In mathematics, a nowhere continuous function, also called an everywhere discontinuous function, is a function that is not continuous at any point of its domain. If x there is some 0"}}'>ε>0 such that for every 0,"}}'>δ>0, we can find a point |f(x)−f(y)|≥ε. Therefore, no matter how close it gets to any fixed point, there are even closer points at which the function takes not-nearby values.
More general definitions of this kind of function can be obtained, by replacing the absolute value by the distance function in a metric space, or by using the definition of continuity in a topological space.
𝟏ℚ(x) is equal to 0 otherwise.More generally, if E and the complement of 1 on E will be nowhere continuous. Functions of this type were originally investigated by Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet.
Although every linear map is additive, not all additive maps are linear. An additive map f:ℝ→ℝ to any real scalar multiple of the rational numbers f|rℚ:rℚ→ℝ to the set x∈ℝ, x is also contained in some dense subset x≠0, and take x is infinitely close to a
