1. If two sequences of functions converge uniformly, their sum and product also converge uniformly if the functions are bounded. 2. It is possible to construct sequences that converge uniformly but whose product does not converge uniformly. 3. The given series converges absolutely for x > 0 and fails to converge uniformly on intervals where x = 0. The sum function is continuous wherever the series converges and is bounded.

HW7

1. If {fn } and {gn } converge uniformly on a set E, prove that {fn + gn } converges
uniformly on E. If, in addition, {fn } and {gn } are sequences of bounded functions,
prove that {fn gn } converges uniformly on E.
2. Construct sequences {fn }, {gn } which converge uniformly on some set E, but such
that {fn gn } does not converge uniformly on E( of course, {fn gn } must converge on
E).
3. Consider
f (x) =

X
n=1

1
.
1 + n2 x

For what values of x does the series converge absolutely? On what intervals does
it fail to converge uniformly? Is f continuous wherever the series converges? Is f
bounded?
4. Let

0,
f (x) = sin2 x ,

0,

1
x < n+1
,
1
x n1 ,
n+1
1
< x.
n

Show that {fn } converges to a continuous function, but not uniformly. Use the series
P
fn to show that absolute convergence, even for all x, does not imply uniform
convergence.
5. Prove that the series

(1)n

n=1

x2 + n
n2

converges uniformly in every bounded interval, but does not converge absolutely for
any value of x.
6. For n = 1, 2, 3, . . . , x real, put
fn (x) =

x
.
1 + nx2

Show that {fn } converges uniformly to a function f , and that the equation
f (x) = lim fn (x)
n

is correct if x 6= 0, but false if x = 0.

7. If

(
0, x 0,
I(x) =
1, x > 0,

P
if {xn } is a sequence of distinct points of (a, b), and if
|cn | converges, prove that
the series

X
f (x) =
cn I(x xn ) (a x b)
n=1

converges uniformly, and that f is continuous for every x 6= xn .

8. Let {fn } be a sequence of continuous functions which converges uniformly to a


function f on a set E. Prove that
lim fn (xn ) = f (x)
n

for every sequence of points xn E such that xn x, and x E. Is the converse


of this true?
