Abstract
In this paper we aim to characterize uniformly continuous real functions and pseudometrics on metric spaces, having uniformly continuous extension. For functions we use a very similar approach as McShane in [7] using moduli of continuity. By doing that we obtain an explicit formula for the extension. We also show that our characterization for functions is equivalent to one proposed in [8] for uniform spaces. We then show that a similar approach can be done for uniformly continuous pseudometrics.
To do so we use the notion of chainable metric spaces and intrinsic metrics defined in [9]. A somewhat similar approach has been studied in [6] for normed linear spaces.
期刊介绍:
Topology and its Applications is primarily concerned with publishing original research papers of moderate length. However, a limited number of carefully selected survey or expository papers are also included. The mathematical focus of the journal is that suggested by the title: Research in Topology. It is felt that it is inadvisable to attempt a definitive description of topology as understood for this journal. Certainly the subject includes the algebraic, general, geometric, and set-theoretic facets of topology as well as areas of interactions between topology and other mathematical disciplines, e.g. topological algebra, topological dynamics, functional analysis, category theory. Since the roles of various aspects of topology continue to change, the non-specific delineation of topics serves to reflect the current state of research in topology.
At regular intervals, the journal publishes a section entitled Open Problems in Topology, edited by J. van Mill and G.M. Reed. This is a status report on the 1100 problems listed in the book of the same name published by North-Holland in 1990, edited by van Mill and Reed.
