The section "Continuous functions that are not (globally) Lipschitz continuous" says that square root is not Lipschitz on (true) but that it is uniformly continuous. It seems to me that if zero is included in the interval, then it is not uniformly continuous either. The cited article [Robbin[ says
1124:
Should the every be changed to any in the opening sentence? "here exists a definite real number such that, for every pair of points on the graph of this function". Every seems to indicate some sort of pairs that already exist, while any is a bit more clear that it can be talking about any 2 point on

The following sentence is not clear to me: "Any such K is referred to as a Lipschitz constant for the function ƒ. The smallest constant is sometimes called the (best) Lipschitz constant; however in most cases the latter notion is less relevant." I would remove the part from "; however..." as we are

I ran into this article looking for the more general "Lipschitz condition" which, unlike "Lipschitz uniform condition" or "Lipschitz continuity", does not even assume the function is differentiable everywhere. Robert Seeley's"An Introduction to Fourier Series and Integrals", for example, defines it
1006:
There should be more examples and in the definition it should state somewhere that in the R^2 case the inequality is simply |f(y)-f(x)| is equal to or less than K|x-y|. Also, the Lipschitz constant should be discussed more, explicitly stating how to find it and that it cannot be less than 0 or

Yes, “L-Lipschitz” is a standard and very common short form for “Lipschitz of constant L”, both in written and spoken mathematical language (and “L-Lip” if you want to be even shorter). In this article a short form for “Lipschitz of constant L” doesn’t seem necessary because the phrase is not
1091:
The example of an one-sided Lipschitz function does not make sense when using the definition in the section; F(x) is scalar, which makes the left-hand side of the definition vector times scalar, thus a vector, while the right-hand side is a norm of a vector. Also, the image of F(x) should be
615:
A bilipschitz function need not be either surjective or injective. However, if a bilipschitz function is bijective, its inverse function is, in fact, bilipschitz. It's even satisfied by the same constant (just switch objects with their images and rearrange the inequalities.)

I've added a subtitle for Real-valued functions, to make it more easily readable and understandable, specifically by people not used to metric spaces. I'm new to Knowledge, so unsure whether this was a good idea or if it was executed well, so feel free to expand upon it.
1192:
Update: Sorry, I think I was missing something. Although in example 15, the set S does not include zero, when I actually read the proof I think it works even if zero is included. I don't know how to delete this comment, only update it.
635:(as the article currently implies). Furthermore, the characterization of bilipschitz function as a Lipschitz injection with Lipschitz inverse is the basic motivation for even being interested in bilipschitz mappings in the first place. 1025:
Some people may have thought it too obvious to mention, but Iler is right that the article should point out explicitly that the Lipschitz constant must be in between 0 and infinity. Otherwise the definition is simply incorrect.
1306: 1021:
The definition Iler just gave is for the Lipschitz condition, not for Lipschitz continuity. The Lipschitz condition is defined for piecewise differentiable functions, so is more general than Lipschitz continuity.

for all x and y in . --- which appears to be the same as Hölder continuity. It also appears to be a misuse of the term `uniform', which should mean `independent of x and y', i.e. not locally Lipschitz. Agreed?
1385:
Yes, this is a good idea. For now, this chain "oscillates": someone replaces the last equality with strict inclusion, then someone restores it. This happens during years. A clarification would help.
816: 140: 681:
I agree that "uniform Lipschitz condition of order α " appears the same as Hölder continuity. I think the "uniform" part in the article is right, there is nothing local in that definition.

I included a phrase to indicate the usage of the phrase 'L-Lipschitz' for a function that is Lipschitz continuous with Lipschitz constant L, as described here:

The first paragraph states Lipschitz continuity condition is "stronger than regular continuity". is this true? need an example in the example section.

Every bilipschitz function is injective. A bilipschitz function is the same thing as a Lipschitz bijection whose inverse function is also Lipschitz.

The definition is not restricted to R, Lipshitz functions are defineded on any metric space, in the section on metric spaces in this article.

This definition and its link with Lipschitz continuity should be mentioned in this article, this section seems to be a good place for it.
328:; in a definition, "X is called A if R" means "X is called A if and only if R" (just because otherwise it would not be a definition); see 1027: 701: 269: 477: 1052: 194: 97: 58: 1189:

repeated too many times. However, the meaning of L-Lipschitz is an information that shouldn’t be missing so I think you did well.

This is wrong. A bilipschitz function is always injective. I hope you agree also that a bilipschitz function is surjective
