Does the sum of two functions satisfying the intermediate value property also have this property?

If functions $f$ and $g$ both satisfy the intermediate value property, does their sum also satisfy this property? If not, what if I suppose in addition that $f$ is continuous?



Thanks in advance!



Edit: I found the second part of my question here:
Is the sum of a Darboux function and a continuous function Darboux?






calculus analysis continuity

  • The best thing you can aim for is to show that the image of $f+g$ is an interval. (In particular it takes all the values in-between but not necessarily in the right order)

Consider the functions, $f:[0,1]rightarrow [0,1]$ and $g:[0,1]rightarrow[0,1]$ where



$$f = begin{cases}sinfrac{1}{x},& x>0 \ 0, & x = 0end{cases}$$
and
$$g = begin{cases}-sinfrac{1}{x},& x>0 \ 1, & x = 0end{cases}$$

flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror

Image
0 I recently upgraded an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine to 18.04. I regularly use this VM to run apt-mirror at school on their high-speed internet, then rsync these files to my rack-mount server at home for updating multiple computers at home without wasting the tiny amount of bandwidth I have there. Since updating I can't get apt-mirror to run on my VM. It keeps giving the error: flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 214 immediately followed by: apt-mirror is already running, exiting at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 217 apt-mirror is NOT running, and does not have a cron job. I've tried rebooting, and even looked for the old-style lockfile to delete, but I guess that method is no longer used. Is there some way to force unlock this so I can run apt-mirror? UPDATE: So...
