Are the results of uniform convergence of sequences of functions still valid for an uncountable index set?

101 Views Asked by At

Results like interchanging order of limit and integral. How to see/prove that they are?

For example, for $f:\Bbb R\to\Bbb R$ and fixed $x,y$:

$\displaystyle\int\lim_{h\to 0}f(x+hy)=\lim_{h\to 0}\int f(x+hy)$

After some googling, I found that we can not talk about uncountable sequences of functions since by definition sequences are over a countable index set. I realize we don't need such a notion to prove the above example, but I would like to know how to see how we generalize.

Thank you.

I think you can simply use this statement

Statement: If $f:\Bbb R\to\Bbb R$ is any function (you can also change the domain and range to any metric space). Then $\lim\limits_{h\to 0} f(h) = L$ if and only if for every sequence $h_n$ such that $h_n\to0$ as $n\to\infty,$ we have $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty} f(h_n) = L$.
