Let $f :(0, 1) \to \mathbb{R}$ be continuous. Pick out the statements which imply that $f$ is uniformly continuous.
a. $|f (x) − f (y)| ≤ \sqrt{|x − y|}$, for all $x, y ∈ (0, 1) $.
b. $f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) \to \frac{1}{2}$ and $f\left(\frac{1}{n^2}\right) \to \frac{1}{4}$.
c. $f(x) = x ^{\frac{1}{2}}\sin\left(\frac{1}{x^3}\right)$.
My thoughts:
(c) is uniformly continuous as limits at $x=0$ and $x=1$ are exists.
(a) and (b) I am not sure.
(a) Do you really know the definition of uniform continuity? This part is so obvious.
(b) Consider $\left\vert f\left(\frac1{n^2-1}\right)-f\left(\frac1{n^2}\right)\right\vert$. Note that $\left\vert \frac1{n^2-1}-\frac1{n^2}\right\vert$ will be smaller than any prespecified $\delta>0$ when $n$ is large enough.
