Claim: If f is continuous on [a,b] then f is uniformly continuous on [a,b].
Proof: Suppose that f is not uniformly continuous on [a,b], then there exists ϵ>0 such that for each δ>0 there must exist x,y∈[a,b] such that |x−y|<δ and |f(x)−f(y)|≥ϵ .
Thus for each n∈N there exists xn,yn such that |xn−yn|<1n, and By B-W, xn has a subsequence xnk with limit xo that belongs to [a,b].
Now here is where I am confused, the author next states that "Clearly we also have x0 is the limit of the sub-sequence ynk". Are xn and yn not potentially different sequences? Why would the same indexes chosen to form a sub-sequence give the same convergent value.
Answer
For every c>0, there exists k0 such that k>k0 implies that $|x_0-x_{n_k}|
