Continuity of confluent hypergeometric function in terms of its parameters

The confluent hyper geometric function of the first kind (or the Kummer's function) is defined as $${\mathbf{M}}\left(a,b,z\right)=\frac{1}{\Gamma\left(a\right)\Gamma\left(b-a% \right)}\int_{0}^{1}e^{...

Proof that a homeomorphism map boundaries to boundaries

I want to prove that if I have two topological spaces $X$ and $Y$, with $A \subset X$, and a homeomorphism $f : X \to Y$, then $f(\partial A) = \partial \big(f(A)\big)$. I saw a proof here: https://...

Question about proof of Lindelöf Theorem

Supose that $\gamma : [0,1] \to \overline{\mathbb{D}}$ is continuous, $\gamma(t) \in \mathbb{D}$ for $0 \le t < 1$ and $\gamma(1) = 1$. Suppose that $f \in H(\mathbb{D})$ is bounded. If $f(\gamma(t)...

Is there a simple way to interpolate smoothly between levels of a complex-valued quadratic map?

I have two complex numbers, $a = x_1 + y_1 i$ and $c = x_2 + y_2 i$. These serve as inputs to a quadratic map $f_n = f_{n - 1}^2 + c$, with $f_0 = a$. Thus the first few iterations of the map are: $...

Identity theorem for (real) analytic functions on lower dimensional subsets

For simplicity, we will deal with $\mathbb{R}^2$. Let's assume we have an one-dimensional submanifold $M_1 \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ and two analytic function $F,G: M_1 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. If I know $...

Continuity of real part of a complex function

Consider a function $g(z)$ which is analytic on $\mathbb{C}_+$, and its range is contained in $\mathbb{C}_-$. Suppose that $g$ has a continuous extension to $\mathbb{C}_+ \cup \mathbb{R}$, denoted by $...

Does the supremum norm $\|p\|_{A}$ depend continuously on subsets $A\subset\mathbb{C}$ with respect to the Hausdorff distance?

Consider the space $\mathcal{K}$ of all non-empty compact subsets of $\mathbb{C}$. One can show that the Hausdorff distance defined by $$h(X,Y)=\max\bigg\{\sup_{x\in X}\inf_{y\in Y}|x-y|,\sup_{y\in Y}\...

A function satisfying a condition is a polynomial of degree $\leq 1$

Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function s.t $f(x)=\frac12(f(x+r)+f(x-r))$ for every $r>0, x\in\mathbb{R}$. Prove that $f$ is a polynomial of degree $\leq 1$. This is a question ...

Continuity assumption in uniqueness of primitives (up to a constant)

Stein and Shakarchi asks us to prove that if $f$ is continuous in an open and connected set $\Omega$ that any two primitives of $f$ differ by a constant. I don't understand why the continuity ...

Define an operator $T\in B(C[0,1])$ such that: $(Tf)(x)=xf(x)$ for all $x\in [0,1]$ and $f\in C[0,1]$. Prove that $T$ has no eignvalues

Define an operator $T\in B(C[0,1])$ such that: $(Tf)(x)=xf(x)$ for all $x\in [0,1]$ and $f\in C[0,1]$. Prove that $T$ has no eignvalues and find $\sigma(T)$. I think that what is meant is to show that ...

Use of uniformity of a limit for proof of continuity when right continuity is known

Consider a function $f: [0,\infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. Suppose that, for any $t \in (0, \infty)$ $$ \lim_{h \downarrow 0 } \, \, ( f(t+h) - f(t) )= O(h), $$ namely that the function $f$ is ...

If $g: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ then there is a $h$ entire analytic function that extends $ g $

Let $g: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function, such that $g(x)>0$, for all $ x \in \mathbb{R}^n$. I want to prove that: there is an entire analytic function $h$ (this means that $...

When is the Infinite product of continuous functions a continuous function? Assume that the product is convergent.

Is there any theorem about the continuity of an infinite product of continuous real valued functions on compact Housdorff spaces, if the product is convergent? I mean, for each natural number $n$, let ...

Why does this uniform continuity follow from continuity?

Let $K$ be a compact subset of $\mathbb{R}$. I'm reading a proof and it says the following: Let $\epsilon > 0$. Since the mapping $\xi \mapsto e^{\imath \, \xi}$ is continuous, we can pick $\...
