Continuity and Uniform Continuity521 May 12, denote a subset of the real numbersRandf:S Rwill be a real valued function defined onS. The setSmay be bounded likeS= (0,5) ={x R: 0< x <5}or infinite likeS= (0, ) ={x R: 0< x}.It may even be all ofR. The valuef(x) of the functionfat the pointx Swill be defined by a formula (or formulas).Definition functionfis said to becontinuous onSiff x0 S >0 >0 x S[|x x0|< = |f(x) f(x0)|< ].Hencefis not continuous1onSiff x0 S >0 >0 x S[|x x0|< and|f(x) f(x0)| ].Definition functionfis said to beuniformly continuous onSiff >0 >0 x0 S x S[|x x0|< = |f(x) f(x0)|< ].
