556 Chapter 9 • Sequences and Series of Functions
- Determine whether the following sequences {1 n} converge uniformly on
[O, +oo):
(a) fn(x) = xne-nx
1
(c) ln(x) = nx2 + 1
(b) ln(x) = ~e-x/n
n 1
(d) ln(x) = n(x2 + 1)
- For each of the sequences Un} in Exercise 9.1.3, determine whether Un}
converges uniformly on its set S of pointwise convergence. If it doesn't,
find a subset of S on which {1 n} does converge uniformly, if possible. - Prove Part 1 of Theorem 9.2.7.
- Prove that if Un} is a sequence in B(S) converging uniformly on S to 1,
then lllnll __.., 11111· [First prove that I lllnll - 111111 :S llln -111.] - Suppose Un}, {gn} converge uniformly on S , and let r ER Prove that
(a) Un+ 9n} converges uniformly on S.
(b) { r 1 n} converges uniformly on S.
(c) if Un} and fon} are in B(S), then {ln9n} converges uniformly on S. - Prove Theorem 9.2.11.
- Prove Corollary 9.2. 12
