How can we show that $C_c^infty(mathbb R)$ strongly separates points?












1














Let $C_b(mathbb R)$ denote the set of bounded continuous function from $mathbb R$ to $mathbb R$. We say that $Msubseteq C_b(mathbb R)$





  1. separates points $:Leftrightarrow$ $$forall x,yinmathbb R:xne yRightarrowexists fin M:f(x)ne f(y)tag1$$


  2. strongly separates points $:Leftrightarrow$ $$forall xinmathbb R,delta>0:exists kinmathbb N,left{f_1,ldots,f_kright}subseteq M:inf_{y:::d(x,y):ge:delta}max_{1le ile k}|f_i(x)-f_i(y)|>0tag2$$



How can we show that $C_c^infty(mathbb R)$ strongly separates points?




It's clear that $C_c^infty(mathbb R)$ separates points.

    Cant you just take a single $fin C^infty_c(mathbb R)$ with $f(x)=1$, $mathrm{supp}(f)subset B(x,delta)$? Then you would have $f(x)-f(y)=1$ for $d(x,y)geqdelta$.

Given $xinmathbb R$ and $delta>0$, take a single function $fin C^infty_c(mathbb R)$ with $f(x)=1$ and $mathrm{supp}(f)subset B(x,delta)$.



Then $f(x)-f(y)=1$ for $d(x,y)geqdelta$.
