Is my intuition correct?












1












$begingroup$


Let $f : X rightarrow [0,infty)$ and $A$ , $B,$ two subsets of $X$ such that $A cap B neq emptyset$.



If I have that $ inf limits_{X setminus A} f ,>, inf limits_B f $, does it imply that $inf limits_B f = inf limits_{A cap B} f $ ??



Intuitevely it makes sense to me but I can't prove it. Any thoughts ? Or counterexapmple ?

          If $inf_B f neq inf_{Acap B} f$ then $inf_B f < inf_{Acap B} f$.



          On the other hand
          $$
          inf_B f = min { inf_{Acap B} f , , inf_{Bsetminus A} f}.
          $$

          Hence $inf_B f = inf_{Bsetminus A} f$.



          However $inf_{Bsetminus A} f>inf_{Xsetminus A} f >inf_B f$, contradiction.
