For real-valued functions, the Uniform Cauchy criterion applied to partial sums says that has uniform convergence exactly whenSufficiency uses completeness of the real numbers.
Let be a common bound for the uniformly bounded family of functions ; increase it if necessary so that . The assumed uniform absolute convergence of gives such thatThe triangle inequality now yieldsThe Uniform Cauchy criterion therefore proves uniform convergence of . The same estimate with proves uniform absolute convergence as well.
