Given f:X→Y between two metric spaces (X,dX) and (Y,dY), we say that f is uniformly continuous if the following condition holds.
For each
ε>0 exists
δ>0 such that for all
x0,x1∈X we have that
dX(x0,x1)<δ⟹dY(f(x0),f(x1))<ε
This differs from the typical definition of continuity in that the quantification over x0,x1 is innermost; a function cannot be “uniformly continuous” at a single point!
