Let (X,dX) and (Y,dY) be metric spaces, let A⊆X, and let f:A→Y. Let R be the set of real numbers with the order ≤ of its ordered field structure, and for a,b∈R write a<b to mean that a≤b and a=b.
We say that f is uniformly continuous on A if for every ε∈R with 0<ε there exists δ∈R with 0<δ such that all x,y∈A satisfying dX(x,y)<δ satisfy
dY(f(x),f(y))<ε.
