Finding Gordon Lipschitz

Frechet Differentiability of Lipschitz Functions and Porous Sets in Banach Spaces (AM-179)

As Carsten Schultz already pointed out, you can prove this via the mean value theorem. I would solve it like this: This is the graph of your function: The definition of Lipschitz continuous says: Bman72 1, 1 8 Hm, this assumes that one already knows that for differentiable functions, any bound on the derivative works as a lipschitz constant.

That's not immediately obvious, though - the derivate takes the limit of the differential quotient, yet for a lipschitz constant you need a bound on the differential quotient itself. Moreover the derivative of a functions is the slope of the functions i. Oh, and BTW, you mixed up the signs in the line "Now you notice that That was what I criticized - not that your answer was wrong it isn't , but that it was incomplete. BTW, I'm going to edit your answer and put the proof in there, instead of referencing it - it's only a few lines Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.

Shane Finkelstein is one talented writer! He is articulately down-to-earth in this jewel of a novel. Finding Gordon Lipschitz has all you need for a great read: Once you start the book and get involved in the life of Harris, you're in it for the long haul. You won't be able to put the book down, unless you're called away to the bathroom, ringing phone, or intrusive neighbor.

The action sequences made me ponder some of the stupid things I did when I was younger; not that long ago I might add, and how grateful I am to be alive in spite of them. There is something in this book for everyone. This is a great book and one you must have in your literary collection. My only suggestion would be for Shane to write a sequel; perhaps, entitled "The Adventures of Gordon Lipschitz" because I finished the book wanting nothing but more.

Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I fully appreciated how this book drops the reader into the story. No twenty chapters of set-up, back-story or stray, irrelevant thoughts from this author. From the first scene, the book engages and, for the most part, keeps its hooks in. It is the unlikely story of a group of Jewish yes, that is important to the story misfits who are flushing their own lives down the toilet and who latch onto the idea to find and save a high school classmate.

The story has elements of a classic road-trip story a la "The Hangover", but with older and they-should-be-wiser-but aren't characters - "Wild Hogs" comes to mind , has a bit of coming-of-age OK, again, coming-of-middle-age , and a bit of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Just to be clear - this entire Amazon rating system is subjective. My 4-star is a HIGH rating on my personal scale, where very well-written literary fiction and historical fiction earn the majority of my 5-stars. It ends on a hopeful note, but the author forces his characters to work for any future happiness they might aspire to, and I both applaud and appreciate that!

I literally laughed out loud, cried, and couldn't put this novel down. I am someone who cannot get enough of New Orleans, and found the scenes in the city real and poignant. I felt at home there within minutes of arriving for the first time and get back as often as I can. I am slightly older than the protagonist, Jewish, and nostalgic for many of my old high school friends for whom I wish I would have been a better person. I am in the midst of a painful and unfathomable separation from my wife of 23 years. I have an interesting relationship with a woman I'm still close to from high school.

I also lost my job last week, and am facing some hopefully short term money stress.

I someday hope to write and publish my own novel that includes characters and situations from my teen years, which I spent near the beaches of southern California. I was known to "party" in my day, and loved me some blow. This novel hit home on twelve cylinders for me. I look forward to the author's next work. Finkelstein has put much of himself into this book I think; therefore, it comes through as a well-written novel.

It's the story about one man along with others he brings on board finding life not quite going his way at the moment. He decides to go to his high school renuion, and becomes obsessed with finding the class valedictorian. And the adventure begins, with the main character and others finding a new way in their own life. In the end, how are they are affected by Gordon Lipshitz and the quest to find him? This is such a brilliant novel.

A must read that will keep you laughing, caring and obsessing along with the main character Harris Greenberg. Bravo to Shane Finkelstein for giving us this story. I highly recommend this book to anyone!
