Suppose a series of functions has uniform absolute convergence on and is a uniformly bounded family of functions there, with common bound . The triangle inequality gives
The right-hand side tends uniformly to zero as . The Uniform Cauchy criterion proves uniform convergence of . Applying the same estimate to proves uniform absolute convergence too.
The shared bound over both and matters: separate bounds for each can grow too fast. For example, the constant functions and have a summable original series but products identically one.
The exponential series gives . Since on , the Weierstrass M-test proves uniform absolute convergence, using the summable bounds . Therefore one can integrate the series term by term over this finite interval. Using part i,
This is the alternating identity in sophomore's dream. The same estimate also proves absolute convergence of the integrated series; no cancellation is needed to justify the interchange.
For real-valued functions, the Uniform Cauchy criterion applied to partial sums says that has uniform convergence exactly when
Sufficiency 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 that
The triangle inequality now yields
The Uniform Cauchy criterion therefore proves uniform convergence of . The same estimate with proves uniform absolute convergence as well.
