MTH631 Assignment 1 Solution

QNO1: Define the pointwise convergence of a sequence of


x
function. Plot the functions fn(x)= n for n=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and
x∈[-1,1] and in view of this graph discuss the pointwise
convergence of the sequence of functions.
x
Sol: fn(x) = n x∈[-1,1]

Let check for x= -1


−1
fn(-1)= n = -1,-1/2,-1/3,……..,-1/10
−1
fn(-1)= n =a defined increasing and converges to 0 if n=∞

lets check for x=1


1
fn(-1)= n = 1,1/2,1/3,……….1/10
1
fn(1)= n = a= a defined number decreasing and converges to
0 if n= ∞
lets check for x=0
0
fn(0)= n = 0,0/2,0/3……0/10
0
fn(0)= n = 0 converges to 0

In all cases it is pointwise convergent


Here we see that from graph f1,f2 and f3 converges towards 0
QNO2: Define the convergence of a sequence of a function.
Given sequence of function fn: (0,1)→R defined by
1 nx
fn(x)= −
nx nx +1

Examine this sequence for pointwise and uniform convergence.


Sol: A Sequence {fn} of functions defined on a set S converges
uniformly to the limits function F on S if
lim ¿|F n−F|∨s
n→∞ =0
Thus, {Fn} converges uniformly to F on S if for each ε > 0 there is
an integer N such that
||Fn-F||s<ε if n≥ N (i)
A sequence of function fn(x) converges uniformly on a
function f(x) on a set S if, for every ε > 0 there exists an N such
that for all n>N and for all x in S we have |fn(x)-f(x)|<ε
1 nx
fn(x)= −
nx nx +1 and x∈(0,1)
1
check for x= 2

1 nx
fn(1/2)= −
nx nx +1

let check separately 1/nx=0


for
nx ∞
=
nx+ 1 ∞ from divide n to numenator or denominator
x
= x+1 /n
=1 as n → ∞

Same for result fn(1/3)………..fn(1/x)


1 nx
fn(1/2)= nx − nx +1 =−1 so it is pointwise convergent

Now we check uniform convergence


1 nx
lim |f n ( x )−f ( x )|=lim ¿(
n→∞ n→∞ nx
¿ ¿−
nx +1
) —1¿¿ =
lim |( 0−1 ) +1 )=0 hence lim f n ( x )−f ( x ) ∨¿ 0 ¿
n→∞ n →∞ ¿

Hence function is uniform convergent


QNO3: State Cauchy’s criterion and Weierstress test f or
uniform convergence for test the uniform convergence of the
n −nx
(−1) e
series ∑ u n , un = 5 n 2+1
by using Weierstress.

SOL: We need to find Mn such that |u ( x )∨≤ M n n for all n∧∑ M n


n−1

converges
n −nx
(−1) e
Given un =
5 n 2+1
we need to bound |un|

First observe that |(-1)n|=1 for all n


−nx
e
Now we focus on 2
5n +1
−nx 2
since e ∧5 n +1 are always positive, we
1
only need to find the maximum value of 2
5n +1

1
Notice that 5n2+1 ≥1 for all n, So, 2
5n +1
≤1

Therefore, we have |un ( x )∨≤ 1 for all n∧∑ 1


n−1
converges by Weiertress

M test, the series ∑ u n converges uniformly


n −1


e−nx
So the series ∑ (−1)n 5 n2 +1
converges uniformly
n −1
