Is it acceptable to write "the function $f_n$ is cts for every $n \in \mathbb{N}$"?

84 Views Asked by At

When I have a sequence of functions $f_n$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, is it OK or acceptable to write

"The function $f_n$ is continuous for every $n \in \mathbb{N}$"

meaning

"For every $n \in \mathbb{N}$, the function $f_n$ is continuous"?

Thank you.

When writing with symbols, the quantifiers ("for every natural $n$" / "$\forall n\in\Bbb N$") has to come before using the $n$ for something like referring to the functions $f_n$. When writing in English, it's common to let it come after, as long as it's still part of the same sentence.

You should be okay in doing this provided 1. it's true (with justification?) and 2. it's clear from the context of your writing what the domain is of these functions.
