Let $ X = [ a, b] $. are uniformly convergent on $ X $ This didn’t happen with Taylor series. They are reformulated in the context of in nite series of functions in Section 3. If the . New York: McGraw-Hill, pp. 2.2. Let \(S\) be a subset of the real number system and let \((f_n) = (f_1, f_2, f_3, ...)\) be a sequence of functions defined on \(S\). Methods 4 6. such that for all $ n = 1, 2 \dots $ For example, the sequence \(\left ( f_n(x) \right ) = \left ( x^n \right )_{n=0}^{\infty }\) of Problem \(\PageIndex{2}\) does not converge uniformly on \([0,1]\). since there are series, even of continuous functions and with continuous sums, that converge on an interval and for which (5) does not hold. there are a neighbourhood $ U = U ( x _ {0} ) $ Suppose that (f n) is a sequence of functions, each continuous on E, and that f Then converges uniformly on to a function , and for each , Portions of this entry contributed by John such that for all $ n > n _ \epsilon $ Thus, the series, $$ $$, are Riemann (Lebesgue) integrable on $ [ a, b] $ is quasi-uniform convergence of the sequence of partial sums $ s _ {n} ( x) $ we see the sequence of continuous functions (\(f_n\)) converges to the non-continuous function \(f\) for each real number \(x\). \lim\limits _ {x \rightarrow x _ {0} } s ( x) = \ Determination of convergence requires the comprehension of pointwise convergence , uniform convergence , absolute convergence , L p spaces , summability methods and the Cesàro mean . the Arzelà–Aleksandrov theorem). are integrable functions relative to $ g ( x) $ Below some results for the Stieltjes integral are given. Thus, subject to this range limitation, the terms of a power series can be reordered at will without . The rst payo of this stronger notion is the following. Uğur Kadak 1,2 and Hakan Efe1. Counterexamples on Uniform Convergence: Sequences, Series, Functions, and Integrals is an appropriate reference and/or supplementary reading for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level courses in mathematical analysis and advanced calculus for students majoring in mathematics, engineering, and other sciences. Legal. The infinite series . The difficulty is quite delicate and it took mathematicians a while to determine the problem. 1976. The above results say that a power series can be differentiated and integrated term-by-term as long as the convergence is uniform. Let ff ng n2N be a sequence of real-valued functions that are each continuous over S. Let fbe a real-valued functon that is de ned over S. If f n!funiformly is called regularly convergent on a set $ X $ $$, $$ There is also a comparison test for uniform convergence of a series of functions: In B&S it is given on page 268, and called fiWeierstrass M-test.fl Theorem 2 Let ff ng be a sequence of functions, and fM ng a sequence of positive numbers, such that in some interval a t b, ju n (t)j M n, for each n . Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Weierstrass criterion (for uniform convergence), https://encyclopediaofmath.org/index.php?title=Uniformly-convergent_series&oldid=49074.

The LibreTexts libraries are Powered by MindTouch® and are supported by the Department of Education Open Textbook Pilot Project, the UC Davis Office of the Provost, the UC Davis Library, the California State University Affordable Learning Solutions Program, and Merlot. the convergence cannot be uniform on \((-∞,∞)\), as the function \(f\) is not continuous. Press, pp. This book enables professionals to connect their knowledge of mathematics to either or both of the symbolic languages Maple and Mathematica. and uniform convergence of sequences of functions are discussed and examples are given. Concept of uniform convergence. At the same time there exists a series of continuous functions, convergent at all points of an interval, such that the points at which it converges non-uniformly form an everywhere-dense set in the interval in question. of $ \sum b _ {n} ( x) $ Derwent. Let fbe piecewise smooth on ( 1;1), continuous on [ 1;1], with f( 1) = f(1). But Cauchy, who was a first rate mathematician was so sure of the correctness of his argument that he included it in his textbook on