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:
“Surely, we are provided with senses as well fitted to penetrate the spaces of the real, the substantial, the eternal, as these outward are to penetrate the material universe. Veias, Menu, Zoroaster, Socrates, Christ, Shakespeare, Swedenborg,—these are some of our astronomers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
