Define a function f, mapping the reals to the reals, by the rule
f(x) = 3x for x less than 1/2, f(x) = 3(1-x) for x greater than or equal to 1/2.
Find the (filled-in) Julia set of f (that is, the set of real numbers whose

The third set of supplementary notes (on Lebesgue-Stieltjes integrals)
is here.
Intersession homework: read chapters 7 and 8. These chapters
will be covered rapidly at the beginning of MAT 550.
Section 6.3, the "Suggested
Intersession Reading" in chapter 6 and the "Postponed Proofs" sections
in Chapters 7 and 8 are optional reading (you are not going to be tested
on them, but they are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED).
Before leaving for intersession, please
go to the math library, and make a copy of Doss's one-page
proof of the Hahn Decomposition Theorem, in the
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, of October
1980; you will want to have this when reading chapter 8.
FINAL EXAM -- Tuesday, December 19: 11:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m., in our
regular classroom (Harriman 115). It will cover chapters 4, 5 and 6,
section 2.3, sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, and the
second set of supplementary notes. Of course
Chapter 1 is fundamental.
Errata in the book:

Select K, epsilon > 0 as in (2.12).
by
Select K, epsilon > 0 as in the analogue of equation (2.12)
where one uses Y0' in place of Y0.
