Locally uniform convergence #
We define a sequence of functions Fₙ to converge locally uniformly to a limiting function f
with respect to a filter p, spelled TendstoLocallyUniformly F f p, if for any x ∈ s and any
entourage of the diagonal u, there is a neighbourhood v of x such that p-eventually we have
(f y, Fₙ y) ∈ u for all y ∈ v.
It is important to note that this definition is somewhat non-standard; it is not in general
equivalent to "every point has a neighborhood on which the convergence is uniform", which is the
definition more commonly encountered in the literature. The reason is that in our definition the
neighborhood v of x can depend on the entourage u; so our condition is a priori weaker than
the usual one, although the two conditions are equivalent if the domain is locally compact. See
tendstoLocallyUniformlyOn_of_forall_exists_nhds for the one-way implication; the equivalence
assuming local compactness is part of tendstoLocallyUniformlyOn_TFAE.
We adopt this weaker condition because it is more general but appears to be sufficient for the standard applications of locally-uniform convergence (in particular, for proving that a locally-uniform limit of continuous functions is continuous).
We also define variants for locally uniform convergence on a subset, called
TendstoLocallyUniformlyOn F f p s.

Uniform limit, uniform convergence, tends uniformly to
A sequence of functions Fₙ converges locally uniformly on a set s to a limiting function
f with respect to a filter p if, for any entourage of the diagonal u, for any x ∈ s, one
has p-eventually (f y, Fₙ y) ∈ u for all y in a neighborhood of x in s.
Equations
- TendstoLocallyUniformlyOn F f p s = ∀ u ∈ uniformity β, ∀ x ∈ s, ∃ t ∈ nhdsWithin x s, ∀ᶠ (n : ι) in p, ∀ y ∈ t, (f y, F n y) ∈ u

On a compact space, locally uniform convergence is just uniform convergence.
For a compact set s, locally uniform convergence on s is just uniform convergence on s.
If every x ∈ s has a neighbourhood within s on which F i tends uniformly to f, then
F i tends locally uniformly on s to f.
Note this is not a tautology, since our definition of TendstoLocallyUniformlyOn is slightly
more general (although the conditions are equivalent if β is locally compact and s is open,
see tendstoLocallyUniformlyOn_TFAE).
