The Translation Group of Lp Functions, and Moduli of Continuity Lp.
Let let a function of class and let The h-translation of, that is the function
belongs to the class; moreover, if, there holds
as
Therefore, since translations are in fact linear isometries, also
as
uniformly on .
In other words, the map defines a strongly continuous group of linear isometries of . In the case the above property does not hold in general: actually, it exactly reduces to the uniform continuity, and defines the uniform continuous functions. This leads to the following definition, that generalizes the notion of a modulus of continuity of the uniformly continuous functions: a modulus of continuity for a measurable function is a modulus of continuity such that
This way, moduli of continuity also give a quantitative account of the continuity property shared by all functions.

Famous quotes containing the words translation, group and/or continuity:
“Whilst Marx turned the Hegelian dialectic outwards, making it an instrument with which he could interpret the facts of history and so arrive at an objective science which insists on the translation of theory into action, Kierkegaard, on the other hand, turned the same instruments inwards, for the examination of his own soul or psychology, arriving at a subjective philosophy which involved him in the deepest pessimism and despair of action.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
“I can’t think of a single supposedly Black issue that hasn’t wasted the original Black target group and then spread like the measles to outlying white experience.”
—June Jordan (b. 1936)
“There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
