This is equivalent to the statement that f x is a convergent sequence n→∞ n 0 n whenever xn is convergent. The concept of slowly oscillating continuity is defined in the sense that a function f is slowly oscillating continuous if it transforms slowly oscillating sequences to slowly oscillating sequences, that is, f x is slowly oscillating whenever x is slowly oscillating. A n n sequence xn of points in R is slowly oscillating if lim λ→1 lim nmax n1≤k≤ λn |xk − xn | 0, where λn denotes the integer part of λn. Using ε 0’s and δ’s, this is equivalent to the case when, for any given ε 0, there exist δ δ ε 0 and N N ε such that |xm − xn | ε if n ≥ N ε and n ≤ m ≤ 1 δn. A new type compactness is also defined and some new results related to compactness are obtained. Copyright q 2008 H. C¸ akalli.