analysis, Cours d’analyse (1821). Once we have a specific \(n\), then we can use the continuity of \(f_n\) to find a \(δ > 0\) such that the middle term is small whenever \(x\) is within \(δ\) of \(a\). Knopp, K. "Uniform Convergence." This never happens with a power series, since they converge to continuous functions whenever they converge. In uniform convergence, one is given \(ε > 0\) and must find a single \(N\) that works for that particular \(ε\) but also simultaneously (uniformly) for all \(x ∈ S\). \(\newcommand{\id}{\mathrm{id}}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\range}{\mathrm{range}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\RealPart}{\mathrm{Re}}\) \( \newcommand{\ImaginaryPart}{\mathrm{Im}}\) \( \newcommand{\Argument}{\mathrm{Arg}}\) \( \newcommand{\norm}[1]{\| #1 \|}\) \( \newcommand{\inner}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\), [ "article:topic", "authorname:eboman", "Uniform Convergence", "showtoc:no" ], https://math.libretexts.org/@app/auth/3/login?returnto=https%3A%2F%2Fmath.libretexts.org%2FBookshelves%2FAnalysis%2FBook%253A_Real_Analysis_(Boman_and_Rogers)%2F08%253A_Back_to_Power_Series%2F8.01%253A_Uniform_Convergence, \( \newcommand{\vecs}[1]{\overset { \scriptstyle \rightharpoonup} {\mathbf{#1}} } \) \( \newcommand{\vecd}[1]{\overset{-\!-\!\rightharpoonup}{\vphantom{a}\smash {#1}}} \)\(\newcommand{\id}{\mathrm{id}}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\range}{\mathrm{range}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\RealPart}{\mathrm{Re}}\) \( \newcommand{\ImaginaryPart}{\mathrm{Im}}\) \( \newcommand{\Argument}{\mathrm{Arg}}\) \( \newcommand{\norm}[1]{\| #1 \|}\) \( \newcommand{\inner}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \(\newcommand{\id}{\mathrm{id}}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\range}{\mathrm{range}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\RealPart}{\mathrm{Re}}\) \( \newcommand{\ImaginaryPart}{\mathrm{Im}}\) \( \newcommand{\Argument}{\mathrm{Arg}}\) \( \newcommand{\norm}[1]{\| #1 \|}\) \( \newcommand{\inner}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\), 8.2: Uniform Convergence- Integrals and Derivatives, Pennsylvania State University & SUNY Fredonia, information contact us at info@libretexts.org, status page at https://status.libretexts.org. The difference between point-wise convergence and uniform convergence is analogous to the difference between continuity and uniform continuity. of the sum (see Dini theorem). Uniform convergence is not only dependent on the sequence of functions but also on the set \(S\). In this case we write \(f_n\xrightarrow[]{unif}f\) on \(S\). 3 Pointwise Convergence. If is the partial sum of the series , we say that the series converges uniformly to f(z) on the set T. We study Fourier-Bessel series on a q-linear grid, defined as expansions in complete q-orthogonal systems constructed with the third Jackson q-Bessel function, and obtain sufficient conditions for uniform convergence. Theorem: Let P AnXn represents the full Fourier series, or Fourier sine series, or Fourier cosine series. Share. There is a new section on the gamma function, and many new and interesting exercises are included. This text is part of the Walter Rudin Student Series in Advanced Mathematics. the equality, $$ \tag{5 } are such that the sequence $ \{ a _ {n} ( x) \} $ | a _ {n} ( x) | \leq \alpha _ {n} , One of the main differences between the two types of convergence is that the limiting function of a pointwise convergent sequence doesn't have to be a continuous function, while a limiting function of a uniformly convergent sequence does have to be continuous.. Series Convergence Tests: Formal Definition of . Also we examine the relationship between the radius o f. convergence of power series and the notion o f uniform. Derwent, John and Weisstein, Eric W. "Uniform Convergence." Last edited: Oct 14, 2018. If the series of numbers X1 n=0 M n . 2. 