Noun
Meaning
uniform convergence (plural uniform convergences)
(mathematics) A type of convergence of a sequence of functions { fn }, in which the speed of convergence of fn(x) to f(x) does not depend on x.
Examples
Uniform convergence The theory of uniform convergence was treated by Cauchy (1821), his limitations being pointed out by Abel, but the first to attack it successfully were Seidel and Stokes (1847–48).
Consequently, : This demonstrates that for integrals on unbounded intervals, uniform convergence of a function is not strong enough to allow passing a limit through an integral sign.
In the absolutely summable case, the inequality proves uniform convergence.
Note that almost uniform convergence of a sequence does not mean that the sequence converges uniformly almost everywhere as might be inferred from the name.
The following is the more important result about uniform convergence: : Uniform convergence theorem.
