Taking delta to be epsilon divided by L+1 gives uniform continuity, and continuity follows from the lemma that uniformly continuous maps are continuous.

Proof

By Lipschitz Map Between Metric Spaces §lipschitz, fix a real L≥0L\ge0 with dY(f(x),f(x′))≤L dX(x,x′)d_{Y}(f(x),f(x'))\le L\,d_{X}(x,x') for all x,x′∈Xx,x'\in X.

Clause uniformly-continuous. Let ε>0\varepsilon>0 be real. By Rules of Arithmetic and Order in an Ordered Field §squares, 0<10<1, so 0<L+10<L+1 by Inequalities in an Ordered Field: Mixed Transitivity, Strict Sums, Signs, Products, Natural Numbers, Halving, Reciprocals, Absolute Values and Squares §strict-sum applied to 0<10<1 and 0≤L0\le L; hence L+1≠0L+1\neq0 by Uniqueness of Least and Greatest Elements, Properties of the Strict Order, and Trichotomy for Total Orders §strict-characterization, 0<(L+1)−10<(L+1)^{-1} by Rules of Arithmetic and Order in an Ordered Field §positive-reciprocal, and

δ=ε (L+1)−1\delta=\varepsilon\,(L+1)^{-1}

satisfies 0<δ0<\delta by Inequalities in an Ordered Field: Mixed Transitivity, Strict Sums, Signs, Products, Natural Numbers, Halving, Reciprocals, Absolute Values and Squares §positive-product; it depends on ε\varepsilon and LL only. Let x,x′∈Xx,x'\in X with dX(x,x′)<δd_{X}(x,x')<\delta. From 0<10<1, Uniqueness of Least and Greatest Elements, Properties of the Strict Order, and Trichotomy for Total Orders §weak-strict gives 0≤10\le1; from L≤LL\le L and 0≤10\le1, Rules of Arithmetic and Order in an Ordered Field §order-sum gives L≤L+1L\le L+1; as 0≤dX(x,x′)0\le d_{X}(x,x') by Metric Space §nonnegative, Inequalities in an Ordered Field: Mixed Transitivity, Strict Sums, Signs, Products, Natural Numbers, Halving, Reciprocals, Absolute Values and Squares §nonnegative-scaling gives L dX(x,x′)≤(L+1) dX(x,x′)L\,d_{X}(x,x')\le(L+1)\,d_{X}(x,x'). As 0<L+10<L+1, Rules of Arithmetic and Order in an Ordered Field §order-product gives (L+1) dX(x,x′)<(L+1) δ=ε(L+1)\,d_{X}(x,x')<(L+1)\,\delta=\varepsilon. Hence

dY(f(x),f(x′))≤L dX(x,x′)≤(L+1) dX(x,x′)<ε,d_{Y}(f(x),f(x'))\le L\,d_{X}(x,x')\le(L+1)\,d_{X}(x,x')<\varepsilon,

so dY(f(x),f(x′))<εd_{Y}(f(x),f(x'))<\varepsilon by transitivity of ≤\le and Inequalities in an Ordered Field: Mixed Transitivity, Strict Sums, Signs, Products, Natural Numbers, Halving, Reciprocals, Absolute Values and Squares §mixed. As ε\varepsilon was arbitrary, ff is uniformly continuous by Uniformly Continuous Map Between Metric Spaces §uniformly-continuous, with A=XA=X.

Clause continuous. By the clause uniformly-continuous, ff is uniformly continuous on XX, so it is continuous on XX, that is, continuous, by A Uniformly Continuous Map Between Metric Spaces Is Continuous §continuous with A=XA=X.
