Show that ∞∑n=1(−1)nsin(xn) converges uniformly on every finite interval.
At first thought, I try to find a bound, Mn, for the sine term such that ∞∑n=1Mn<∞.
However, the best I can find is that sin(xn)≤Rn+1n3 for x∈[−R,R]
And now, I totally don't know how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.
Answer
Hint. One may recall that, by a Taylor series expansion, as u→0, we have
sinu=u+O(u3) giving, as n→∞,
sinxn=xn+Ox(1n3) and, for any N≥1,M≥1,
M∑n=N(−1)nsinxn=x⋅M∑n=N(−1)nn+M∑n=NOx(1n3) one may deduce that
|M∑n=N(−1)nsinxn|≤|x|⋅|M∑n=N(−1)nn|+M∑n=N|Ox(1n3)| which yields the uniform convergence of the given series over each compact set [−R,R], R>0.
