)=\epsilon \Rightarrow \Vert x \Vert \leq r) $$ which says that there exists $\epsilon > 0$ such that the preimage $f^{-1}[\epsilon]$ is bounded. This is a seemingly true statement but I don't know how to show that. The continuity gives that $f^{-1}[\epsilon]$ is closed in $D$ for all $\epsilon > 0$ but can we say that it is also bounded under the above conditions?
