Let \(X\) be a uniformly discrete metric space. We say that \(X\) has property A if for every \(\epsilon > 0\) and \(R>0\) there exists a collection of finite subest \(\{ A_{x} \}_{x \in X}, A_{x} \subseteq X \times \mathbb{N}\) for every \(x \in X\), and a constant \(S > 0\) such that
  1. \(\frac{\#(A_{x}\Delta A_{y})}{\#(A_{x} \cap A_{y})} \leq \epsilon \text{ when } d(x,y) \leq R, \text{ and}\)
  2. \(A_{x} \subseteq B(x,S) \times \mathbb{N}\).
Let \(X\) be a uniformly discrete metric space with bounded geometry. \(X\) has property A if and only if for every \(\epsilon > 0\) and \(R > 0\) there exists a map \(\xi: X \to \ell^1(X)_{1,+}, x \maps \to \xi_{x}\), and a number \(S > 0\) such that
  1. \(\left\| \xi_{x} - \xi_{y} \right\| \leq \epsilon \text{ if } d(x,y) \leq R \text{ and} \)
  2. \(\supp \xi_{x} \subseteq B(x,S)\).
Let \(X\) be a metric space with property A and let \(\{ A_{x} \}\) and \(S > 0\) satisfy the conditions of property A for a given \(\epsilon > 0\) and \(R > 0\). If \(d(x,y) \leq R\) then \[ 1 \leq \frac{\#A_{x}}{\#(A_{x} \cap A_{y})} \leq 1 + \epsilon \text{ and } \frac{1}{1+\epsilon} \leq \frac{\#A_{x}}{\#A_{y}} \leq 1 + \epsilon. \]
Let \(\{ X_{i} \}_{i \in \mathbb{N}}\) be a sequence of finite metric spaces. The coarse disjoint union of \(X_{i}\) has property A if and only if for every \(\epsilon > 0\), \(R > 0\) and for all but finitely many \(i \in \mathbb{N}\) the space \(X_{i}\) has a Higson-Roe function \(\xi^i\) for \(\epsilon\) and \(R\) satisfying \(\supp \xi^i_{g} \subseteq B(x,S)\), where \(S > 0\) independent of \(i\).
