As I said in my earlier response, you can always use a CONSTANT function from a nonempty set A to a nonempty set B. And a constant function will be continuous no matter what the topologies on A and B. Moreover, if your problem is "constructing" such a function, then at least when B is defined by means of equalities and inequalities, you could use FindInstance to pick some element of B to use as the constant value. Perhaps you've still not asked the question you really are trying to ask. Bonny Banerjee wrote: > I am looking for continuous functions only from set A to set B.
