Proof verification: $d$ and $tilde{d}$ are topologically equivalent

$begingroup$


Given $X = (0,1]$ a metric space with $tilde{d}$ defined as $$tilde{d}(x,y) = bigl|frac{1}{x} - frac{1}{y}bigr| text{for} x,y in X$$



I'm trying to prove that $tilde{d}$ and $d$ the standard metric on $(0,1]$ are topologically equivalent, using the open sets criteria and would like to know if it's correct.



Proof:
$U$ is open in $(X,tilde{d}) implies U$ is open in $(X,d)$



Let $x in U$ and $epsilon > 0$ such that $B_{epsilon}(x,tilde{d}) subseteq U$



If $y in B_{epsilon}(x,tilde{d})$ which means $ tilde{d}(x,y) =bigl|frac{1}{x} - frac{1}{y}bigr| = bigl|frac{y-x}{xy}bigr| = frac{|x-y|}{|xy|} < epsilon$ and that's equivalent to $d(x,y) = |x-y| < |xy|epsilon$, then $y in U$



Therefore, for any $x in U$ we can find an epsilon $tilde{epsilon} = |xy|epsilon$ such that: $y in B_{|xy|epsilon}(x, d) implies y in U$



$Longleftarrow$



Similarly, If $y in B_{epsilon}(x,d)$, it follows that $d(x,y) = |x-y| < epsilon$ which is equivalent to $tilde{d}(x,y) =bigl|frac{1}{x} - frac{1}{y}bigr| < frac{epsilon}{|xy|}$



Therefore, for any $x in U$ we can find an epsilon $tilde{epsilon} = frac{epsilon}{|xy|}$ such that: $y in B_{frac{epsilon}{|xy|}}(x, tilde{d}) implies y in U$

    There is a mistake right here $d(x,y) = |x-y| < |xy|epsilon$, then $tilde{epsilon} = |xy|epsilon$. You have to gain an $tilde{epsilon}$ such that it does not depend on $y$.

Your argument is not valid. You cannot make $tilde {epsilon}$ depend on $y$. Suppose $B_{epsilon} (x,tilde {d}) subset U$ with $0<epsilon <1$. Choose $ tilde {epsilon} >0$ such that $tilde {epsilon} < min {frac x 2,frac {epsilon x^{2}}2}$. (Note that $x >0$. This is crucial here). Then $|y-x| < tilde {epsilon}$ implies $|frac 1 y -frac 1 x|=frac {|y-x|} {xy} <epsilon$ because $epsilon xy >epsilon x(x-tilde {epsilon})=epsilon x^{2}-epsilon x{tilde {epsilon}} >2tilde {epsilon}-epsilon x{tilde {epsilon}} >{tilde {epsilon}}$ (since $epsilon x <1$). Hence $B_{tilde {epsilon}} (x,d) subset B_{epsilon} (x,tilde {d}) subset U$. I leave the other part to you.

There is a fault in your proof. Kindly see the proof below for the other side



begin{align}bar{d}(x,y)<r_2 &iff left| dfrac{1}{x}-dfrac{1}{y} right| <r_2 iff dfrac{1}{x}-r_2<dfrac{1}{y}<dfrac{1}{x}+r_2\&
iff dfrac{1-x r_2 }{x}<dfrac{1}{y}<dfrac{1+xr_2 }{x}
end{align}

Choose $r_2<dfrac{1}{x},$ then
begin{align}
dfrac{1-x r_2 }{x}<dfrac{1}{y}<dfrac{1+xr_2 }{x}&iff dfrac{x }{1+x r_2}<y<dfrac{x }{1-xr_2}\& iff - dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}<y-x<dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}.
end{align}

As $r_2to 0,$ then $dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}to 0$ and $dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}to 0.$ Hence, $forall , r>0,$ and $forall ,xin (0,1],$ there exists $r_2in (0,1]$ such that $r_2<(r/2x^2).$ So,
begin{align}
y-x<dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}<x^2 r_2 <dfrac{r }{2}<r.
end{align}

Also, begin{align}
r_2<dfrac{r}{2x^2}iff -r_2>-dfrac{r}{2x^2}iff -x^2 r_2>-dfrac{r}{2}.
end{align}

But, $r_2in (0,1]implies r_2>-dfrac{1}{2x},$ implies $x r_2>-dfrac{1}{2} iff 1+x r_2>dfrac{1}{2}iff dfrac{1}{1+x r_2}<2.$ Hence,
begin{align}
y-x> - dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}>-dfrac{r}{2(1+x r_2)} > -dfrac{2r}{2}=-r
end{align}

Hence, we have that
begin{align}
-r=-dfrac{2r}{2}<-dfrac{r}{2(1+x r_2)}< - dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}<y-x<dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}<x^2 r_2 <dfrac{r }{2}<r.
end{align}

Therefore, begin{align}
|x-y|<r iff d(x,y)<r
end{align}

And you are done. Kindly get back if you have some questions. Remember that they don't necessarily need to have the same radius.

