I want to find a topological embedding $f : X rightarrow Y$ and $g: Y rightarrow X$, yet $X$ is not...

This is related to a problem of showing that none of the intervals $(0,1], (0,1), [0,1]$ are homeomorphic to another, since it's in the same problem block. I've tried using $f(x) = 1 - x , f(x) = 1/(x-1)$ between varying pairs of those intervals to no avail. Do I need a function as complicated as the topologist's sine to show this?

    You can embedd each interval in the other one by $f(x)=frac13+frac13 x$

    Ah, that makes sense now. I guess I kept looking for a surjection as well.

    With your additional condition (that it is also surjection), it seems to be identical to this question

Define $f : (0, 1) to [0, 1)$ to be the inclusion. This is an embedding.



Define $g : [0, 1) to (0, 1)$ by $displaystyle t mapsto frac12t + frac12$. This embeds into $[1/2, 1) subseteq (0, 1)$.



But $(0, 1)$ and $[0, 1)$ are not homeomorphic. If you remove any point from $(0, 1)$ you get two disconnected components. However, if you remove $0$ from $[0, 1)$ you still have only one component.

    Define $g : [0, 1) to (0, 1)$ by $displaystyle t mapsto frac12t + frac12$. This embeds into $[1/2, 1) subseteq (0, 1)$.



    But $(0, 1)$ and $[0, 1)$ are not homeomorphic. If you remove any point from $(0, 1)$ you get two disconnected components. However, if you remove $0$ from $[0, 1)$ you still have only one component.
