prove that $f_n(x) = frac{n^2x}{1 + n^2x^2log n}$ converge but not uniform












2












$begingroup$



I have to prove that the sequence of functions
$$
f_n(x) = frac{n^2x}{1 + n^2x^2log n},
$$
converges.




So I think that I can just show that $lim_{n to infty} (f_n) = 0$ pointwise. But to show that the sequence does not converge uniformly, I need to show that $f_n$ has a point of maximum $x = frac{1}{n sqrt{log n}}$ and at this point, the limit is equal to infinity. Is that correct?



And finally I need to show that $forall alpha > 0$ in the interval $mathbb{R} setminus (-alpha,+alpha)$, the sequence $f_n$ converges uniformly, but I don't have ideas how to do it.

    Okay, I got it, for example $f_n(x) = x^n(1-x^n)$. When $x = sqrt[n]{1/2}$ we have $f_n = 1/4$, thus is not uniformly convergent, correct?

    Yes, because the max-norm is always at least $1/4$ so cannot go to zero.

$1). $ If $x=0$ the sequence clearly converges to $0$. If not, then $|f_n(x)|le frac{1}{xlog n}to 0$ as $nto infty$ so $(f_n)$ is pointwise convergent.



$2). $ The trouble will be near zero, so take $x_n=1/n$. Then $x_nto 0$ whereas $f_n(x_n)to infty$, and so $(f_n)$ is not uniformly convergent.



$3). $ $f_n$ is odd for each $nge 1$ so it suffices to check $[alpha,infty).$ In this case,$ |f_n(x)|le frac{1}{alphalog n}$ so $(f_n)$ is uniformly bounded, and so converges uniformly.
