Concentrating triangular bump

ID: concentrating-triangular-bump

On , for , these continuous functions have support , height , and integral one. Their pointwise limit is zero: at zero every value vanishes, while every fixed positive argument eventually leaves the support. Thus pointwise convergence of continuous functions on a compact interval does not suffice for convergence of their integrals. The mass becomes more concentrated as its height grows.