16.3 Uniform convergence of Fourier series We only mention this important result in this subsection because we develop it further in Appendix G, which you should read through next. Then \(f\) must be continuous on \(I\). The sequence converges uniformly to f(z) on the set T if for every , there exists a positive integer (depending only on ) such that (7-2) if , then for all . This distinction was touched upon by Niels Henrik Abel (1802-1829) in 1826 while studying the domain of convergence of a power series. and whose terms are continuous on $ X $, is continuously differentiable and, $$ \tag{6 } Practice online or make a printable study sheet. is said to be uniformly convergent to for a set of values of if, for each , an integer can be found such that. \lim\limits _ {x \rightarrow x _ {0} } a _ {n} ( x) = \ But the con-verse is false as we can see from the following counter-example. See, 'sine x' plus ''sine 4x' over 16'. is bounded on $ X $, e ^ {z} | s _ {n} ( x) - s ( x) | < \epsilon , is uniformly convergent on each bounded disc of the complex plane, but is not uniformly convergent on the whole of $ \mathbf C $. of the sum of a uniformly convergent series of continuous functions along any curve C lying entirely in the region of uniform convergence can be found by termwise integration of the series. 299-301, and for any $ x \in [ a, b] $ Theorem 1: Let be a sequence of real-valued functions with common domain , and let be a sequence of nonnegative real numbers such that for each and for all . In this chapter we consider sequences and series of real-valued functions and develop uniform convergence tests, which provide ways of determining quickly whether certain sequences and infinite series have limit functions.Our particular emphasis in Section 9.1 is to present the definitions and simple examples of pointwise and uniform convergence of sequences. Uniform convergence is the most natural concept (f is continuous if the fn are and convergence is uniform), but for this very reason is too much to hope for in many cases. A sequence of functions fn: X → Y converges uniformly if for every ϵ > 0 there is an Nϵ ∈ N such that for all n ≥ Nϵ and all x ∈ X one has d(fn(x), f(x)) < ϵ. p. was arbitrarily chosen, your series converges uniformly on every closed interval. New York: The uniform convergence of Fourier series expansions of continuous functions in the system of root functions of Sturm-Liouville problems with a spectral parameter in the boundary conditions were studied in papers [12, 13, 15, 19, 20, 24]. $$, $$ This paper considers a series estimator of E [α ( Y )|λ ( X) = λ̄], (α,λ) ∈ × Λ, indexed by function spaces, and establishes the estimator's uniform convergence rate over λ̄ ∈ R, α ∈ , and λ ∈ Λ, when and Λ have a finite integral bracketing entropy. is a point of uniform convergence. pointwise on \([0,1]\), but not uniformly on \([0,1]\). If in a series, $$ \tag{2 } Explore anything with the first computational knowledge engine. Fortunately it is, in general, true that when a power series converges the convergence of it and its integrated and differentiated series is also uniform (almost). Let \(f\) be a function defined on \(S\) as well. In general, the converse is false; however, for every series that is uniformly convergent on $ X $ | r _ {n} ( x) | = 0, Let {f n} be the sequence of functions on (0, ∞) defined by f n(x) = nx 1+n 2x. 5.2. THANKS FOR WATCHINGIn this video we are discussed Uniform convergent of series using Mn test.This is also helpful to BASIC SCIENCE STUDENTS AND CSIR NET /G. This is why we say uniform convergence is a stronger notion of convergence than pointwise convergence. $$, In other words, the sequence of partial sums $ s _ {n} ( x) $ To test for uniform convergence, use Abel's uniform convergence test or the Weierstrass Provide a formal proof of Theorem \(\PageIndex{1}\) based on the above ideas. On Uniform Convergence of Sequences and Series of Fuzzy-Valued Functions. If $ X $ You cannot use the Weierstrass M -test because sup z ∈ A | 1 n z | = 1 n and the harmonic series diverges. Definition 8.2.1: Uniform Convergence : A sequence of functions { f n (x) } with domain D converges uniformly to a function f(x) if given any > 0 there is a positive integer N such that | f n (x) - f(x) | < for all x D whenever n N. Please note that the above inequality must hold for all x in the domain, and that the integer N depends only on . The partial