Theorem 8.2.7: Uniform Convergence and Integration |
Let fn(x) be a sequence of continuous functions defined on the interval [a, b] and assume that fn converges uniformly to a function f. Then f is Riemann-integrable and |
Since fn are continuous and converge uniformly to f, the limit function must be continuous. In particular all functions must therefore be Riemann integrable. Also:
Since the right side goes to zero as n goes to infinity we are done.
