Locally uniform convergence #
We define a sequence of functions Fₙ
to converge locally uniformly to a limiting function f
with respect to a filter p
, spelled TendstoLocallyUniformly F f p
, if for any x ∈ s
and any
entourage of the diagonal u
, there is a neighbourhood v
of x
such that p
-eventually we have
(f y, Fₙ y) ∈ u
for all y ∈ v
.
It is important to note that this definition is somewhat non-standard; it is not in general
equivalent to "every point has a neighborhood on which the convergence is uniform", which is the
definition more commonly encountered in the literature. The reason is that in our definition the
neighborhood v
of x
can depend on the entourage u
; so our condition is a priori weaker than
the usual one, although the two conditions are equivalent if the domain is locally compact.
We adopt this weaker condition because it is more general but apppears to be sufficient for the standard applications of locally-uniform convergence (in particular, for proving that a locally-uniform limit of continuous functions is continuous).
We also define variants for locally uniform convergence on a subset, called
TendstoLocallyUniformlyOn F f p s
.