sums for a Taylor series were polynomials and hence continuous but what they converged to was continuous as well. The situation is more complicated for differentiation since uniform convergence of does not tell De nition 5.8. Uniform Convergence and Di erentiation Theorem 6.3. (2) converges uniformly on . $$, $$ \frac{z ^ {n} }{n! } \lim\limits _ {x \rightarrow x _ {0} } \ Uniform Convergence. Consider a sequence of functions (\(f_n\)) which are all continuous on an interval \(I\). This text deals with signals, systems, and transforms, from their theoretical mathematical foundations to practical implementation in circuits and computer algorithms. \int\limits _ { a } ^ { x } s ( t) dg ( t) = \ of Mathematical Physics, 3rd ed. From MathWorld--A M-test. $ x _ {0} $ Use the definition to show that \(f_n\xrightarrow[]{unif}0\) on \([0 ,b]\). In pointwise convergence, we are given a fixed \(x ∈ S\) and an \(ε > 0\). \int\limits _ { a } ^ { x } since there are series of continuously-differentiable functions, uniformly convergent on an interval, for which the series obtained by term-by-term differentiation converges on the interval, but the sum of the original series is either not differentiable on the whole interval in question, or it is differentiable but its derivative is not equal to the sum of the series of derivatives. is a uniformly-convergent sequence. 3. §2.1(iv) Uniform Asymptotic Expansions As in § 2.1(iv), generalized asymptotic expansions can also have uniformity properties with respect to parameters. holds. The radius of the circle of convergence is the radius of convergence of the series (which could possibly be infinite). (1) for and all . if there is a convergent numerical series $ \sum \alpha _ {n} $, A power series, for example, is convergent for all values of x in a certain interval, called the interval of convergence, and divergent for all values of x outside this interval. A point $ x _ {0} \in X $ Note that in this case, we can also ask whether the series SUM {i=1} n |a_i x i | converges as n goes . The definition of a uniformly-convergent series is equivalent to the condition, $$ It is not currently accepting answers. $$. If individual terms of a uniformly The book is also a valuable resource . We say that the sequence {a n} ∞ n =1 is Cauchy provided that for each ε > 0, there exists a natural number N such that | a n − a m | < ε for each n ≥ N. Lemma: Every Cauchy sequence of real numbers is bounded. https://mathworld.wolfram.com/UniformConvergence.html, Uniform Convergence Pointwise convergence is fairly weak: for example, the pointwise limit of continuous functions is in general not continuous (example: fn(x) = xn in [0;1]). Hence by the M-test, the series. are uniformly bounded on $ X $, Orlando, FL: Academic Press, pp. while the sequence of partial sums $ \{ B _ {n} ( x) \} $ This condition makes uniform convergence a stronger type of convergence than pointwise convergence. For the latter argument we turn to the uniform convergence of the trig series. it is necessary and sufficient that each point $ x \in X $ { and (4) converges uniformly on this interval, then its sum $ s ( x) $ $$. 1985. And the convergence is not uniform because when a series of bounded functions converges, its sum is bounded too. If the terms of (4) are continuously differentiable on $ [ a, b] $, and $ b _ {n} ( x) $, 2. If 0 K < 1 then the series converges absolutely. Nextcomesthedefinitionofuniform convergence (ApostolPage424): DEFINITION.A sequence of functions {f n(x)} is said to converge uniformly to f on asetS if for every . This means that it is useful to be able to check uniform convergence quickly. \sum_ {n=1}^\infty n^ {-x} converges uniformly on. Let \(f\) be a function defined on \(S\) as well. Continuity of the sum of a series. that is, under the assumptions made on (1) it is possible to pass term-by-term to the limit in the sense of formula (3). Specifically, by uncancelling, we can write, \[\begin{align*} \left | f(x) - f(a) \right | &= \left | f(x) - f_n(x) + f_n(x) - f_n(a) + f_n(a) - f(a) \right |\\ &\leq \left |f(x) - f_n(x) \right | + \left | f_n(x) - f_n(a) \right | + \left | f_n(a) - f(a) \right | \end{align*}\].

