| | Uniform continuity - Definition, explanation |
 | | In mathematical analysis, a function f(x) is called uniformly continuous if, roughly speaking, small changes in the input x effect small changes in the output f(x) ("continuity"), and furthermore the size of the changes in f(x) depends only on the size of the changes in x but not on x itself ("uniformity"). |
 | | Continuity itself is a local property of a function—that is, a function f is continuous, or not, at a particular point, and when we speak of a function being continuous on an interval, we mean only that it is continuous at each point of the interval. |
 | | A function is uniformly continuous, or not, on an entire interval, and may be continuous at each point of an interval without being uniformly continuous on the entire interval. |
