[Math] uniform convergence of sequences of analytic functions

complex-analysissequences-and-series

Suppose you have a sequence $f_n$ of analytic functions on an open set $\Omega$, which converges uniformly on compact subsets of $\Omega$. Can you conclude that $f_n$ converges uniformly on the whole open $\Omega$?

Best Answer

No: if $\Omega:=\{z,|z|<1\}$, and $f_n(z):=z^n$, this sequence converges uniformly to $0$ on compact sets (because such a set is contained in $B(0,r),r<1$) but not on $\Omega$ as $f_n(1-n^{—1)}\to e$.
