Given pointwise convergence of $f_n rightarrow f$, does $lim_{epsilon rightarrow 0} f(x+epsilon) = f(x)$...
$begingroup$
I was wondering if provided that the partial sums $f_n$ converge to $f$ matching pointwise convergence, what this would imply:
$$
lim_{varepsilon rightarrow 0} f(x+varepsilon) = f(x)
$$
If that would be the case, for all $x$, wouln't this imply uniform convergence? And if not, why.
Many thanks in advance!

So $f$ is a series?

This is just saying $f$ is continuous. You won't necessarily have uniform convergence. Look at $f_n(x)=chi_{(0,1/n)}$ on $[0,1]$.

Example: let $f_n(x)= frac{nx}{1+n^2x^2}$. Then $ (f_n)$ converges pointwise to the function $f(x)=0$ on $ mathbb R.$ Then we have $lim_{varepsilon rightarrow 0} f(x+varepsilon) = f(x)$ for all $x$. But $(f_n)$ does not converge uniformly, since $f_n(1/n)=1/2$ for all $n$.
