Statement

Let (X,dX)(X,d_X) and (Y,dY)(Y,d_Y) be metric spaces, let A⊆XA\subseteq X, let f:A→Yf:A\to Y, and let x∈Ax\in A. Let R\mathbb{R} be the set of real numbers with the order ≤\le of its ordered field structure, and for a,b∈Ra,b\in\mathbb{R} write a<ba<b to mean that a≤ba\le b and a≠ba\ne b.

We say that ff is continuous at xx relative to AA if for every ε∈R\varepsilon\in\mathbb{R} with 0<ε0<\varepsilon there exists δ∈R\delta\in\mathbb{R} with 0<δ0<\delta such that every y∈Ay\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 x∈Ax\in A.
