Undergrad Can we have a pasting lemma for uniform continuous functions

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the possibility of applying the pasting lemma, traditionally used for continuous functions, to uniform continuous functions. It highlights that this lemma is significant in analysis, particularly in constructing piecewise functions. The participants explore conditions under which uniform continuity can be preserved when gluing functions, noting that path-connected spaces allow for this property. Examples provided include gluing closed intervals and finite unions of compact sets, which maintain uniform continuity. The conversation emphasizes the need for specific topological conditions to ensure the lemma's applicability to uniform continuous functions.

In analysis, the pasting or gluing lemma, is an important result which says that two continuous functions can be "glued together" to create another continuous function. The lemma is implicit in the use of piecewise functions. Can we have a similar situation for uniform continuous functions?

The result hold when X has the property that every ball is path connected.

In what context are you working? Real numbers? Connected metric/topological spaces?

For example, gluing two closed intervals keeps things uniform continuous. I guess the finite union of compacts will work too.
