Theorem
Let $\struct {S, \tau_{_S} }$ be a topological space.
Let $\struct {R, +, *, \tau_{_R} }$ be a topological division ring.
Let $f, g: \struct {S, \tau_{_S} } \to \struct {R, \tau_{_R} }$ be continuous mappings.
Let $f + g : S \to R$ be the mapping defined by:
- $\forall x \in S: \map {\paren {f + g} } x = \map f x + \map g x$
Then
- $f + g: \struct {S, \tau_{_S} } \to \struct {R, \tau_{_R} }$ is continuous.
Proof
By definition of a topological division ring, $\struct {R, +, *, \tau_{_R} }$ is a topological ring.
From Sum Rule for Continuous Mappings into Topological Ring:
- $f + g: \struct {S, \tau_{_S} } \to \struct {R, \tau_{_R} }$ is a continuous mapping.
