Continuity of monotone functions #
In this file we prove the following fact: if f is a monotone function on a neighborhood of a
and the image of this neighborhood is a neighborhood of f a, then f is continuous at a, see
continuousWithinAt_of_monotoneOn_of_image_mem_nhds, as well as several similar facts.
We also prove that an OrderIso is continuous.

If f is a function strictly monotone on a right neighborhood of a and the
image of this neighborhood under f meets every interval (f a, b], b > f a, then f is
continuous at a from the right.
The assumption hfs : ∀ b > f a, ∃ c ∈ s, f c ∈ Ioc (f a) b is required because otherwise the
function f : ℝ → ℝ given by f x = if x ≤ 0 then x else x + 1 would be a counter-example at
a = 0.
If f is a monotone function on a right neighborhood of a and the image of this neighborhood
under f meets every interval (f a, b), b > f a, then f is continuous at a from the right.
The assumption hfs : ∀ b > f a, ∃ c ∈ s, f c ∈ Ioo (f a) b cannot be replaced by the weaker
assumption hfs : ∀ b > f a, ∃ c ∈ s, f c ∈ Ioc (f a) b we use for strictly monotone functions
because otherwise the function ceil : ℝ → ℤ would be a counter-example at a = 0.

Continuity of order isomorphisms #
In this section we prove that an OrderIso is continuous, hence it is a Homeomorph. We prove
this for an OrderIso between to partial orders with order topology.
An order isomorphism between two linear order OrderTopology spaces is a homeomorphism.
