2. Continuity

Definition 0. continuous

A function ff is continuous at the point aa, if for any neighborhood V(f(a))V (f (a)) of its value f(a)f (a) at a there is a neighborhood U(a)U(a) of a whose image under the mappingf f is contained in V(f(a))V (f (a)).

Definition 1. uniformly continuous

A function f:ERf : E \to \mathbb R is uniformly continuous on a set ERE \subset \mathbb R if for every ε>0\varepsilon > 0 there exists δ>0\delta > 0 such that f(x1)f(x2)<ε|f (x_1)−f (x_2)| < \varepsilon for all points x1,x2Ex_1,x_2\in E such thatx1x2<δ |x_1 − x_2| < \delta.

Mean-value theorem

Heine–Cantor theorem

if f:MNf : M \to N is a continuous function between two metric spaces, and MM is compact, then ff is uniformly continuous. An important special case is that every continuous function from a closed bounded interval to the real numbers is uniformly continuous.

Heine theorem

The limit limxaf(x)=b\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=b's a necessary and sufficient condition for $$\forall
