I want to determine $f(x) = x+sin x$ is homeomorphic or not on $mathbb{R}$?



A bijective continuous function is homeomorphic if its inverse is also continuous.
I know that $f$ is bijective. Also $f$ is continuous being the sum of two continuous functions.



How to look for the continuity of $f^{-1}$.

    @freakish Not quite: the derivative vanishes at $x=(2k+1)pi$, $kinmathbb Z$.

The function $f$ is continuous and strictly increasing, because its derivative is $ge0$ and is positive on the intervals $(pi+2kpi,pi+2(k+1)pi)$.



This its inverse function exists and is strictly increasing as well and defined over $mathbb{R}$ because $f$ is neither upper nor lower bounded. In particular $f^{-1}$ has left and right limit at every point, because
$$
lim_{xto c^-}f^{-1}(x)=sup{f(x):x<c}
qquad
lim_{xto c^+}f^{-1}(x)=inf{f(x):x>c}
$$
Suppose that at some point $c$ the two limits are different, say
$$
lim_{xto c^-}f^{-1}(x)=sup{f(x):x<c}=a
qquad
lim_{xto c^+}f^{-1}(x)=inf{f(x):x>c}=b
$$
with $a<b$. Then $(a+b)/2$ doesn't belong to the codomain of $f^{-1}$, which is the domain of $f$. Contradiction.

    Once you know that $f$ is strictly increasing, just use this.



    If you want to know some regularity of $f^{-1}$, continue reading.



    Let $N={(2k+1)pi:kinmathbb Z}$.



    In $mathbb Rsetminus N$ you have $f'neq 0$, so $f$ is actually a diffeomorphism.
    Now we have to investigate what happens near $N$. By translation, it is sufficient to examine what happens around $pi$. By Taylor expansion, we have that for $epsilon>0$ small enough
    $$
    |f(x)-f(pi)| = |x+sin(x)-pi| geq left|frac{(x-pi)^3}{12}right|
    qquad forall xin(pi-epsilon,pi+epsilon)
    $$
    so the inverse $f^{-1}$ is $tfrac13$-Holder near $pi$.

                      Quarter-circle Tiles

                      Image
                      up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

                      build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

                      0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
