A Countable Uniformly Dense Family of Lipschitz Functions on a Compact Metric Space
lemmaAnalysisTopologylem:continuous-uniform-dense-compact-2026aLet be a metric space with nonempty, and let be the collection of subsets of that are open in , which is a topology on by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology. Assume that is compact in .
Let denote the real numbers, with the addition, multiplication, identities, additive inverses, multiplicative inverses and order of their ordered field structure; for write for , write to mean that and , write for the multiplicative inverse of when , let be the absolute value of , and let be given by , which is a metric on by The Absolute Value Metric on the Real Line.
Then the following hold.
1. (Uniform approximation by Lipschitz functions) For every map that is continuous on as a map from to , and for every with , there exists a map that is Lipschitz as a map from to and satisfies
2. (A countable uniformly dense family) There exists a countable set whose elements are maps from to , such that every is Lipschitz as a map from to and is bounded, and such that for every map continuous on and every with there exists with
