(Unusual proof) Proof that a sequence of functions converges to a function via Induction.

61 Views Asked by At

I came across a rather unusual proof but I’m not sure if it is correct or incorrect. I want to prove that, for a sequence of functions $f_n:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow [0,1]$

$$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\quad f_n(x)=f(x)$$

I found a proof by induction on $x$. Since the domain is $\mathbb{N}$ they prove that

$$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\quad f_n(0)=f(0)$$ $$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\quad f_n(1)=f(1)$$

And then suppose that

$$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\quad f_n(k)=f(k)$$

holds. Then it is just left to prove that

$$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\quad f_n(k+1)=f(k+1)$$

Can you give the arguments why this is correct or incorrect?
