It is set in small type as supplementary.

a) Let U\mathfrak{U} denote the additive uniformity on the real line R\mathbf{R}, let U1\mathfrak{U}_1 denote the uniformity induced on R\mathbf{R} by that of the extended line R‾\overline{\mathbf{R}}, and let U2\mathfrak{U}_2 denote the uniformity induced on R\mathbf{R} by that of the one-point compactification R~=P1(R)\tilde{\mathbf{R}} = P_1(\mathbf{R}) of R\mathbf{R}. Show that U\mathfrak{U} is strictly finer than U1\mathfrak{U}_1, that U1\mathfrak{U}_1 is strictly finer than U2\mathfrak{U}_2, and that the topologies induced by these three uniformities are the same; also that the completions of R\mathbf{R} with respect to these three uniformities are respectively R\mathbf{R}, R‾\overline{\mathbf{R}} and R~\tilde{\mathbf{R}}. The identity mapping of R\mathbf{R} extends by continuity to an injective but not surjective mapping R→R‾\mathbf{R} \to \overline{\mathbf{R}} and to a surjective but not injective mapping R‾→R~\overline{\mathbf{R}} \to \tilde{\mathbf{R}}.

b) Deduce from a) an example of two Hausdorff uniform spaces X,YX, Y and a uniformly continuous bijection u:X→Yu : X \to Y whose extension by continuity uˉ:X^→Y^\bar{u} : \hat{X} \to \hat{Y} is neither injective nor surjective.*
