A question on max norm












1














This is question 30 in chapter 7 from royden



"Let ${f_n}$ be a sequence in C[a, b] and $sum a_k$ a convergent series of positive numbers such
that $|| f_{k+1}- f_k||_{max} leq a_k, forall k$
Prove that
$|f_{k+n}(x)- f_k(x) | leq || f_{k+n}- f_k||_{max} leq sum_{j=n}^{infty}a_j , forall k,n $



Conclude that there is a function f$in$ C[a, b] such that ${fn} rightarrow f$ uniformly on [a, b] "



I know that, it is easy to solve this question if the series above starts from j=k , by adding and subtracting $f_{k+1},..., f_{k+n-1 } $ to the leftside and useing the triangular inequality.



But in this problem the seris starts from j=n.
I tried hard to solve it., however I have not any good idea.
Can you help me??
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    Well, the statement is not true and that's why you couldn't solve it. It looks like a typo. To see this, suppose it's true and take $n$ to $infty$.Then we get $lim_n f_n = f_k$ for all $k$ which is absurd.

    To elaborate slightly on my first comment, as a "test" consider constant functions $f_k$ defined via $f_{k+1}(x) = f_k(x)+a_k$.
