Reason: First published version. Epsilon-delta definition of continuity for a map defined on a subset of a metric space, at a point relative to that subset and on the subset. Fills a gap: earlier items had to spell this condition out inline.

Statement

Let (X,dX)(X,d_X) and (Y,dY)(Y,d_Y) be metric spaces, let AXA\subseteq X, let f:AYf:A\to Y, and let xAx\in A. Let R\mathbb{R} be the set of real numbers with the order \le of its ordered field structure, and for a,bRa,b\in\mathbb{R} write a<ba<b to mean that aba\le b and aba\ne b.

We say that ff is continuous at xx relative to AA if for every εR\varepsilon\in\mathbb{R} with 0<ε0<\varepsilon there exists δR\delta\in\mathbb{R} with 0<δ0<\delta such that every yAy\in A satisfying dX(x,y)<δd_X(x,y)<\delta satisfies

dY(f(y),f(x))<ε.d_Y(f(y),f(x))<\varepsilon .

We say that ff is continuous on AA if ff is continuous at xx relative to AA for every xAx\in A.
