I meant for uniform convergence, this must hold ##\lim _{n→∞} sup |f_n (x) - f(x) | =0## and in our case, ##\lim _{n→∞} sup |f_n (x)... -

Thanks @WWGD , getting analysis slowly, in any case analysis is not that difficult as i had earlier thought, ... For uniform convergence... -

An example where not all points in a sequence of functions will converge to a continuous function is ##x^n; n=1,2,.. ; x \in [0,1]##... -

clearer now, For ##f(x)=x^n ## on ##[0,1]## three cases to consider. Case 1 consider ##0 ≤x <1## ##x^n → 0, ∀ 0 ≤x <1 ## further... -

Mmathwonk reacted to WWGD's post in the thread Graduate What would happen if we changed the quantifiers in a continuity of a function? with
Like.
|f(x)|<M for all M>0 forces f==0. Consider a sequence decreasing to 0( Edit) monotonically, say {1/n} Then -1/n <f(x)<1/n will squeeze... -
Mmathwonk replied to the thread Graduate What would happen if we changed the quantifiers in a continuity of a function?.the main rule for changing quantifiers is how to form the negation of a statement. to do that you change every existential one into a...
