Let (X, p) and (Y, d) be metric spaces with at least two points. It is usual for introductory courses in topology to study the set Yx of all functions mapping X to Y with the pointwise, compact-open, uniform convergence, and uniform convergence on compacta topologies. Some care is taken to show sufficient conditions for these topologies to be equivalent [1, 2]. However, the question of necessary conditions are dismissed with examples showing that the topologies are not in general equivalent.
