1.
$$ h_n(x) = x^ 1 + frac12n-1 = x^ frac2n-1+12n-1 = x^frac2n2n-1 = (x^2)^fracn2n-1 = (x^2 )^ frac12-frac1n $$



then $$ lim_nrightarrow infty h_n(x) = (x^2)^frac12 = |x| $$



  1. $ $
    I want to know if the convergence is pointwise or uniform.

$ $ Let $x in [-1,1]$



$$ | h_n(x)-|x| | = | x^ 1 + frac12n-1 - |x|| = | x^1 x^frac12n-1 - |x| | = | xbig( x^frac12n-1-(pm1) big) | leq |x^frac12n-1-(pm1) big)| $$ since $|x|leq 1 Big(xin [-1,1]Big)$



but I'm stuck. How would you do that?

    You could say $$lim h_n(x) = lim_infty x^ 1 +frac12n-1 =x^1+frac1infty=x$$

  • @Nosrati I don't get it...Because in part 1. I showed that $lim h_n(x) = |x|$

  • You need to be careful about 'changing the order' of powers: $$x=x^1=x^2/2ne (x^2)^1/2=|x|$$You can change it as you like assuming $xge 0$

  • (note that you have $2n-1$[odd] so you can always take a real root of $x$, even when $xin[-1,0)$)

The convergence is indeed uniform. Note that $h_n$ and $h(x)=|x|$ are both even functions so it is enough to prove uniform convergence on $[0,1]$. So consider $|x^1+frac 1 2n-1 -x|$ with $0leq x leq 1$. This is $x|1-e^frac 1 2n-1 log x|$. Use the inequality $1-e^-t leq t$ for all $t geq 0$ to see that $x|1-e^frac 1 2n-1 log x| leq frac (-xlog x) 2n-1$. Note that $xlog x$ is bounded, so the last quantity tends to $0$ uniformly.

The convergence is indeed uniform. Note that $h_n$ and $h(x)=|x|$ are both even functions so it is enough to prove uniform convergence on $[0,1]$. So consider $|x^1+frac 1 2n-1 -x|$ with $0leq x leq 1$. This is $x|1-e^frac 1 2n-1 log x|$. Use the inequality $1-e^-t leq t$ for all $t geq 0$ to see that $x|1-e^frac 1 2n-1 log x| leq frac (-xlog x) 2n-1$. Note that $xlog x$ is bounded, so the last quantity tends to $0$ uniformly.
