# Extending a function from a subset

The main definition of this file is extend_from A f where f : X → Y and A : set X. This defines a new function g : X → Y which maps any x₀ : X to the limit of f as x tends to x₀, if such a limit exists.

This is analoguous to the way dense_inducing.extend "extends" a function f : X → Z to a function g : Y → Z along a dense inducing i : X → Y.

The main theorem we prove about this definition is continuous_on_extend_from which states that, for extend_from A f to be continuous on a set B ⊆ closure A, it suffices that f converges within A at any point of B, provided that f is a function to a regular space.

def extend_from {X : Type u_1} {Y : Type u_2} (A : set X) (f : X → Y) :
X → Y

Extend a function from a set A. The resulting function g is such that at any x₀, if f converges to some y as x tends to x₀ within A, then g x₀ is defined to be one of these y. Else, g x₀ could be anything.

If f converges to some y as x tends to x₀ within A, then f tends to extend_from A f x as x tends to x₀.
