Uniformly continuous map

From Topospaces

Definition

Between uniform spaces

Suppose (X,U) and (Y,V) are uniform spaces (in other words, X and Y are sets and U and V are uniform structures on X and Y respectively). A function f:XY is termed a uniformly continuous map if the following holds: For any VV (i.e., for every entourage of Y) there exists a UU such that (a,b)U(f(a),f(b))V.

Between metric spaces

Suppose (X,dX) and (Y,dY) are metric spaces (in other words, X and Y are sets and dX and dY are metrics on X and Y respectively). A function f:XY is termed a uniformly continuous map if the following holds:

ε>0δ>0:|dX(a,b)|<δ|dY(f(a),f(b))|<ε.
