Show that the following function is continuous on $[0,1].$

$begingroup$


Define
$$omega_f(delta) =sup {|f(x)-f(y)|: (x,y)in [0,1]^{2}text{ and } |x-y|leq delta}$$
where $fin mathcal{C}([0,1])$ and $deltageq 0.$ I have proven that for all $delta_1,delta_2geq 0$ we have that:
$$omega_f(delta_1)leq omega_{f}(delta_1+delta_2)leq omega_f(delta_1)+omega_f(delta_2).$$
I now want to show that $omega_f(delta)$ is continuous for all $deltain [0,1].$ I have argued for continuity at $0$ using contradiction and the fact that $omega_f$ is monotonic. Furthermore, for $rin (0,1]$ and $hgeq 0$ we have that
$$omega_f(r) leq omega_f(r+h)leq omega_f(r)+omega_f (h).$$
If we send $hto 0$ we get that $omega_f(r+h)to omega_f(r)$ and so $omega_f$ is right continuous. However, I am not sure how to show $omega_f$ is left-continuous. I tried the following:
$$omega_f(h)leq omega_{f}(h+(r-h))leq omega_f(h)+omega_f(r-h)$$
$$implies omega_{f}(r)-omega_f(h)leq omega_f(r-h)$$
and similarily since,
$$omega_f(r-h)leq omega_{f}((r-h)+h)leq omega_f(r-h)+omega_f(h)$$
$$implies omega_{f}(r-h)leq omega_f(r).$$
Thus we have that
$$omega_f(r)-omega_f(h)leq omega_f(r-h)leq omega_f(r).$$
Sending $hto 0$ should give left continuity by squeeze theorem.



Is this reasoning correct?

          $begingroup$

          Monotonicity alone of $omega_f$ is not enough to yield continuity. You have to use that $f$ is (uniformly) continuous.



          A small (maybe pedantic) point of notation: $omega_f(delta)$ is a real number, so it cannot be continuous. What you meant was that you wanted to prove that $omega_f$ was continuous on $[0,1]$, or, if you really want to write $omega_f(delta)$, write that $omega_f(delta)$ is continuous at every $delta in [0,1]$.



          Otherwise, it seems correct to me (however, you that $omega_f(r-h) leq omega_f(r)$ is a straight consequence of its monotonicity).
