Problem:
We are given a family of functions from the set to itself. A sequence of functions in is said to be if is a constant function. Prove that if there exists a good sequence, there exists one with .
Problem:
We are given a family of functions from the set to itself. A sequence of functions in is said to be if is a constant function. Prove that if there exists a good sequence, there exists one with .
Solution:
Suppose there exists a good sequence.
Then for any two there is some sequence of functions such that maps and to the same point. Looking at the images and so on, by the pigeonhole principle we can find a subsequence with .
By appending such sequences together, we can collapse all inputs to the same output.
