Suppose $\ X\subset \mathbb{R}\ $ and $\ Y\subset \mathbb{R}.$
Definition: A function $\ f: X \to Y\ $ is hyper-discontinuous if for every $\ x\in X,\ \ \exists\ \delta>0,\ \varepsilon>0\ $ such that $\ y\in X \setminus \{x\},\ \vert y-x \vert < \delta,\ \implies \vert f(x) - f(y) \vert \geq \varepsilon.$
Hyper-discontinuous is a term I just made up, but it seems appropriate, because $\ f\ $ is hyper-discontinuous implies $\ f\ $ is nowhere continuous, whereas the converse must be false, and nowhere continuous is the concept most closely relating to "most discontinuous function" that I am aware of.
My questions are the following:
- Is there a hyper-discontinuous function $\ f:[0,1] \to [0,1]\ ?$
- Is there a hyper-discontinuous function $\ f:[0,1]\cap\mathbb{Q} \to [0,1]\cap\mathbb{Q}\ ?$
I've spent a while on these questions, but keep getting confused.
I think Blumberg's theorem might be related to this, but I'm not sure.
