Talk:Topologist's sine curve

Therefore, the topologist's sine curve is always compact, hence locally compact. But in the article, it says: "T is the continuous image of a locally compact space (namely, let V be the space {−1} ∪ (0, 1], and use the map f from V to T defined by f(−1) = (0,0) and f(x) = (x, sin(1/x)) for x :

I guess that some of the statements in this article refer to another sort of sine curve, where you just add (0,0) to the graph of sin(1/x). Then it would make sense to take the closure of it and then it would not be locally compact, but the image of a locally compact set (even a compact set)
208:
Later, it says in the article, that you may a variation, named "closed topologist's sine curve", which is now exactly the closure of the graph and therefore - by defintion - equal to the topologist's sine curve. So, the original topologist's sine curve is already the closed one...
201:
In the article, it says: You take the closure of the graph of sin(1/x) with x\in ]0,1]. The function is bounded, the domain is bounded, hence the graph is bounded. The closure of a bounded set w.r.t. the topology of a finite dimensional euclidean space is always compact. =:

I'm not sure how to do this, but it would be neat to come up with a graph whose color becomes darker and/or more saturated to suggest increasing density approaching 0. As it is, at a certain point it just turns into a solid block.

I have thus reverted the change: I think both definitions are used in the literature, so it does not really matter which one we give first, but we should be consistent in the article.

An anonymous contributor in the last month changed the formula of the definition of the set T to include not just the origin but the whole interval
216:
The question is now: When topologists talk about "topologist's sine curve" do they mean the one with the interval or the one with just a point? --
106: 245: 217: 182:
Image looks inconsistant with definition as the plot goes to negative x and in definition we take x from (0;1]. I may be just wrong though.
396: 287: 372:. This contradicts with the text, and it is a bit confusing, since later in the article the closed version of this set is referenced. 183: 97: 58: 157:
This page is useless without the figure. Could I scan it from a book? I guess a mathematical figure cannot be copyrighted.

My title is very generic. If we make the page we then have to update the title. But the page should be created!

Seems like this space is too weird for Iceweasel 2.0.0.3 (Debian version of Firefox) ;) Works fine in Konqueror.

The current terminology of the article (with 'topologist's sine curve' denoting a non-closed set) is that of

Fixed. I don't know the answer to your last question. In Munkres, the closure is used. –
