sum function of series

Let the terms of a series be real functions $f_n$ defined in a certain subset $A_0$ of $ℝ$; we can speak of a function series.  All points $x$ where the series

$f_1+f_2+\mathrm{\cdots }$ (1)

converges form a subset $A$ of $A_0$, and we have the   $S:x\mapsto S(x)$  of (1) defined in $A$.

If the sequence  $S_1,S_2,\mathrm{\dots }$  of the partial sums  $S_n=f_1+f_2+\mathrm{\cdots }+f_n$  of the series (1) converges uniformly (http://planetmath.org/LimitFunctionOfSequence) in the interval  $[a,b]\subseteq A$  to a function   $S:x\mapsto S(x)$,  we say that the series in this interval.  We may also set the direct

Definition.  The function series (1), which converges in every point of the interval  $[a,b]$  having sum function  $S:x\mapsto S(x)$,  in the interval  $[a,b]$,  if for every positive number $\epsilon$ there is an integer $n_{\epsilon }$ such that each value of $x$ in the interval  $[a,b]$  the inequality

when  $n\geqq n_{\epsilon }$.

Note.  One can without trouble be convinced that the term functions of a uniformly converging series converge uniformly to 0 (cf. the necessary condition of convergence).

The notion of of series can be extended to the series with complex function terms (the interval is replaced with some subset of $ℂ$).  The significance of the is therein that the sum function of a series with this property and with continuous term-functions is continuous and may be integrated termwise.
