supremum of a function with integral












1












$begingroup$


Let $mathcal F$ be the set of continuous functions $f:[0,1]to mathbb R$ and $max_{0le xle1} |f(x)|=1$. Now let $mathcal I:mathcal Fto R,mathcal I(f)=int_0^1f(x)dx-f(0)+f(1)$. Firstly I had to show $mathcal I(f)<3,forall f in mathcal F$ and this is pretty easy. Now I have to determine $sup({mathcal I(f)}|fin mathcal F)$. Doesn't result that the supremum is $3$ from the statement before? I know that I am surely wrong. Can somebody give me some tips on how can I get the supremum, please?

          The fact that $mathcal I(f)<3$ implies that $sup{mathcal I(f)mid fin mathcal F}le3$. To show that the supremum is equal to $3$, you have to find for every $epsilon>0$ a function $finmathcal F$ such that $mathcal I(f)ge3-epsilon$. This can be done for instance with functions like
          $$
          f_delta(x)=begin{cases}
          dfrac{2}{delta},x-1 & 0le xledelta,\
          1 & delta<xle1.
          end{cases}
          $$

            obvious part is that $forall fin mathcal F $



            $$|mathcal I(f) | leq |int_0^1f(x)dx|+|f(0)|+|f(1)| leq 1+1+1leq 3$$
            inequality here is not strict ( $leq$ instead of $<$)



            Thus, we have shown that $sup({mathcal I(f)}|fin mathcal F) leq 3$
            To prove that it is equal to 3 we need to find a function $g$ or a sequence $g_n$ of functions in $mathcal F $, such that



            $$mathcal I(g) = 3; quad or quad lim_{n rightarrow infty} mathcal I(g_n) = 3$$



            (this would prove that $sup({mathcal I(f)}|fin mathcal F) geq 3$, which would solve the problem)



            First thing that comes to mind is the function $g$ defined as $g(t) = 1, ; forall t in (0, 1]$ and $g(0)=-1$. Then $mathcal I(g)$ would be equal to 3, but function $g$ is not contionious.
            Only one step is left to complete the solution: approximate $g$ with a sequence $g_n$ of functions from $mathcal F$ such that $lim_{n rightarrow infty} mathcal I(g_n) = 3$
