Consider uniform spaces X and Y and a separately uniformly continuous real-valued function f on X × Y. The following question arises in the theory of games: under what conditions can f be extended to a separately continuous function on × Ŷ, where , Ŷ are the completions of X and Y respectively? Firstly observe that such an extension is not always possible. If X = Y = (0, 1] with the usual uniform structure and f(x, y) = xy then f is separately uniformly continuous but has no separately continuous extension to × Ŷ = [0, 1]2 since such an extension would satisfy f(0, .) = 0 on Y and f(., 0) = 1 on X and so would necessarily have a discontinuity in one argument at the origin.
