Generalization To Topological Vector Spaces
In the special case of two topological vector spaces and, the notion of uniform continuity of a map becomes: for any neighborhood of zero in, there exists a neighborhood of zero in such that implies
For linear transformations, uniform continuity is equivalent to continuity. This fact is frequently used implicitly in functional analysis to extend a linear map off a dense subspace of a Banach space.

Famous quotes containing the word spaces:
“Though there were numerous vessels at this great distance in the horizon on every side, yet the vast spaces between them, like the spaces between the stars,—far as they were distant from us, so were they from one another,—nay, some were twice as far from each other as from us,—impressed us with a sense of the immensity of the ocean, the “unfruitful ocean,” as it has been called, and we could see what proportion man and his works bear to the globe.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
