Is this function uniformly continuous?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the uniform continuity of the function g, which extends a uniformly continuous function f from a dense subset A of metric space X to the complete metric space Y. Participants suggest starting by proving the existence and uniqueness of the extension g. The key challenge is defining g appropriately for all points in X. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the properties of dense subsets and complete metric spaces in relation to uniform continuity. Ultimately, the question remains whether g maintains uniform continuity based on the given conditions.

Homework Statement


we have 2 metric spaces (X, d) and (Y, d')

given:
1) A is a dense subset of X
2) Y is complete
3) there is a uniformly continuous function f: A->Y

let g: X->Y be the extension of f
that is, g(x)=f(x), for all x in A

is g uniformly continuous?

You could start by proving that such an extension exists and is unique. How would you define g?
