In a past answer to a different thread the following theorem was used:




Theorem 1: If $sum_n=1^inftyf_n(x)$ converges at least at one point, and the series of derivatives $sum_n=1^inftyf_n^'(x)$ converges uniformly in some interval $I$, then in that interval the series can be differentiated term by term, meaning that the sum of the derivatives converges to the derivative of the sum.




After I asked the proof to the author of the answer it was pointed to me this link: Uniform convergence of derivatives, Tao 14.2.7. where the following theorem is found:




Theorem 2Let $I = [a,b]$ and $f_n : I to mathbbR$ a sequence of differentiable functions such that the sequence of derivatives $(f_n')_n$ converges uniformly to a function $g : I to mathbbR$. Also $exists x_0 in I$ such that the sequence $(f_n(x_0))_n$ converges. Then $(f_n)_n$ converges uniformly to a differentiable function $f : I to mathbbR$ with $f' = g$.




I understand that I could treat $F_k=sum_n=1^inftyf_n(x)$, since $dfracsum_n=1^inftyf_n(x)dx=sum_n=1^inftyfracdf_n(x)dx$. However I am looking for a proof for Theorem 1.



Question:



Could someone help me prove Theorem 1?



Thanks in advance!

I shall assume that each $f_n'$ is Riemann integrable, in which case $g$ is Riemann integrable too. Note that, for each $xin[a,b]$,$$f_n(x)=f_n(x_0)+g_n(x)-f_n(x_0)=f_n(x_0)+int_x_0^xf_n'(t),mathrm dt.$$So, define$$f(x)=lim_ntoinftyf_n(x_0)+int_x_0^xg(t),mathrm dt$$and thenbeginalignbigl|f(x)-f_n(x)bigr|&leqslantleft|f(x_0)-lim_ntoinftyf_n(x_0)right|+left|int_x_0^xg(t)-f_n(t),mathrm dtright|\&leqslantleft|f(x_0)-lim_ntoinftyf_n(x_0)right|+int_x_0^xbigl|g(t)-f_n'(t)bigr|,mathrm dt.endalignSo, $(f_n)_ninmathbb N$ converges uniformly to $f$.

      This is Theorem 7.17 of Rudin's Principles of mathematical analysis. The statement and proof occupy pages 152-153 of the text.



      The result and its proof also appear as Theorem 13.8 of my honors calculus notes. Notice that just before discussing this result, I state and prove a similar result but with slightly stronger hypotheses: instead of differentiable I assume that the functions are continuously differentiable (and thus the derivative is Riemann integrable). The point is that this allows an easier argument using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus -- the same one that appears in the answer of José Carlos Santos.
