Yes. Let be any sequence in , where . At coordinate , the values lie in the compact interval . By part (a)(ii) we can successively extract a convergent subsequence for coordinate one, a further one for coordinate two, and so on. Taking the diagonal indices gives a single subsequence for whichThe closed interval bound passes to the limit, so . Hence and .
Coordinate convergence alone would not imply supremum norm convergence. Here the common tail bound supplies the missing estimate. Given , choose with . For ,For the finitely many , coordinate convergence makes all differences less than once is large. Therefore , andThis is an instance of compactness from uniformly vanishing sequence tails. The common bound is exactly what the coordinate vectors in part (i) lack.
