Stream: Is there code for X?

Topic: Extension of function by continuity


Igor Khavkine (Jun 25 2025 at 13:50):

Is there any API in Mathlib about extending functions by continuity? Namely if X,YX, Y are topological spaces and f ⁣:UYf\colon U \to Y is a continuous function on a dense subset UXU \subset X, then if there exists a continuous extension of ff to fˉ ⁣:XY\bar{f}\colon X \to Y, then it is unique. Also if ff has appropriate continuity properties around the excluded points of XUX \setminus U, then the extension fˉ\bar{f} can be defined by taking limits.

I've found something about extending continuous functions on a uniform space to its completion, but that's not immediately useful in this context.
