the upper bound of the supremums of the sequence

85 Views Asked by At

Let $f_{n}:S\to R$ be the sequence of uniformly continuous non-negative functions, $S$ is some normed space, such that for every $n$ $$ \underset{s\in C}{\sup} f_{n}(s) < \infty. $$

Next, assume that for every $s$ in some subset $C \subset S$, with $S$ compact or only bounded) $$ \underset{n\to\infty}{\limsup}f_{n} (s) \leq g(s), $$ where $g(s)$ is continuous and assume $\underset{s\in C}{\sup} g(s) < \infty$, if $S$ is not compact.

Is the following true $$ \underset{n\to\infty}{\limsup} \underset{s\in C}{\sup} f_{n} (s) < \infty $$ ?

This is not true. Take $S = C = [0, 1] \subset \mathbb{R}$. Let $f_n$ be the function that is constant zero, except for a linear spike of height $n$ between $1/(n + 1)$ and $1/n$. Then note that $\limsup_n f_n(s) = 0$ for all $s \in [0, 1]$,so we may set $g(s) = 0$. Also, since each $f_n$ is continuous on a compact domain, each $f_n$ is uniformly continuous, and also $\sup_{s \in [0, 1]} f_n(s) = n < \infty$.

However, $\limsup_n \sup_{s \in [0, 1]}f_n(s) = \limsup_n n = \infty$.