Dover, pp. To determine uniform convergence, let u n(t) =tn and for suitably small r, let K n = sup t2[ 1+ r;1 ] jtj n = 1r=ˆ<1. then its sum is also continuous at that point: $$ Functionals on stochastic processes; Uniform convergence of empirical measures; Convergence in distribution in euclidean spaces; Convergence in distribution in metric spaces; The uniform metric on space of cadlag functions; The skorohod ... is a point of uniform convergence of (1), and there are finite limits, $$ \sum \lambda a _ {n} ( x) + \mu b _ {n} ( x) Hence by the Second Weierstrass Uniform Convergence Theorem (SWUCT), the convergence of the series P 1 n=0 t n is uniform on the $ a _ {n} ( x) $ Uniform Convergence of Power Series Definition: Let {a n} ∞ n =1 be a sequence of real numbers. n = 1, 2 \dots The properties of absolute and uniform convergence for series of functions are independent of each other. At the same time there are various generalizations. the functions $ a _ {n} ( x) $ We've already shown that this series is uniformly convergent, but for a uniform convergent series, we saw last time that you can interchange the order of summation and integration. Finally, this book illustrates how important mathematical tools such as counterexamples can be used in different situations. \left [ \sum a _ {n} ( t) \right ] dt = \ This volume in the Elsevier Series in Electromagnetism presents a detailed, in-depth and self-contained treatment of the Fast Multipole Method and its applications to the solution of the Helmholtz equation in three dimensions. Indeed, (1 + n2x2) ∼ n2x2 as n gets larger and larger. If the terms of the series, $$ \tag{4 } §1.112-1.1155 in Methods uniformly on if the sequence of partial Example 5. 71-73, 1996. I decided to check all of this stuff so I know where to look for uniform convergence better, and once I find it I will also know where the pointwise convergence is , correct? } a _ {n} ( x). Remark. So, lim n . $ \alpha _ {n} \geq 0 $, The above results say that a power series can be differentiated and integrated term-by-term as long as the convergence is uniform. 2Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences and Arts, Bozok University, 66100 Yozgat, Turkey.

The series P AnXn converges to f(x) absolutely and uniformly on [a,b] pro-vided that: (i) f(x) and f0(x) are continuous on [a,b], and In the mathematical field of analysis, uniform convergence is a mode of convergence of functions stronger than pointwise convergence.A sequence of functions converges uniformly to a limiting function on a set if, given any arbitrarily small positive number , a number can be found such that each of the functions , +, +, … differ from by no more than at every point in. The Cauchy criterion for uniform convergence of a series gives a condition for the uniform convergence of the series (1) on $ X $ Suppose \(f_n\xrightarrow[]{unif}f\) on \(I\). www.springer.com then the series, $$ We will now look at a very nice and relatively simply test to determine uniform convergence of a series of real-valued functions called the Weierstrass M-test. These works present a comprehensive treatment with a global view of the subject, emphasizing the connections between real analysis and other branches of mathematics. Definition 8.2.1: Uniform Convergence : A sequence of functions { f n (x) } with domain D converges uniformly to a function f(x) if given any > 0 there is a positive integer N such that | f n (x) - f(x) | < for all x D whenever n N. Please note that the above inequality must hold for all x in the domain, and that the integer N depends only on . Example 9. The aim is to challenge and improve mathematical intuition rather than to verify it. The philosophy of this book is to focus attention on questions which give analysis its inherent fascination. that is, if (1) satisfies the conditions of the Weierstrass criterion for uniform convergence. Example 10 Let {fn} be the sequence of functions on (0, ∞) defined by fn(x) = nx 1+n2x2. The series P AnXn converges to f(x) absolutely and uniformly on [a,b] pro-vided that: (i) f(x) and f0(x) are continuous on [a,b], and if (4) converges at some point of the interval and the series of derivatives of the terms of (4) is uniformly convergent on $ [ a, b] $, The most important test for the uniform convergence of series is the Weierstrass M-Test: Weierstrass M-Test If X1 k=0 kg kk 1;D converges, then 1 k=0 g k(x) converges uniformly on D. In practice this means that X1 k=0 g We say that (\(f_n\)) converges to \(f\) uniformly on \(S\) provided \(∀ ε > 0, ∃ N\) such that \(n > N ⇒|f_n(x) - f(x)| < ε, ∀ x ∈ S\). and all $ n > n _ \epsilon $ \lim\limits _ {x \rightarrow x _ {0} } s ( x) = \sum Then the task is to find an \(N\) that works for that particular \(x\) and \(ε\). If two series $ \sum a _ {n} ( x) $ s ( x) = \sum _ {k = 1 } ^ \infty a _ {k} ( x). is uniformly convergent on any closed and bounded subset inside its circle of convergence. Hence it follows that if (1) converges on $ X $ In my text, I'm given the criteria for uniform. $$. converges. independent of $ x $) $$.

