Ris continuous on d or simply say continuous if and only if f is continuous at every a 2 d. From these examples you can see that the study of uniform convergence of sequences of functions ff ngrequires certain e ort. Feb 12, 2011 only functions where at least one side of the interval is open, or where one side of the interval is. Basically, with normal or pointwise continuity, for. This function is not uniformly continuous on 0,1 since it can not be extended to a continuous funtion on 0,1 theorem 78. Math 401 notes sequences of functions pointwise and.

Summarizing what have been done, we have determine the pointwise limit of the sequence of functions. Now we discuss the topic of sequences of real valued functions. To prove this we show that the assumption that fnx converges uniformly leads to a contradiction. Math 401 notes sequences of functions pointwise and uniform.

In the compact metric space xa sequence of functions f n not necessarily continuous converge pointwise to a continuous function f. If f k is a sequence of functions on d converging uniformly to a function f on d, then if each f. We will see below that there are continuous functions which are not uniformly continuous. Sequences of functions pointwise and uniform convergence fall 2005 previously, we have studied sequences of real numbers. Uniform convergence implies pointwise convergence, but not the other way around. Also, fmay be lipschitz continuous at other points, but. Let d be a subset of r and let f n be a sequence of continuous functions on d which converges uniformly to f on d. This shows that if a is unbounded, then f can be unbounded and still uniformly continuous. For fto be lipschitz continuous at x, an inequality 1 must hold for all ysu ciently near x, but it is not necessary that 1 hold if yis not near x. Let gbe a uniformly continuous function from m 1 into m 2, and let fbe a uniformly continuous function from m 2 into m 3. What is an example of uniform continuous but not lipschitz.

Even though r is unbounded, f is uniformly continuous on r. A function with a bounded derivative so that the function is continuous, and its value never rises or falls more quickly than at some fixed rate is automatically uniformly. The function x 2 is an easy example of a function which is continuous, but not uniformly continuous, on r. A is an accumulation point of a, then continuity of f at c is equivalent to the condition that lim x. The function f x x2 is not uniformly continuous on r.

In fact, the next theorem shows that a sequence of continuous functions can not converge uniformly to a discontinuous function. Now coming up with an example of a function that is continuous but not uniformly continuous. For example, the function fx 1 x is continuous on 0,1 but not uniformly continuous. Definition of uniform continuity on an interval the function f is uniformly continuous on. A continuous function which is not uniformly continuous. A sequence of functions f nx is said to converge uniformly to f on asets if for every. It makes no sense to talk about a function being uniformly continuous at a. Math 409, fall 20 3mm advanced calculus i tamu math.

Spaces of continuous functions if we strengthen the convergence from pointwise to uniform, the limit of a sequence of continuous functions is always continuous. But differentiability is less well behaved and even less well behaved than integrability. But for the purposes of the examples below, i cannot use compactness, or the fact that a function is uniformly continuous if it. The nal method, of decomposing a function into simple continuous functions, is the simplest, but requires that you have a set of basic continuous functions to start with somewhat akin to using limit rules to nd limits. Since fis uniformly continuous, there exists some 0.

D ris compact if and only if for any given open covering of d we can subtract a. Equicontinuous functions university of british columbia. Below is an example of a function on an interval iwhich is continuous on ibut not uniformly continuous on i. Example last day we saw that if fx is a polynomial, then fis continuous at afor any real number asince lim x. Let d be a subset of r and let fn be a sequence of continuous functions on d which converges uniformly to f on d. A, meaning that there are sequences of values which converge arbitrarily slowly on a, then a pointwise convergent sequence of functions is not uniformly. Only functions where at least one side of the interval is open, or where one side of the interval is. Note that lipschitz continuity at a point depends only on the behavior of the function near that point. Example last day we saw that if fx is a polynomial, then fis.

Sequences of functions pointwise and uniform convergence. We outline the difference between pointwise continuous functions and uniformly continuous functions. So continuous functions are dense in the step functions, and hence, lp. The function x2 is an easy example of a function which is continuous, but not uniformly continuous, on r. Techniques to prove a function is uniformly continuous. Basically, with normal or pointwise continuity, for any given point, for every. You should already know what continuity means for a function. Observations each uniformly continuous function is 7. For example, the sequence fnxxn from the previous example converges pointwise on the interval 0,1, but it does not converge uniformly on this interval. Prove that the convergence is uniform if and only if for any convergent sequence x n. Conclusion a asserts that, if hypotheses h1 and h2 are satis. The converse is if fn is a sequence of continuous functions for which fnxn. In general, for functions defined on unbounded spaces like r, uniform continuity is a rather strong condition. I have looked ahead and have seen that if a function is continuous on a compact domain, then the function is also uniformly continuous.
