Continuous function as pointwise limit but not as uniform limit of a sequence of continuous functions on...

$begingroup$


I recentaly find an article where it is said that there is a sequence of continuous functions ${f_n:[0,1]rightarrowBbb R}_{nin Bbb N}$ that converges pointqise almost everywhere to zero function , but not converges uniformly.



My question is the following :--



Let $f:[0,1]rightarrow Bbb R$ be continuous , does there always exists a sequence of continuous functions ${f_n:[0,1]rightarrowBbb R}_{nin Bbb N}$ such that $f_nrightarrow f$ pointwise, but not uniformly on $[0,1]$.

          Yes, there is always such a function.



          Take a sequence of continuous functions $g_n$ which converges pointwise, but not uniformly, to $0$. Then $f_n=f + g_n$ converges pointwise, but not uniformly to $f$.



          For an example of such $g_n$, you can take the following:
          $$
          g_n(x) = cases{
          nx & if $x< frac1n$\
          2-nx & if $frac1n leq x < frac2n$\
          0& otherwise}
          $$
          The graph of $g_n$ will be a triangle starting at $(0,0)$, going up to $(1, frac1n)$, then down to $(frac2n, 0)$, and then flat horizontal from there. This does converge pointwise to $0$ (as at any non-zero point $ain [0,1]$, eventually $frac2n<a$, and $g_n(a) = 0$), but not uniformly, as it always has a maximum value of $1$.

          Let $g_n$ be the sequence that converges almost everywhere to $0$, but does not converge uniformly (we already know that exists).



          Let $f$ be a continuous function.



          Then, $f_n=f+g_n$ converges almost everywhere to $f$, but does not converge uniformly.
