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:
“Well meant are the wounds a friend inflicts, but profuse are the kisses of an enemy.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 27:6.
KJ translation reads: Faithful are the wounds of a friend.
“For me, as a beginning novelist, all other living writers form a control group for whom the world is a placebo.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
