Uniform convergence and differentiation: Let fn:[a,b]→Rf_n:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} be continuous on [a,b][a,b] and on (a,b)(a,b) for every nn. Assume that the sequence of derivatives fn′f_n' converges on (a,b)(a,b) to a function gg, and that there exists x0∈[a,b]x_0\in[a,b] such that the real sequence (fn(x0))(f_n(x_0)) converges. Then fnf_n converges uniformly on [a,b][a,b] to a function ff, the limit ff is differentiable on (a,b)(a,b), and

f′(x)=g(x)for all x∈(a,b).f'(x)=g(x)\quad\text{for all }x\in(a,b).

This provides a standard criterion for passing a limit through the operator, complementing results like and .
