Uniformly convergent on each ccmpact set of $mathbb R$ but not on $mathbb R$

$begingroup$


As the title says, I am looking for a sequence of function which is uniformly convergent on all compact sets of $mathbb R$ but not on $mathbb R$.



I thought $f_n(x) = x/n$ is such a function since for any x in a bounded and closed subset of $mathbb R$. $sup(f_n(x)-f(x)) to 0$ as $ntoinfty$. But since $mathbb R$ is unbounded $x$ can get infinitely large thus the function sequence does not uniformly converge on $mathbb{R}$. I wanted to check if my understanding is correct. Thank you

    Here is another example of what you are looking for where it is a little more difficult to prove uniform convergence on the compact intervals.
