Supremum convergence for decreasing continuous functions
ID: supremum-convergence-for-decreasing-continuous-functions
On a nonempty compact Hausdorff space, let continuous nonnegative functions decrease pointwise. Their suprema decrease to a finite number . For every , the sets are nonempty nested closed sets; compactness gives a common point with limit value at least . Thus the supremum of the pointwise limit is . The limit need not be continuous, and this conclusion does not claim uniform convergence as in the Dini theorem.