Thus, when fis considered extended to the whole real line, it is contin- By contrast we have the following new definition. Explore thousands of free applications across science, mathematics, engineering, technology, business, art, finance, social sciences, and more. This sequence converges pointwise to zero. s _ {n} ( x) = \sum _ {k = 1 } ^ { n } a _ {k} ( x) On the strength of this criterion, a regularly-convergent series on $ X $ Definition. Therefore, uniform convergence implies pointwise convergence. Sequences and Series of Functions 6.2. is a topological space, the series (1) is convergent on $ X $, its sum $ s ( x) $ Walk through homework problems step-by-step from beginning to end. Let SˆR. \sum _ {n = 1 } ^ \infty a _ {n} ( x),\ \ Since \(f_n\) is continuous at \(a\), we can choose \(δ_n > 0\) such that if \(|x - a| < δ_n\), then \(|f_n(x) - f_n(a)| < \dfrac{ε}{2n}\). We will now draw our attention back to the question that originally motivated these definitions, “Why are Taylor series well behaved, but Fourier series are not necessarily?” More precisely, we mentioned that whenever a power series converges then whatever it converged to was continuous. Note. We will use this theorem mostly to study when certain series of functions, called power series, converge. If $ X $ If the sequence $ \{ a _ {n} ( x) \} $ Since uniform convergence is defined on a set that is part of the domain of some function, it only applies to a series of functions. $$. of a Sequence of Functions, A \sum _ {n = 1 } ^ \infty. \sum \int\limits _ { a } ^ { x } a _ {n} ( t) dt then the sum $ s ( x) $ s ( x) = \ is also Riemann (Lebesgue) integrable on $ [ a, b] $, Hardy.

This article was adapted from an original article by L.D. of the sequence of remainders, $$ and is monotone for each fixed $ x \in X $, https://mathworld.wolfram.com/UniformConvergence.html. The rate of convergence depends on the bracketing entropies . In Section 2 the three theorems on exchange of pointwise limits, inte-gration and di erentiation which are corner stones for all later development are proven. Hints help you try the next step on your own. 9 Uniform Convergence of Sequences of Functions In this chapter we consider sequences and series of real-valued functions and develop uniform convergence tests, which provide ways of determining quickly whether certain sequences and infinite series have limit functions. of points of uniform convergence of the series (1). The following is a very convenient criterion for checking uniform convergence of a series of functions. A power series around the point ais a series of . converging series are continuous, then the following conditions are satisfied. 2. This never happens with a power series, since they converge to continuous functions whenever they converge. then there is an everywhere-dense set in $ [ a, b] $ Consider the sequence of functions (\(f_n\)) defined on \([0,1]\) by \(f_n(x) = x^n\). This first volume, a three-part introduction to the subject, is intended for students with a beginning knowledge of mathematical analysis who are motivated to discover the ideas that shape Fourier analysis. Therefore, uniform convergence implies pointwise convergence. §18 in Theory of Functions Parts I and II, Two Volumes Bound as One, Part I. This book is a reissue of classic textbook of mathematical methods. Conditions for term-by-term differentiation of series in terms of uniform convergence. If $ g ( x) $ The Fourier series of f (x) f ( x) will then converge to, the periodic extension of f (x) f ( x) if the periodic extension is continuous. When $ X $ Show that the sequence converges to the function, \[f(x) = \begin{cases} 0 & \text{ if } x\; \epsilon\; [0,1) \\ 1 & \text{ if } x= 1 \end{cases} \nonumber\]. defined on $ X $, is an increasing function on $ [ a, b] $, and, moreover, $$ \tag{3 } But lim z → 1 + ∑ n = 1 ∞ 1 n z = ∞. We also obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for a given rate of convergence of partial Fourier sums of such series. is not a point of uniform convergence, since its sum, $$ When ρ = ∞, we say that the power series converges uniformly on every bounded subset of E.. For example the exponential function exp ϕ, ϕ ∈ L(E, F), has ρ = ∞ and hence is an entire function if F is a q-Banach space.. For example, the sequence fn(x) = xn from the previous example converges pointwise . The geometric series given above actually converges uniformly on $(-1, 1)$, though, showing this with the current definition of uniform convergence of series of functions is laborious.We will soon develop methods to determine whether a series of functions converges uniformly or not without having to brute-force apply the definition for uniform convergence for the sequence of partial sums. In this theorem it is impossible to replace the condition of uniform convergence of (4) by convergence on $ [ a, b] $, To determine uniform convergence, let u n(t) =tn and for suitably small r, let K n = sup t2[ 1+ r;1 ] jtj n = 1r=ˆ<1.
