A classical result states that:
Let $\sum_n u_n(x),\quad u_n\in C^m(\mathbb{R})$ be a functions series, such taht:
- $\sum_n u_n^{(k)}(x),\quad \color{red}{0\leq k\leq m-1}$ are convergent,
- $\sum_n u_n^{(m)}(x)$ is uniformly convergent.
Then
- $\sum_n u_n^{(k)}(x),\quad 0\leq k\leq m$ are uniformly convergent,
- $\sum_n u_n(x)$ is of class $C^m$,
- $\left(\sum_n u_n(x)\right)^{(k)}=\sum_n u_n^{(k)}(x),\quad 0\leq k\leq m$.
What if we replace the second hypothesis by the following: $$ \sum_n u_n(x) \qquad \text{ is uniformly convergent},$$ the result is still valid? Are there other versions with weak hypotheses?
Counterexample: $u_n(x)=\frac{\cos nx}{n^2}$, $m=1$.
In this case, $\sum_n u_n(x)$ is uniformly convergent and $u_n\in c^1(\mathbb R)$. However, $$\sum_n u_n'(x)=-\sum_n \frac{\sin nx}{n}$$ is convergent but not convergent uniformly on $\mathbb R$.
Actually, we have this result:
