real analysis - If (fn)tof uniformly and fn is uniformly continuous for all n then f is uniformly continuous




Show if is true or false: if (fn) converges uniformly to f, and fn is uniformly continuous for all n then f is uniformly continuous



I think is true. My attempt to prove it: if (fn)f uniformly then we can write


(ε>0)(NN)(xD):|fn(x)f(x)|<ε,n>N


and cause all fn are uniformly continuous


(ε>0)(δ>0)(x,yD):|xy|<δ|fn(x)fn(y)|<ε,nN


and I want to prove that both conditions implies


(ε>0)(δ>0)(x,yD):|xy|<δ|f(x)f(y)|<ε


where D is the domain of all of them (cause I have the previous knowledge that uniform convergence of continuous functions implies that the limit function is continuous).



Then from (3) I can write


|f(x)f(y)|=|f(x)fm(x)+fm(x)f(y)||f(x)fm(x)|+|fm(x)f(y)|


Then I will use some m that holds (1) for some ε3. And from (2) I will use the δ that holds for the same ε3. If |f(y)fm(y)|<ε3 then $f(y)

|f(x)f(y)||f(x)fm(x)|+|fm(x)f(y)|<ε3+|fm(x)fm(y)ε3|<ε3+|fm(x)fm(y)|+ε3<ε3+ε3+ε3=ε


then it proves that exists a δ such that |f(x)f(y)|<ε for some ε in the required conditions. Now, can you check my proof, telling me if it is right or if it lacks something? Thank you in advance.


Answer



Choose a δ which works in equation (2) for ϵ0=ϵ3>0. Then, by (1) (uniform convergence) we have an N such that |fn(x)f(x)|<ε and |fn(y)f(y)|<ε holds m>N. Now we apply the manipulation in clark's comment to obtain:


|f(x)f(y)||f(x)fm(x)|+|fm(x)fm(y)|+|fm(y)f(y)|


From here, we have


|f(x)fm(x)|<ϵ0=ϵ3 by uniform converge (at x)



|fm(x)fm(y)|<ϵ0=ϵ3 by uniform continuity (of fm)


|fm(y)f(y)|<ϵ0=ϵ3 by uniform converge (at y)


Thus we now know that


|f(x)fm(x)|+|fm(x)fm(y)|+|fm(y)f(y)|<ϵ3+ϵ3+ϵ3=ϵ


as required.


Note how carefully I selected my δ, feel free to ask why I did things this way if any of what I did seems unnecessary to you.
