MAT242 2011-2012 Summary of Chapter 1 I. Definitions 1. We say that a sequence of functions (fn)n converges pointwise on X to a function f if for every x ? X, for every > 0 there exists N ? N such that if n ≥ N then |fn(x)? f(x)| ≤ . We say that a series of functions ∑∞ n=1 fn converges pointwise on X to a function f if for all x ? X the partial sums ∑n k=1 fk converge to f(x). 2. We say that a sequence of functions (fn)n converges uniformly on X to a function f if for every > 0 there exists N ? N such that if n ≥ N then |fn(x) ? f(x)| ≤ for all x ? X, or in other words supx?X |fn(x)? f(x)| ? 0 as n?∞. We say that a series of functions ∑∞ n=1 fn converges uniformly on X to a function f if the partial sums ∑n k=1 fk converge to f(x) uniformly on x. 3. We say that a series ∑ un converges normally on X if the series ∑ supx?X |un(x)| converges.
