This defines a new function `g : X → Y` which maps any `x₀ : X` to the limit of `f` as `x` tends to `x₀`, if such a limit exists. This is analoguous to the way `dense_inducing.extend` "extends" a function `f : X → Z` to a function `g : Y → Z` along a dense inducing `i : X → Y`. The main theorem we prove about this definition is `continuous_on_extend_from` which states that, for `extend_from A f` to be continuous on a set `B ⊆ closure A`, it suffices that `f` converges within `A` at any point of `B`, provided that `f` is a function to a T₃ space. -/ noncomputable theory open_locale topological_space open filter set variables {X Y : Type*} [topological_space X] [topological_space Y] /-- Extend a function from a set `A`. The resulting function `g` is such that at any `x₀`, if `f` converges to some `y` as `x` tends to `x₀` within `A`, then `g x₀` is defined to be one of these `y`. Else, `g x₀` could be anything. -/ def extend_from (A : set X) (f : X → Y) : X → Y := λ x, @@lim _ ⟨f x⟩ (𝓝[A] x) f /-- If `f` converges to some `y` as `x` tends to `x₀` within `A`, then `f` tends to `extend_from A f x` as `x` tends to `x₀`. -/ lemma tendsto_extend_from {A : set X} {f : X → Y} {x : X} (h : ∃ y, tendsto f (𝓝[A] x) (𝓝 y)) : tendsto f (𝓝[A] x) (𝓝 $ extend_from A f x) := tendsto_nhds_lim h lemma extend_from_eq [t2_space Y] {A : set X} {f : X → Y} {x : X} {y : Y} (hx : x ∈ closure A) (hf : tendsto f (𝓝[A] x) (𝓝 y)) : extend_from A f x = y := begin haveI := mem_closure_iff_nhds_within_ne_bot.mp hx, exact tendsto_nhds_unique (tendsto_nhds_lim ⟨y, hf⟩) hf, end lemma extend_from_extends [t2_space Y] {f : X → Y} {A : set X} (hf : continuous_on f A) : ∀ x ∈ A, extend_from A f x = f x := λ x x_in, extend_from_eq (subset_closure x_in) (hf x x_in) /-- If `f` is a function to a T₃ space `Y` which has a limit within `A` at any point of a set `B ⊆ closure A`, then `extend_from A f` is continuous on `B`. -/ lemma continuous_on_extend_from [t3_space Y] {f : X → Y} {A B : set X} (hB : B ⊆ closure A) (hf : ∀ x ∈ B, ∃ y, tendsto f (𝓝[A] x) (𝓝 y)) : continuous_on (extend_from A f) B := begin set φ := extend_from A f, intros x x_in, suffices : ∀ V' ∈ 𝓝 (φ x), is_closed V' → φ ⁻¹' V' ∈ 𝓝[B] x, by simpa [continuous_within_at, (closed_nhds_basis _).tendsto_right_iff], intros V' V'_in V'_closed, obtain ⟨V, V_in, V_op, hV⟩ : ∃ V ∈ 𝓝 x, is_open V ∧ V ∩ A ⊆ f ⁻¹' V', { have := tendsto_extend_from (hf x x_in), rcases (nhds_within_basis_open x A).tendsto_left_iff.mp this V' V'_in with ⟨V, ⟨hxV, V_op⟩, hV⟩, use [V, is_open.mem_nhds V_op hxV, V_op, hV] }, suffices : ∀ y ∈ V ∩ B, φ y ∈ V', from mem_of_superset (inter_mem_inf V_in $ mem_principal_self B) this, rintros y ⟨hyV, hyB⟩, haveI := mem_closure_iff_nhds_within_ne_bot.mp (hB hyB), have limy : tendsto f (𝓝[A] y) (𝓝 $ φ y) := tendsto_extend_from (hf y hyB), have hVy : V ∈ 𝓝 y := is_open.mem_nhds V_op hyV, have : V ∩ A ∈ (𝓝[A] y), by simpa [inter_comm] using inter_mem_nhds_within _ hVy, exact V'_closed.mem_of_tendsto limy (mem_of_superset this hV) end /-- If a function `f` to a T₃ space `Y` has a limit within a dense set `A` for any `x`, then `extend_from A f` is continuous. -/ lemma continuous_extend_from [t3_space Y] {f : X → Y} {A : set X} (hA : dense A) (hf : ∀ x, ∃ y, tendsto f (𝓝[A] x) (𝓝 y)) : continuous (extend_from A f) := begin rw continuous_iff_continuous_on_univ, exact continuous_on_extend_from (λ x _, hA x) (by simpa using hf) end
