Pointwise convergence with function valued on extended real line

I just want to clarify if we allow $f(x)=infty$ when we define $f_n(x) to f(x)$ pointwise. Or $f_n to f$ would imply that $f(x) neq infty$ (this I assume is different from boundedness?).



Example: $f_n(x)=(1-|x|)n,-1le x le 1$ and $f=0$ otherwise. In this case, $f$ takes infinite values on $(-1,1)$. In this case, can we say $f_n$ converge to $f$ pointwise?

  • This is question about definitions. There is no proof or counter-example involved. In some circumstances Mathematicians allow infinite values but in some other circumstances they don't.
