Title
Resolution of the uniform lower bound problem in constructive analysis
Abstract
In a previous paper we constructed a full and faithful functor M from the category of locally compact metric spaces to the category of formal topologies (representations of locales). Here we show that for a real-valued continuous function f,M (f) factors through the localic positive reals if, and only if, f has a uniform positive lower bound on each ball in the locally compact space. We work within the framework of Bishop constructive mathematics, where the latter notion is strictly stronger than point-wise positivity. (C) 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
