Normal convergence

Builds on Series of functionsWeierstrass M-test

Definition

Let SS be a set and let fn ⁣:S→ℝf_n \colon S \to \mathbb{R} be bounded functions for n≥0n \ge 0. The series of functions ∑n=0∞fn\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} f_n converges normally on SS if ∑n=0∞sup⁡x∈S∣fn(x)∣<∞.\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \sup_{x \in S} |f_n(x)| < \infty.

Remarks

By the Weierstrass M-test, a normally convergent series converges absolutely and uniformly on SS. The converse fails. For constant functions fn=(−1)n/(n+1)f_n = (-1)^n / (n + 1), the series converges uniformly but not normally. René Baire introduced the concept in 1908.

Each page uses the pages above it. The colour of the bar on a box shows how strong the evidence is, and the box also gives it as text. The list has the same pages.
