recall that a function $f: D -> V$ is lipschitz continuous iff
$
forall y_1, y_2 in D, quad underbracket(
abs(f(y_2) - f(y_1)) <= L abs(y_2 - y_1),
"lipschitz condition"
)
$
for some $L in RR$.
== a)
let $f: RR^2 -> RR,quad (t, y) |-> y/t^2$.
converting the function to it's polar coordinate form using
$
t = r cos(theta) quad "and" quad y = r sin(theta)
$
such that $f[r, theta] = sin(theta)/(r cos^2(theta)) = 1/r sec(theta) tan(theta)$
the magnitude of the gradient of the function tells us how much the function
changes in a point
$
grad f[r, theta] & = vecrow(pdv(f, r), pdv(f, theta))^TT \
& = vecrow(
-1/r^2 sec(theta) tan(theta),
1/r sec(θ) (sec^2(θ) + tan^2(θ))
)^TT \
==> abs(grad f[r, theta]) & = sqrt(
1/r^4 sec^2(theta) tan^2(theta) + 1/r^2
sec^2(theta) (sec^2(theta) + tan^2(theta))^2
) \
& = 1/r^2 sec(theta) sqrt(
tan^2(theta) + r^2
(sec^2(theta) + tan^2(theta))^2
)
$
if we look at $lim_(r -> oo) abs(grad f[r,theta])$ we observe that the function
is well-behaved -- i.e. lipschitz continuous -- for values of $theta$ that do
not yield $tan(theta) = plus.minus oo$, since it converges to $0$ due to
$1 slash r^2$.
we need to inspect the expression more closely for those other values of
$theta$. let $phi = pi slash 2 - theta$ so we can observe
$
sec(theta) & = sec(pi/2 - phi) = csc(phi) approx 1/phi \
tan(theta) & = tan(pi/2 - phi) = cot(phi) approx 1/phi
$
such that
$
#let L = $lim_(phi -> 0^+)$
#L abs(grad f[r, phi]) & = #L 1/(r^2 phi) sqrt(
1/phi^2 + r^2(1/phi^2
+ 1/phi^2)^2
) \
& = #L 1/(r^2 phi) sqrt(1/phi^2 + r^2 4/phi^4) \
& = #L 1/(r^2 phi) sqrt(
4r^2 / phi^4 (1 + phi^2 / (4
r^2))
) \
& = #L 2 / (r phi^3) sqrt(1 + phi^2 / (4 r^2)) \
& = underbracket(#L 2 / (r phi^3), oo) dot underbracket(
#L sqrt(
1 + phi^2 /
(4 r^2)
),
sqrt(1) = 1
) \
& -> oo
$
we can see that the derivative diverges for such problematic angles. this shows
that it is not lipschitz continuous for all its domain, since its rate of change
becomes unbounded for certain input values. #h(1fr) $qed$
it was not really worth it going via polar coordinates.
== b)
let $f(t, y) = sin(t) / t y$ on $RR$.
the only point that may be problematic here is $f(0, 0)$.
recall that $lim_(x -> 0) sin(x) / x = 1$, such that
$
#let L = $lim_((t, y) -> (0, 0))$
#L f(t, y) = #L sin(t) / t y = #L y = 0
$
we need to check the rate of change in this point, so let
$
f_t (0 + epsilon) = sin(t)/t epsilon
$
but
$
sin(t)/t epsilon <= L epsilon
$
so the rate of change is bounded in $y$-direction. similarly for $t$-direction,
we observe that the function is well-behaved. it is thus lipschitz continuous on
$RR$.
