Pointwise Convergence

Definition (Pointwise convergence)

Let I⊂RI\subset \mathbb{R} be an any interval and let (fn)n∈N(f_{n})_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence of real-valued functions on II:

  1. The sequence converges pointwise on II if the limit lim⁡n→∞fn(x)\lim_{ n \to \infty } f_{n}(x) exists for each point x∈Ix\in I
  2. The series ∑n=1∞fn(x)\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f_{n}(x)converges pointwise on II is the series Convergence for each point x∈Ix\in I
  3. (fn)n∈N(f_{n})_{n\in\mathbb{N}} converges pointwise on II iff ∀ϵ>0, ∀x∈I, ∃N>0:∣fn(x)−f(x)∣<ϵ ∀n≥N\forall\epsilon>0,\ \forall x\in I,\ \exists N>0 :|f_{n}(x)-f(x)|<\epsilon\ \forall n\ge N
