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 information—hence, something inessential. This is the hallmark of bad translations.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“Caprice, independence and rebellion, which are opposed to the social order, are essential to the good health of an ethnic group. We shall measure the good health of this group by the number of its delinquents. Nothing is more immobilizing than the spirit of deference.”
—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
“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)
