x F <br />

k1 F k A B U V<br />

which implies that x is an interior point of U V since U and V are open. So,<br />

Bx; U V for some 0, which contradicts to the choice of x k . Hence, we have<br />

proved that there exists F k such that F k U V. LetC U F k ,andD V F k , then<br />

we have<br />

1. C since A U and A F k ,andD since B V and B F k .<br />

2. C D U F k V F k U V .<br />

3. C D U F k V F k F k .<br />

4. C is open in F k and D is open in F k by C, D are open in R n .<br />

Hence, we have F k is disconnected which is absurb. So, we know that F <br />

connected.<br />

4.48 Let S be an open connected set in R n .LetT be a component of R n S. Prove<br />

that R n T is connected.<br />

Proof: If S is empty, there is nothing to proved. Hence, we assume that S is nonempty.<br />

Write R n S xR n S Ux, whereUx is a component of R n S. So, we have<br />

R n S xR n S Ux.<br />

Say T Up, forsomep. <strong>The</strong>n<br />

R n T S xR n ST Ux.<br />

Claim that clS Ux for all x R n S T. If we can show the claim, given<br />

a, b R n T, and a two valued function on R n T. Note that clS is also connected. We<br />

consider three cases. (1) a S, b Ux for some x. (2)a, b S. (3)a Ux,<br />

b Ux .<br />

For case (1), let c clS Ux, then there are s n S and u n Ux with<br />

s n c and u n c, then we have<br />

fa lim n<br />

fs n f lim n<br />

s n fc f lim n<br />

u n lim n<br />

fu n fb<br />

which implies that fa fb.<br />

For case (2), it is clear fa fb since S itself is connected.<br />

For case (3), we choose s S, and thus use case (1), we know that<br />

fa fs fb.<br />

By case (1)-(3), we have f is constant on R n T. Thatis,R n T is connected.<br />

It remains to show the claim. To show clS Ux for all x R n S T, i.e., to<br />

show that for all x R n S T,<br />

clS Ux S S Ux<br />

S Ux<br />

.<br />

Suppose NOT, i.e., for some x, S Ux which implies that Ux R n clS<br />

which is open. So, there is a component V of R n clS contains Ux, whereV is open by<br />

<strong>The</strong>orem 4.44. However, R n clS R n S, sowehaveV is contained in Ux.<br />

<strong>The</strong>refore, we have Ux V. Note that Ux R n S, andR n S is closed. So,<br />

clUx R n S. By definition of component, we have clUx Ux, whichis<br />

closed. So, we have proved that Ux V is open and closed. It implies that Ux R n or<br />

which is absurb. Hence, the claim has proved.<br />
