Uniform convergence and differentiation
If derivatives converge uniformly and one point converges, then the functions converge uniformly and the limit may be differentiated term by term.
Uniform convergence and differentiation: Let be continuous on and differentiable on for every . Assume that the sequence of derivatives converges uniformly on to a function , and that there exists such that the real sequence converges. Then converges uniformly on to a function , the limit is differentiable on , and
This provides a standard criterion for passing a limit through the derivative operator, complementing results like differentiability implies continuity and uniform limits preserve continuity.
