Definition
Let X and Y be metric spaces, and let f be a function from X to Y. Then f is Cauchy-continuous if and only if, given any Cauchy sequence (x1, x2, …) in X, the sequence (f(x1), f(x2), …) is a Cauchy sequence in Y.

Famous quotes containing the word definition:

“The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction.... The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyperreal.”
