nonempty perfect subset of that contains no rational number, a


We will construct a nonempty perfect setMathworldPlanetmath contained in thatcontains no rational number.

We will begin with a closed intervalMathworldPlanetmath, and then, imitating theconstruction of Cantor set, we will inductively delete eachrational number in it together with an open interval. We will doit in such a way that the end points of the open intervals willnever be deleted afterwards.

Let E0=[b0,a0] for some irrational numbers a0 and b0,with b0<a0. Let {q1,q2,q3,} be an enumeration of therational numbers in [b0,a0]. For each qi, we will define anopen interval (ai,bi) and delete it.

Let a1 and b1 be two irrational numbers such thatb0<a1<q1<b1<a0. Define E1=E0\\(a1,b1).

Having defined E1,E2,,En, a1,a2,,an and b1,b2,,bn, let’s define an+1 and bn+1:

If qn+1k=1n(ak,bk) then there existsan in such that qn+1(ai,bi). Let an+1=aiand bn+1=bi.

Otherwise let an+1 and bn+1 be two irrational numberssuch that b0<an+1<qn+1<bn+1<a0, and which satisfy:

qn+1-an+1<mini=0,1,2,,n{|qn+1-bi|}

and

bn+1-qn+1<mini=0,1,2,,n{|ai-qn+1|}.

Now define En+1=En\\(an+1,bn+1). Note thatby our choice of an+1 and bn+1 any of the previous endpoints are not removed from En.

Let E=n=1En. E is clearlynonempty, does not contain any rational number, and also it iscompactPlanetmathPlanetmath, being an intersectionMathworldPlanetmath of compact sets.

Now let us see that E does not have any isolated points. LetxE, and ϵ>0 be given. If xaj for any j{0,1,2,}, choose a rational numberqk such that x<qk<x+ϵ. Then qk(ak,bk) andsince xE we must have x<ak, which means ak(x,x+ϵ). Since we know that akE, this shows that x is a limit pointMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath. Otherwise, if x=aj for some j, then choose a qk such that x-ϵ<qk<x. Similarly, qk(ak,bk) and it follows that bk(x-ϵ,x). We have shown thatany point of E is a limit point, hence E is perfect.
