Question

10. The purpose of this exercise is to show that pointwise convergence need not imply convergence in the L² sense. Consider the functions fn(x) = { n²(1 - nx) if 0 < x ? 1/n 0 if 1/n < x < 1. Show that this sequence converges pointwise to some function f(x) (which you will need to find) on the interval 0 < x < 1. Then, show that the sequence does not converge to f(x) in the L² sense.

          10. The purpose of this exercise is to show that pointwise convergence need not
imply convergence in the L² sense. Consider the functions
fn(x) = {
n²(1 - nx) if 0 < x ? 1/n
0 if 1/n < x < 1.
Show that this sequence converges pointwise to some function f(x) (which
you will need to find) on the interval 0 < x < 1. Then, show that the sequence
does not converge to f(x) in the L² sense.
