[parent] uniform continuity of Lipschitz functions (Theorem)
Proposition 1   An Hölder continuous mapping is uniformly continuous. In particular any Lipschitz continuous mapping is uniformly continuous.
Proof. Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a mapping such that for some $C>0$ and $\alpha$ with $0 < \alpha \le 1$ one has $$ d_Y(f(p),f(q)) \le C d_X(p,q)^\alpha. $$ For every given $\epsilon > 0$ , choose $\delta=\left(\epsilon/(C+1)\right)^{\frac 1 \alpha}$ . If $p,q\in X$ are given points satisfying $$ d_X(p,q)<\delta $$ then $$ d_Y(f(p),f(q))\leq C \delta^\alpha \le C\frac{\epsilon}{C+1} < \epsilon, $$ as desired. $ \qedsymbol$
