Uniform convergence #
A sequence of functions Fₙ
(with values in a metric space) converges uniformly on a set s
to a
function f
if, for all ε > 0
, for all large enough n
, one has for all y ∈ s
the inequality
dist (f y, Fₙ y) < ε
. Under uniform convergence, many properties of the Fₙ
pass to the limit,
most notably continuity. We prove this in the file, defining the notion of uniform convergence
in the more general setting of uniform spaces, and with respect to an arbitrary indexing set
endowed with a filter (instead of just ℕ
with atTop
).
Main results #
Let α
be a topological space, β
a uniform space, Fₙ
and f
be functions from α
to β
(where the index n
belongs to an indexing type ι
endowed with a filter p
).

Finally, we introduce the notion of a uniform Cauchy sequence, which is to uniform convergence what a Cauchy sequence is to the usual notion of convergence.
Implementation notes #
We derive most of our initial results from an auxiliary definition TendstoUniformlyOnFilter
.
This definition in and of itself can sometimes be useful, e.g., when studying the local behavior
of the Fₙ
near a point, which would typically look like TendstoUniformlyOnFilter F f p (𝓝 x)
.
Still, while this may be the "correct" definition (see
tendstoUniformlyOn_iff_tendstoUniformlyOnFilter
), it is somewhat unwieldy to work with in
practice. Thus, we provide the more traditional definition in TendstoUniformlyOn
.
