of a set of functions

An idea closely connected with the concept of compactness of a set of continuous functions. Let and be compact metric spaces and let be the set of continuous mappings of into . A set is called equicontinuous if for any there is a such that implies for all , . Equicontinuity of is equivalent to the relative compactness of in , equipped with the metric

this is the content of the Arzelà–Ascoli theorem. The idea of equicontinuity can be transferred to uniform spaces.
