Properties
Every uniformly continuous function is also Cauchy-continuous, and any Cauchy-continuous function is continuous. Conversely, if X is a complete space, then every continuous function on X is Cauchy-continuous too. More generally, even if X is not complete, as long as Y is complete, then any Cauchy-continuous function from X to Y can be extended to a function defined on the Cauchy completion of X; this extension is necessarily unique.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
