Modulus of Continuity - The Translation Group of Lp Functions, and Moduli of Continuity Lp.

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:

    ...it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.
    Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 7:9.

    King James translation reads, “It is better to marry than to burn.”

    [The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.
    Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)

    Every society consists of men in the process of developing from children into parents. To assure continuity of tradition, society must early prepare for parenthood in its children; and it must take care of the unavoidable remnants of infantility in its adults. This is a large order, especially since a society needs many beings who can follow, a few who can lead, and some who can do both, alternately or in different areas of life.
    Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
