Locally constant function
In mathematics, a function from a topological space into a set is called locally constant if for every one around there, on the constant.
Properties
- Every constant function is locally constant.
- Every locally constant function of any in a set is constant, as coherently and is not to cover by at least two disjoint open sets.
- Every locally constant holomorphic function of an open set in the complex numbers is constant, if an area is, so is connected.
- In general, any locally constant function is constant on each connected component, for locally connected spaces converse is also true.
- An illustration of a topological space to a discrete space is continuous if it is locally constant.
- Each illustration of a discrete space in any topological space is locally constant.
- The amount of locally constant functions on a space naturally form a sheaf of commutative rings.
Examples
- The function defined by for and is locally constant. (This one goes that is irrational, because so and are open sets that cover. )
- The function defined by for and is as locally constant.
- The sign function is not locally constant.
- Step functions are not local, but piecewise constant
- Set topology
