No. Consider the triangular functions . The absolute-value and positive-part maps are Lipschitz continuous, so . Each is therefore uniformly continuous on the whole real line. For its value is always one; for every fixed it eventually vanishes. Hence its pointwise limit isThis limit is not continuous at zero: along , . Individual uniform continuity does not provide a modulus uniform in .
