Prove tht $f(x) = x^{2}$ is uniformly continuous on $bigcup_{n = 1}^{infty} [n, n + 1/n^{3}]$.

$begingroup$



How can I show that the function $f(x) = x^{2}$ is uniformly continuous on $bigcup_{n = 1}^{infty} [n, n + frac{1}{n^{3}}]$?




As $n to infty$, I know that we get only all of the integers; however, the result doesn't make sense to me. I'm aware of both the sequential and $epsilon-delta$ definitions of continuity, but I didn't get anywhere with them.

    Good question! Helps to build some intuition about uniform continuity. It isn't necessary for the set to be compact and/or the function to be "obviously uniform continuous".

Hint



Let $epsilon>0$. You need to choose $delta$ so $|x-y|<delta$ implies $|x^2-y^2|<epsilon$, as $x,y$ range over your set. You can always make $delta$ smaller; choose $delta$ small enough so that $|x-y|<delta$ implies they are in the same interval $[n,n+n^{-3}]$.



The maximum value of $|x^2-y^2|$ for $x, yin [n,n+n^{-3}]$ is $(n+n^{-3})^2-n^2=2n^{-2}+n^{-6}$. We can choose $N$ large enough so $n>N$ implies this difference is less than $epsilon$. This allows us to restrict our attention to the intervals $[n,n+n^{-3}]$ where $n<N$. On those intervals, $f$ has a bounded derivative.

    Note that for $x,yin [m,m+{1over m^3}]$ for some $m$ we have$$|x^2-y^2|le left(m+{1over m^3}right)^2-m^2={2over m^2}+{1over m^6}le {3over m^2}$$then for some $epsilon>0$ let $N=lfloorsqrt{3over epsilon}rfloor+1$ therefore we obtain $$text{for }x,y in [m,m+{1over m^3}], mge Nto |x^2-y^2|<epsilon$$and for $x,y in [m,m+{1over m^3}]$ , $ m< N$ let $delta_m(epsilon)>0$ be such that if $|x-y|<delta_m(epsilon)$ then $|x^2-y^2|<epsilon$ therefore we finally write the general $delta $ as$$delta= min_{1le mle lfloorsqrt{3over epsilon}rfloor}delta_m(epsilon)$$ which is a function of $epsilon$ and the proof is complete.
