continuous-sup property and equicontinuous set.

$begingroup$



Suppose that $Lambda subset C^{0}$ is equicontinuous and bounded.



(a) Prove that $sup{f(x)mid f in Lambda}$ is a continuous function.



(b) Show that (a) fails without equicontinuity.



(c) Show that this continuous-sup property does not imply equicontinuity.



(d) Assume that the continuous-sup property is true for each subset $mathcal{F} subset Lambda$. Is $Lambda$ equicontinuous? Give a proof or counterexample.




My attempt.



(a) We have that
$$sup f(x) = sup (f(x)-f(y) + f(y)) leq sup f(y) + sup(f(x)-f(y)),$$
then
$$sup f(x) - sup f(y) leq sup (f(x)-f(y)) leq Vert f(x) - f(y) Vert$$
and
$$sup f(y) - sup f(x) leq sup (f(y)-f(x)) leq Vert f(x) - f(y) Vert,$$
that is,
$$|sup f(x) - sup f(y)| leq Vert f(x) - f(y) Vert.$$
Since $Lambda$ is equicontinuous, given $epsilon > 0$ there is $delta > 0$ such that $|x - y| < delta$ implies $|f(x) - f(y)| < epsilon$ for each $f in Lambda$. Therefore,
$$|x - y| < delta Longrightarrow |sup f(x) - sup f(y)| < epsilon$$





(b) I can see why without equicontinuity, (a) fails: can be exist a function $f$ that not satisfies $|f(x) - f(y)| < epsilon$. But I cannot find a counterexample.





(c) Consider $C^{0}([0,1],mathbb{R})$ and $Lambda = {f_{n}(x) = x^{n}}_{n}$. Note that
$$sup_{x in [0,1]} f(x) = 1quad forall f in Lambda.$$
Thus, $g = sup f$ is continuous, but $Lambda$ is not equicontinuous.





(d) By Mindlack's observation, the same example of (c) works in (d).





Can someone help me?
