A limit problem

Let $f$ be a bounded and continuous function, $0<a < 1$. $U(x,r)$ is the neighborhood of $x$ with diameter $r$. Can we prove the following equation of two limits $$ \lim_{r\rightarrow 0} \sup_{...

How to compute this limit involving the associated Legendre function?

I am working on an eigenvalue problem whose general solutions involve the associated Legendre functions. Since the goal is to find bounded solutions, my question boils down to understanding the ...

Relation between two notions intermediate between “pointwise convergence” and “uniform convergence”

(I asked this on MSE a week ago, but did not get any answers there, so I'm trying here.) Let $X$ be a topological space. I will define four ways in which a sequence $(f_n)$ of continuous functions $X ...

Behavior of $n^\alpha \sin^{\circ\, n}(n^{-\alpha}x)$

I'll write it formally: Let $\sin^{\circ\, 1}(x) = \sin(x)$ and $\sin^{\circ n+1}(x) = \sin\bigl(\sin^{\circ n}(x)\bigr)$ for $n\in \Bbb N$ with $n>1$. What is the limit as $n \to \infty$? It's ...

Is the harmonic series worse than any summable series?

It is well-known that the harmonic series is not summable. In some sense this means that it takes a lot of rather large values. We define the operator $F_{\varepsilon}: \ell^{\infty}(\mathbb N) \...

How to estimate the order of this integral with parameter

Some introduction: Given a homogeneous structure called "dilation" in $R^n$: For $t\geq 0$ $$D_t: R^n\rightarrow R^n$$ $$D_t(x)=(t^{a_1}x_1,...,t^{a_n}x_n)$$ where $1=a_1\leq...\leq a_n$, ...

Does the following function series converge?

Let $$ f_n(x)=\frac{\frac{1}{(n-1)!}\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor \alpha n-x\rfloor}C_{n-1}^{k}~(-1)^k(\alpha n-x-k)^{n-1}}{\frac{1}{n!}\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor \alpha n\rfloor}C_{n}^{k}(-1)^k(\alpha n-k)^{n}}, $$ ...

Analyze a complicated double summation

Let $f(x)$ be a real-valued twice continuously differentiable function, and considered the below double sum $$F(t,f(x)):=\dfrac{1}{t}\Big(\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\sum_{m=0}^{\infty}f(x+(k-m)/\sqrt{n})\...

Why is this series summable?

Let $\delta, \epsilon \in \mathbb{R}$, $\delta >0$, $\epsilon >0$. Let $\{ a_k\}^\infty$,$\{ b_k\}^\infty$ be sequences of positive integers such that $\lim \sup_{k \rightarrow \infty} \frac{...

Relationship between $f(t,x)$ as $t \to \infty$ and $f(t/\epsilon, x/\epsilon^2)$ as $\epsilon \to 0$ (periodic functions)

Let $f: (0,\infty)\times \mathbb {R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be $1$-periodic in the second variable and in $L^\infty((0,\infty)\times \mathbb{R}).$ If it is necessary, we can also assume $f$ to be continuous. ...

How does the function g(x) behave as x tends to 1?

Suppose $g:[0,1)→R$ is a continuous function satisfying $g(x^2)=x−g(x)$ for every x on interval $[0,1)$. How does the function g(x) behave as x tends to 1?

Baire's simple limit theorem "almost everywhere"

The Baire's simple limit theorem states that if the functions $f_n : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ are continuous and converge everywhere to a function $f$ then $f$ has a dense set of continuity points. ...

Pointwise convergence for continuous functions

Let $f_n:[0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb R$ be a sequence of continuous functions converging pointwise, i.e. such that $\forall x\in [0,1]$, the sequence $(f_n(x))_{n\in \mathbb N}$ converges. We set $f(x)=\...

Optimal condition for the weak convergence of the jacobian determinant

Whenever $n<q,$ it is known that given a sequence $\{ u_{k} \}$ which is weakly convergent in $W^{1,q}(U)$ one has that the Jacobian determinants $\text{det} Du_{k}$ converge weakly in $L^{q/n}(U).$...

Convergence of sequence of polynomials defined by boundary conditions

I'm sorry if my question sounds trivial, but analysis is not my field. Consider the interval $[a,b]\subset \mathbb{R}$. On $[a,b]$, for every $n\in\mathbb{N}$, $n\ge 3$, I define the polynomials $P_n:...

On methods for dealing with recursively defined sequences

Define $a_1=8$ and $a_n=\frac{4^{n+1}-2^{n+2}\sqrt{4^n-a_{n-1}}}{2}$ for $n\geq 2$. By means of harmonic analysis methods it can be shown that $a_n$ converges to $\pi^2$ (this being the first ...

A property of a quasiperiodic function

Let F be a continuous periodic function on R^N. Let a,b be vectors in R^N. Also assume a is not parallel to b. Does the limit of $\varepsilon \int_0^{1/\varepsilon} F(as+b/\varepsilon) ds$ Exist ...
