Exercise 3.3.7

Give an example to show that Proposition 14.3.6 fails if the phrase "converges uniformly" is replaced by "converges pointwise".

Answers

Consider the same example as in Exercise 3.2 .2(c). That is, g(N) = n=1Nxn. Each of these is a finite sum and hence bounded. However, this sequence converges pointwise to g(x) = x 1x which is not bounded on (1,1).
