x/n uniformly convergent?












0












$begingroup$


Let $f_n(x) : mathbb{R} rightarrow mathbb{R}$ be defined as $dfrac{x}{n}$. Is $f_n$ uniformly convergent?



With "$(a_n)$ is limited and $(b_n)$ converges to 0 $Rightarrow (a_nb_n)$ converges also to 0" i would guess that $xcdot dfrac{1}{n}$ converges uniformly but $x$ is not limited in this case. So does ist converge uniformly or not?

    You need to specify an interval for the values of $x$.

It really depends on which space you are considering your set of functions: on every bounded set the convergence will be uniform, in every unbounded, not uniform.

If you are taking $x in [a, b]$ a fixed, closed sub-interval of $mathbb{R}$, then $|frac{x}{n}| leq |frac{b}{n}|$, which can be made arbitrarily small only depending on the value of $n$.



If you are taking $x in mathbb{R}$, then given any $epsilon > 0$, there exists $x in mathbb{R}$ such that $|frac{x}{n}| geq epsilon$ (it is enough to choose $x geq n epsilon$). So you cannot have $|frac{x}{n}| leq epsilon$ for all $x$ as soon as $n$ is big enough. Hence the convergence is not uniform on $mathbb{R}$.

    If you are taking $x in [a, b]$ a fixed, closed sub-interval of $mathbb{R}$, then $|frac{x}{n}| leq |frac{b}{n}|$, which can be made arbitrarily small only depending on the value of $n$.



    If you are taking $x in mathbb{R}$, then given any $epsilon > 0$, there exists $x in mathbb{R}$ such that $|frac{x}{n}| geq epsilon$ (it is enough to choose $x geq n epsilon$). So you cannot have $|frac{x}{n}| leq epsilon$ for all $x$ as soon as $n$ is big enough. Hence the convergence is not uniform on $mathbb{R}$.
