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. See
tendstoLocallyUniformlyOn_of_forall_exists_nhd
for the one-way implication; the equivalence
assuming local compactness is part of tendstoLocallyUniformlyOn_TFAE
.
We adopt this weaker condition because it is more general but appears 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
.

Uniform limit, uniform convergence, tends uniformly to
A sequence of functions Fₙ
converges locally uniformly on a set s
to a limiting function
f

if, for any entourage of the diagonal u
, for any x ∈ s
, one
has p
-eventually (f y, Fₙ y) ∈ u
for all y
in a neighborhood of x
in s
.

On a compact space, locally uniform convergence is just uniform convergence.
For a compact set s
, locally uniform convergence on s
is just uniform convergence on s
.
If every x ∈ s
has a neighbourhood within s
on which F i
tends uniformly to f
, then
F i
tends locally uniformly on s
to f
.
Note this is not a tautology, since our definition of TendstoLocallyUniformlyOn
is slightly
more general (although the conditions are equivalent if β
is locally compact and s
is open,
see tendstoLocallyUniformlyOn_TFAE
).
If every x
has a neighbourhood on which F i
tends uniformly to f
, then F i
tends
locally uniformly to f
. (Special case of tendstoLocallyUniformlyOn_of_forall_exists_nhd
where s = univ
.)
