Uniform convergence of this series?
$begingroup$
Let us consider : $f_n : mathbb{R}ni x mapsto frac{x}{(x^2+n^2)log(n)}inmathbb{R}$ for $n> 1$.
I need to prove that $sum _{nge 0}f_n$ is uniformly convergent.
I've already proved that it is not normally convergent by studying the term $(f_n)'$.
Thanks in advance !

@Dzoooks Indeed it's $n>1$, my mistake. Your hint seems to be linked with normal convergence of the series ?

Indeed, uniform convergence basically means it is independent of $x$.

@Dzoooks Ok I know what you meant ! It depends on the references, but some people use two notions : "uniform convergence" and "normal convergence" and the second one implies the first. And the goal of the exercise is to prove that there is only uniform convergence with no normal convergence.

We will use Cauchy's test. Let us consider
$$
Big|sum_{k=n+1}^m f_k(x)Big|=sum_{k=n+1}^m frac{|x|}{(x^2+k^2)log k}
$$ for $m>n$. We can see that
$$begin{eqnarray}
sum_{k=n+1}^m frac{|x|}{(x^2+k^2)log k}&le& frac{1}{log n}sum_{k=n+1}^m frac{|x|}{x^2+k^2}\
&le&frac{1}{log n}int_n^m frac{|x|}{x^2+y^2}dy\
&=&frac{1}{log n}int_{frac{n}{|x|}}^{frac{m}{|x|}} frac{1}{1+z^2}dz\
&le&frac{1}{log n}int_{0}^{infty} frac{1}{1+z^2}dz\
&=&frac{pi}{2log n}
end{eqnarray}$$ for all $xinmathbb{R}$. Thus, we have
$$
lim_{n,mtoinfty}Big|sum_{k=n+1}^m f_kBig|_infty lelim_{ntoinfty}frac{pi}{2log n}=0
$$ and Cauchy's test gives the result.
