[parent] Cauchy condition for limit of function (Theorem)

A real function $f$ has the limit $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to x_0}f(x)$ if and only if for every positive number $\varepsilon$ there exists another positive number $\delta(\varepsilon)$ satisfying $$|f(u)-f(v)| < \varepsilon\quad \mbox{when}\quad 0 < |u-x_0| < \delta(\varepsilon)\;\;\mbox{and}\;\;0 < |v-x_0| < \delta(\varepsilon).$$
