# If $f \in C_0^\infty$, then is $f$ uniformly continuous?

If $f \in C_0^\infty=\{ g: g\in C^\infty, \lim_{|x|\rightarrow \infty}g(x)=0\}$, then is $f$ uniformly continuous on $\mathbb R$? ($f : \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$)

This is true. Hint: You can split $f$ up into a part where you can control it and a different part where it is very small – Listing Jun 10 '12 at 12:09
Doesn't this just follow from the fact that $f$ has compact support, is continuous on that compact set, and hence uniformly continuous on that set (and hence all of $\mathbb{R}$, since $f\equiv0$ outside of the set.) – Patch Jun 10 '12 at 12:12
Doesn't the $0$ in the subscript mean compact support? Then it follows from being continuous on a compact set... – Seth Jun 10 '12 at 12:13
People from PDE use $C_0^\infty$ to denote compactly supported functions. People from harmonic analysis (like Rudin) use $C_c$ to denote continuous functions with compact support, while the subscript 0 is used for "vanishing at infinity". – Siminore Jun 10 '12 at 12:40
I do not think that this is a duplicate of that question. – mixedmath Jun 10 '12 at 12:59

2. $\lim_{|x| \to \infty} f(x) = 0$ means that $\forall \epsilon...$
