i have this theorem with it's proof but i don't understand the last part enter image description here

They use this proposition:

enter image description here

My question is Why $\varphi^c\cap U_i$ is closed and pairwise disjoint ? where $\varphi^c=\lbrace x, \varphi(x)\leq c\rbrace$

Please thank you.

  • $\begingroup$ There's a lot of notation in there. What are the $(C)_{c'}$ condition, $K^c_\phi,H_k, M_k,\beta_k$? $\endgroup$ Aug 17, 2014 at 19:33
  • $\begingroup$ All this have no relation, i juste want to know why $U_i$ is open and $\varphi^c$ is closed implies that $\varphi^c\cap U_i$ is closed ? $\endgroup$

The theorem is applied (see the middle in $6.6$ ) to $X=\varphi^c\cap C$ and $X_i=\varphi^c\cap U_i$ which is a closed subset in $X$.($X_i=X\cap(\cup_{j\neq i}U_j)^c$ where the c's power is the complementary ).

  • $\begingroup$ If $x\in \varphi^c\cap U_i$, then $x\in X$ and $x\notin U_j$ for $j\neq i$ (because $(U_i)_i$ are pairwise disjoit ).If $x\in X\cap(\cup_{i\neq j}U_j)$ then $x\in X$ and not in any $U_j$ for $j\neq i$, so $x\in U_i$ and that $x\in \varphi^c\cap U_i$. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I don't understand if $x\in X\cap(\cap_{i\neq j} U_j)^c$ then $x\in X$ but why $x\in \varphi^c$ ? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ $X=\varphi^c\cap C\subset \varphi^c$. and $x\in X\cap(\cup_{j\neq i}U_j)$ there is union not the intersection. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ $\cup_{i\neq j} U_j)^c $ is closed ok, but $\varphi^c$ why is closed ? $\endgroup$