begin{align}bar{d}(x,y)<r_2 &iff left| dfrac{1}{x}-dfrac{1}{y} right| <r_2 iff dfrac{1}{x}-r_2<dfrac{1}{y}<dfrac{1}{x}+r_2\&
iff dfrac{1-x r_2 }{x}<dfrac{1}{y}<dfrac{1+xr_2 }{x}
end{align}

Choose $r_2<dfrac{1}{x},$ then
begin{align}
dfrac{1-x r_2 }{x}<dfrac{1}{y}<dfrac{1+xr_2 }{x}&iff dfrac{x }{1+x r_2}<y<dfrac{x }{1-xr_2}\& iff - dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}<y-x<dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}.
end{align}

As $r_2to 0,$ then $dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}to 0$ and $dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}to 0.$ Hence, $forall , r>0,$ and $forall ,xin (0,1],$ there exists $r_2in (0,1]$ such that $r_2<(r/2x^2).$ So,
begin{align}

end{align}

Also, begin{align}
r_2<dfrac{r}{2x^2}iff -r_2>-dfrac{r}{2x^2}iff -x^2 r_2>-dfrac{r}{2}.

But, $r_2in (0,1]implies r_2>-dfrac{1}{2x},$ implies $x r_2>-dfrac{1}{2} iff 1+x r_2>dfrac{1}{2}iff dfrac{1}{1+x r_2}<2.$ Hence,
begin{align}
y-x> - dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}>-dfrac{r}{2(1+x r_2)} > -dfrac{2r}{2}=-r
end{align}

Hence, we have that
begin{align}
-r=-dfrac{2r}{2}<-dfrac{r}{2(1+x r_2)}< - dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}<y-x<dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}<x^2 r_2 <dfrac{r }{2}<r.

Therefore, begin{align}
|x-y|<r iff d(x,y)<r

But, $r_2in (0,1]implies r_2>-dfrac{1}{2x},$ implies $x r_2>-dfrac{1}{2} iff 1+x r_2>dfrac{1}{2}iff dfrac{1}{1+x r_2}<2.$ Hence,
begin{align}
y-x> - dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}>-dfrac{r}{2(1+x r_2)} > -dfrac{2r}{2}=-r
end{align}

Hence, we have that
begin{align}
-r=-dfrac{2r}{2}<-dfrac{r}{2(1+x r_2)}< - dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}<y-x<dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}<x^2 r_2 <dfrac{r }{2}<r.
end{align}

Therefore, begin{align}
|x-y|<r iff d(x,y)<r
end{align}

And you are done. Kindly get back if you have some questions. Remember that they don't necessarily need to have the same radius.

    Thank you so much for your detailed answer! :) It's super helpful. I just got abit stuck in the part you applied the Archimedean principle. How does it relate to $dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}$ and $dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}$ tending to zero, as $r_2to 0$?

There is a fault in your proof. Kindly see the proof below for the other side



begin{align}bar{d}(x,y)<r_2 &iff left| dfrac{1}{x}-dfrac{1}{y} right| <r_2 iff dfrac{1}{x}-r_2<dfrac{1}{y}<dfrac{1}{x}+r_2\&
iff dfrac{1-x r_2 }{x}<dfrac{1}{y}<dfrac{1+xr_2 }{x}
end{align}

Choose $r_2<dfrac{1}{x},$ then
begin{align}
dfrac{1-x r_2 }{x}<dfrac{1}{y}<dfrac{1+xr_2 }{x}&iff dfrac{x }{1+x r_2}<y<dfrac{x }{1-xr_2}\& iff - dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}<y-x<dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}.
end{align}

As $r_2to 0,$ then $dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}to 0$ and $dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}to 0.$ Hence, $forall , r>0,$ and $forall ,xin (0,1],$ there exists $r_2in (0,1]$ such that $r_2<(r/2x^2).$ So,
begin{align}
y-x<dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}<x^2 r_2 <dfrac{r }{2}<r.
end{align}

Also, begin{align}
r_2<dfrac{r}{2x^2}iff -r_2>-dfrac{r}{2x^2}iff -x^2 r_2>-dfrac{r}{2}.
end{align}

But, $r_2in (0,1]implies r_2>-dfrac{1}{2x},$ implies $x r_2>-dfrac{1}{2} iff 1+x r_2>dfrac{1}{2}iff dfrac{1}{1+x r_2}<2.$ Hence,
begin{align}
y-x> - dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}>-dfrac{r}{2(1+x r_2)} > -dfrac{2r}{2}=-r
end{align}

Hence, we have that
begin{align}
-r=-dfrac{2r}{2}<-dfrac{r}{2(1+x r_2)}< - dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1+x r_2}<y-x<dfrac{x^2 r_2 }{1-xr_2}<x^2 r_2 <dfrac{r }{2}<r.
end{align}

Therefore, begin{align}
|x-y|<r iff d(x,y)<r
end{align}
