    If $f|_S$ is uniformly continuous then it can be natuarlly extended to a uniformly continuous function on the closure of $S$. Hence $f$ itself has to be uniformly continuous. If you weaken the assumption to "there is a sequence of sets $S_n$ such that their union is dense in $R$ and f restricted to $S_n$ is uniformly continuous on $S_n$" then it's true for measurable functions by Lusin's Theorem.

    @MartinKell: It's true that $f|_S$ will extend to a uniformly continuous function (call it $g$), but $f$ need not agree with $g$ on $S^c$, so we cannot conclude that $f$ is uniformly continuous.

  • @Nate: true, the conclusion was too quick. However it shows that a dense subset where f is uniformly continuous is rather restrictive. A counterexample is just sin(1/x) with arbitrary value at zero: 1st for all but the zero value the function is continuous so it’s graph closed at (x,f(x)), 2nd for no value at 0 is the function continuous. Especially it’s not uniformly continuous. Btw. usng non-compactness is $mathbb{R}$ one may contruct even continuous counterexamples.

Consider the following modification of the Dirichlet "popcorn" function:
$$f(x) = begin{cases} 1/q, & text{$x in mathbb{Q}$, $x=p/q$ in lowest terms} \
-1, & x notin mathbb{Q},, x < 0 \
-2, & x notin mathbb{Q}, , x > 0.end{cases}$$
Since every real number can be approximated by rationals with arbitrarily large denominator, the graph of $f$ contains the $x$-axis, which is the uniformly continuous function $0$.



Let $S subset mathbb{R}$ be dense. If $f|_S$ is uniformly continuous, then it extends to a unique uniformly continuous function $g$ on all of $mathbb{R}$, and we have $f=g$ on $S$.



If $S$ contains a negative irrational number $x$, then $g(x) = f(x) = -1$. Let $y$ be any positive number in $S$. If $y$ is rational, we have $g(y) = f(y) = 0$. Then by the continuity of $g$, there would have to be some $z in S$ with $f(z) = g(z) in (-3/4, -1/4)$ which is impossible. If $y$ is irrational, we get a similar contradiction since $g(y) = f(y) = -2$. So $S$ does not contain any negative irrational. Similarly, $S$ does not contain any positive irrational.



So we must have $S subset mathbb{Q}$. But this is similarly impossible. The rationals in $S$ cannot all have the same denominator (in lowest terms), so let $x_1 = p_1/q_1, x_2 = p_2/q_2 in S$, where $q_1 < q_2$. Then by the continuity of $g$ there must be some $y in S$ with $f(y) = g(y) in (frac{1}{q_1}, frac{1}{q_1+1})$, but $f$ never takes on any such value.

If $S$ contains a negative irrational number $x$, then $g(x) = f(x) = -1$. Let $y$ be any positive number in $S$. If $y$ is rational, we have $g(y) = f(y) = 0$. Then by the continuity of $g$, there would have to be some $z in S$ with $f(z) = g(z) in (-3/4, -1/4)$ which is impossible. If $y$ is irrational, we get a similar contradiction since $g(y) = f(y) = -2$. So $S$ does not contain any negative irrational. Similarly, $S$ does not contain any positive irrational.
