Is $ f colon mathbb{R^2} to mathbb{R^2} , f(x,y) = ( x^2, y^2) $ uniformly continuous on $mathbb{R^2} ?$
I think it is not, I tried proving it by contradiction but can't find the right $delta$

  • It's not. Did you try the simpler example in one dimension of $f(x)=x^2$?

First note that $g:x to x^2$ is not uniformly continuous on $mathbb{R}$.



Then note that $e: mathbb{R} to mathbb{R}^2$ given by $e(x) = (x,0)$ is uniformly continuous (even an isometry) and
$pi_1: mathbb{R}^2 to mathbb{R}$ given by $pi_1(x,y) = x$ is also uniformly continuous (a weak contraction even).



So if $f$ were uniformly continuous, so would $pi_1 circ f circ e$ be (compositions of uniformly continuous functions are still uniformly continuous), but this is just $g$ which is not, so $f$ also is not.

    First note that $g:x to x^2$ is not uniformly continuous on $mathbb{R}$.



    Then note that $e: mathbb{R} to mathbb{R}^2$ given by $e(x) = (x,0)$ is uniformly continuous (even an isometry) and
    $pi_1: mathbb{R}^2 to mathbb{R}$ given by $pi_1(x,y) = x$ is also uniformly continuous (a weak contraction even).



    So if $f$ were uniformly continuous, so would $pi_1 circ f circ e$ be (compositions of uniformly continuous functions are still uniformly continuous), but this is just $g$ which is not, so $f$ also is not.
