Proof of Uniform Convergence on I for $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f_n(x)$

  • Thread starter burak100
  • Start date
In summary, the given problem asks to show that if the sequence of continuous functions \lbrace f_n(x)\rbrace_{n=1}^{\infty} converges uniformly on the interval I = [0, \frac{\Pi}{2}], then the integral of the infinite sum \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f_n(x) on the same interval is equal to the sum of the integrals of each individual function. This can be proven by using the definition of uniform convergence and taking the limit of the integral as the upper bound approaches infinity.

Homework Statement


[itex]I = [0, \frac{\Pi}{2}][/itex] is an interval, and [itex]\lbrace f_n(x)\rbrace_{n=1}^{\infty}[/itex] is sequence of continuous function. [itex]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f_n(x)[/itex] converges uniformly on the interval[itex]I[/itex] .
Show that holds

[itex] \int_{0}^{\frac{\Pi}{2}} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} f_n(x)dx = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \int_{0}^{\frac{\Pi}{2}} f_n(x)dx [/itex]

can we say that?

If [itex]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f_n(x)[/itex] converges uniformly on [itex]I=[0, \frac{\Pi}{2}][/itex],
then we can write,

[itex]\int_0^{\frac{\Pi}{2}} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f_n(x)dx = \int_0^{\frac{\Pi}{2}} \lim_{\frac{\Pi}{2} \rightarrow \infty} S_n(x)dx = \lim_{\frac{\Pi}{2} \rightarrow \infty} \int_0^{\frac{\Pi}{2}} S_n(x)dx [/itex]
[itex]~~~=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \int_0^{\frac{\Pi}{2}} f_n(x)dx [/itex]

FAQ: Proof of Uniform Convergence on I for $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f_n(x)$

What is uniform convergence?

Uniform convergence is a type of convergence in which the rate of convergence is the same at all points in the given interval. This means that the difference between the function and its limit approaches zero at a consistent rate, rather than being dependent on the particular point in the interval.

How is uniform convergence different from pointwise convergence?

In pointwise convergence, the function converges to its limit at each individual point in the interval. However, the rate of convergence may vary at different points. In uniform convergence, the rate of convergence is consistent throughout the entire interval.

What is the significance of proving uniform convergence?

Proving uniform convergence is important because it ensures that the limit function is continuous. This is useful in many applications, as it allows for easier manipulation and calculation of the function.

What are some common techniques for proving uniform convergence?

Some common techniques for proving uniform convergence include the Cauchy criterion, the Weierstrass M-test, and the comparison test. These methods involve comparing the given series to a known convergent series and using properties of convergence to show that the given series also converges.

Can a series be uniformly convergent without being absolutely convergent?

Yes, a series can be uniformly convergent without being absolutely convergent. Uniform convergence only requires that the rate of convergence is consistent throughout the interval, while absolute convergence requires that the series converges absolutely at each point in the interval.
