Heine–Cantor Theorem

Continuous functions on compact metric spaces are uniformly continuous
Heine–Cantor Theorem

Heine–Cantor Theorem: Let (X,dX)(X,d_X) be a and let (Y,dY)(Y,d_Y) be a metric space. If f:XYf:X\to Y is , then ff is on XX; i.e., ε>0  δ>0  x,yX: dX(x,y)<δdY(f(x),f(y))<ε.\forall \varepsilon>0\;\exists \delta>0\;\forall x,y\in X:\ d_X(x,y)<\delta \Rightarrow d_Y(f(x),f(y))<\varepsilon.

This upgrades pointwise continuity to uniform control, and is essential for exchanging limits and integrals on compact domains and for approximation arguments.
