\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:set-uniform-pseudometric}
Let $T$ be a set, $\mathfrak{S} \subset 2^T$ be a non-empty family of sets, and $(X, \fU)$ be a uniform space whose uniformity is induced by the pseudometrics $\seqi{d}$. For each $i \in I$ and $S \in \mathfrak{S}$, let
\[
d_{i, S}: X^T \times X^T \quad (f, g) \mapsto \sup_{x \in S}d_i(f(x), g(x))
\]
then
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\bracs{d_{i, S}| i \in I, S \in \mathfrak{S}}$ is a family of pseudometrics induces the $\mathfrak{S}$-uniformity on $X^T$.
\item If $\mathfrak{S}$ is upward-directed with respect to inclusion, then
\[
\bracs{\bigcap_{j \in J}E(d_{j, S}, r)|J \subset I \text{ finite}, r > 0, S \in \mathfrak{S}}
\]
is a fundamental system of entourages for the $\mathfrak{S}$-uniformity on $X^T$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
(1): Let $S \in \mathfrak{S}$ and $U \in \fU$, then there exists $r > 0$ and $J \subset I$ finite such that $\bigcap_{j \in J}E(d_j, r) \subset U$, so
\[
\bigcap_{j \in J}E(d_{j, S}, r) \subset E\paren{S, \bigcap_{j \in J}E(d_j, r)} \subset E(S, U)
\]
and the uniformity induced by $\bracs{d_{i, S}| i \in I, S \in \mathfrak{S}}$ contains the $\mathfrak{S}$-uniformity.
On the other hand, for any $i \in I$ and $r > 0$, $E(d_j, r/2) \in \fU$ by \ref{definition:pseudometric-uniformity}. Therefore $E(S, E(d_j, r/2)) \subset E(d_{j, S}, r)$, so the $\mathfrak{S}$-uniformity contains the induced uniformity.
(2): If $\mathfrak{S}$ is upward-directed with respect to inclusion, then by \ref{definition:set-uniform},
\[
\bracs{E(S, U)| U \in \fU, S \in \mathfrak{S}}
\]
Following the same steps in (1),
\[
\bracs{\bigcap_{j \in J}E(d_{j, S}, r)|J \subset I \text{ finite}, r > 0, S \in \mathfrak{S}}
\]
is a fundamental system of entourages for the $\mathfrak{S}$-uniformity.

(1, symmetric open): Let $i \in I$ and $r > 0$. Since $d_i$ is symmetric, so is $U_{i, r}$.

\begin{enumerate}
\item $f \in UC(X; Y)$.
\item For every uniformly continuous pseudometric $d_Y$ on $Y$, there exists a uniformly continuous pseudometric $d_X$ on $X$ such that for all $x, y \in X$, $d_Y(f(x), f(y)) \le d_X(x, y)$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
(1) $\Rightarrow$ (2): $d_X(x, y) = d_Y(f(x), f(y))$ is a uniformly continuous pseudometric.
(2) $\Rightarrow$ (1): Let $U$ be an entourage of $Y$. By \ref{theorem:uniform-pseudometric}, there exists a uniformly continuous pseudometric $d_Y$ on $Y$ and $r > 0$ such that $E(d_Y, r) \subset U$. By assumption, there exists a uniformly continuous pseudometric $d_X$ on $X$ such that $d_Y(f(x), f(y)) \le d_X(x, y)$. In which case, $(f \times f)(E(d_X, r)) \subset U$, and the pre-image of $U$ by $(f \times f)$ is an entourage in $X$ by \ref{definition:pseudometric-uniformity}, so $f \in UC(X; Y)$.
