In mathematics, a sequence of functions from a set ''S'' to a metric space ''M'' is said to be uniformly Cauchy if: * For all , there exists such that for all : whenever . Another way of saying this is that as , where the uniform distance between two functions is defined by : == Convergence criteria == A sequence of functions from ''S'' to ''M'' is pointwise Cauchy if, for each ''x'' ∈ ''S'', the sequence is a Cauchy sequence in ''M''. This is a weaker condition than being uniformly Cauchy. In general a sequence can be pointwise Cauchy and not pointwise convergent, or it can be uniformly Cauchy and not uniformly convergent. Nevertheless, if the metric space ''M'' is complete, then any pointwise Cauchy sequence converges pointwise to a function from ''S'' to ''M''. Similarly, any uniformly Cauchy sequence will tend uniformly to such a function. The uniform Cauchy property is frequently used when the ''S'' is not just a set, but a topological space, and ''M'' is a complete metric space. The following theorem holds: * Let ''S'' be a topological space and ''M'' a complete metric space. Then any uniformly Cauchy sequence of continuous functions ''f''n : ''S'' → ''M'' tends uniformly to a unique continuous function ''f'' : ''S'' → ''M''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uniformly Cauchy sequence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
