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:
“Any translation which intends to perform a transmitting function cannot transmit anything but informationhence, something inessential. This is the hallmark of bad translations.”
—Walter Benjamin (18921940)
“Instead of seeing society as a collection of clearly defined interest groups, society must be reconceptualized as a complex network of groups of interacting individuals whose membership and communication patterns are seldom confined to one such group alone.”
—Diana Crane (b. 1933)
“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 (19041994)
