condition for uniform convergence of sequence of functions
Proof of limits of functionsFernando Sanz Gamiz
Theorem 1.
Let be a sequence of real or complexfunctions defined on the interval . The sequenceconverges uniformly to the limit function on theinterval if and only if
Proof.
Suppose the sequence converges uniformly. By the very definition ofuniform convergence, we have that for any there exist such that
hence
Conversely, suppose the sequence does not convergeuniformly. This means that there is an for which there isa sequence of increasing integers and points with the corresponding subsequence of functions such that
therefore
Consequently, it is not the case that
∎
Theorem 2.
The uniform limit of a sequence of continuous complex or realfunctions in the interval is continuous in
