Talk:Bounded linear function

Query the point being made in the final para. Is it about Q-linear functions, eg take a Hamel basis for R over Q, define a function by Q-linearity on the b in it, such as b/|b|, tweak to make bounded?

- I don't know anything specifically about linear functions on R over Q, but I know there exist linear functions on R over R that are not f(x) = ax. My topology book mentions one discovered by F. B. Jones. Its graph is connected but not compact. CyborgTosser
I think you need to clarify that. All the conventional-sense linear functions of that kind are multiplication by constants. The ax+b functions are presumably not what you mean.

- My mistake. The function I mention only satisfies superposition, which would make it linear over Q, not R. CyborgTosser
