Series of Real-Valued Functions and Their Partial Sums

Defines the partial sums of a sequence of real-valued functions on a set, and pointwise and uniform convergence of the resulting series on a subset of that set.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background, let DD be a set, let S⊆DS\subseteq D, let (gk)k∈N(g_{k})_{k\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence in the set of functions from DD to R\mathbb{R}, and let f:D→Rf:D\to\mathbb{R}.

1. (Partial sums) The partial sums of (gk)k∈N(g_{k})_{k\in\mathbb{N}} are the functions sm:D→Rs_{m}:D\to\mathbb{R}, one for each m∈Nm\in\mathbb{N}, given by the finite sum

sm(x)=∑k=1mgk(x)(x∈D),s_{m}(x)=\sum_{k=1}^{m}g_{k}(x)\qquad(x\in D),

and (sm)m∈N(s_{m})_{m\in\mathbb{N}} is a sequence in the set of functions from DD to R\mathbb{R}.

2. (Pointwise convergence of the series) The series ∑k=1∞gk\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}g_{k} converges pointwise to ff on SS if the sequence of partial sums (sm)m∈N(s_{m})_{m\in\mathbb{N}} converges pointwise to ff on SS.

3. (Uniform convergence of the series) The series ∑k=1∞gk\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}g_{k} converges uniformly to ff on SS if the sequence of partial sums (sm)m∈N(s_{m})_{m\in\mathbb{N}} converges uniformly to ff on SS.
