Equicontinuity of a family of functions #
Let X
be a topological space and α
a UniformSpace
. A family of functions F : ι → X → α
is said to be equicontinuous at a point x₀ : X
when, for any entourage U
in α
, there is a
neighborhood V
of x₀
such that, for all x ∈ V
, and for all i
, F i x
is U
-close to
F i x₀
. In other words, one has ∀ U ∈ 𝓤 α, ∀ᶠ x in 𝓝 x₀, ∀ i, (F i x₀, F i x) ∈ U
.
For maps between metric spaces, this corresponds to
∀ ε > 0, ∃ δ > 0, ∀ x, ∀ i, dist x₀ x < δ → dist (F i x₀) (F i x) < ε
.
F
is said to be equicontinuous if it is equicontinuous at each point.
A closely related concept is that of uniform equicontinuity of a family of functions
F : ι → β → α
between uniform spaces, which means that, for any entourage U
in α
, there is an
entourage V
in β
such that, if x
and y
are V
-close, then for all i
, F i x
and
F i y
are U
-close. In other words, one has
∀ U ∈ 𝓤 α, ∀ᶠ xy in 𝓤 β, ∀ i, (F i xy.1, F i xy.2) ∈ U
.
For maps between metric spaces, this corresponds to
∀ ε > 0, ∃ δ > 0, ∀ x y, ∀ i, dist x y < δ → dist (F i x₀) (F i x) < ε
.
Main definitions #
EquicontinuousAt
: equicontinuity of a family of functions at a pointEquicontinuous
: equicontinuity of a family of functions on the whole domainUniformEquicontinuous
: uniform equicontinuity of a family of functions on the whole domain
Main statements #
equicontinuous_iff_continuous
: equicontinuity can be expressed as a simple continuity condition between well-chosen function spaces. This is really useful for building up the theory.Equicontinuous.closure
: if a set of functions is equicontinuous, its closure for the topology of uniform convergence is also equicontinuous.

Implementation details #
We choose to express equicontinuity as a properties of indexed families of functions rather than sets of functions for the following reasons:
- it is really easy to express equicontinuity of
H : Set (X → α)
using our setup: it is just equicontinuity of the family(↑) : ↥H → (X → α)
. On the other hand, going the other way around would require working with the range of the family, which is always annoying because it introduces useless existentials. - in most applications, one doesn't work with bare functions but with a more specific hom type
hom
. Equicontinuity of a setH : Set hom
would then have to be expressed as equicontinuity ofcoe_fn '' H
, which is super annoying to work with. This is much simpler with families, because equicontinuity of a family𝓕 : ι → hom
would simply be expressed as equicontinuity ofcoe_fn ∘ 𝓕
, which doesn't introduce any nasty existentials.
To simplify statements, we do provide abbreviations Set.EquicontinuousAt
, Set.Equicontinuous
and Set.UniformEquicontinuous
asserting the corresponding fact about the family
(↑) : ↥H → (X → α)
where H : Set (X → α)
. Note however that these won't work for sets of hom
types, and in that case one should go back to the family definition rather than using Set.image
.
Since we have no use case for it yet, we don't introduce any relative version
(i.e no EquicontinuousWithinAt
or EquicontinuousOn
), but this is more of a conservative
position than a design decision, so anyone needing relative versions should feel free to add them,
and that should hopefully be a straightforward task.

If F : ι → X → α

it tends to f y
