Extract

Ryll-Nardzewski has proposed the following problem (New Scottish Book, no. 119). If fn(x) are continuous, differentiable* functions in a closed finite interval, do there always exist constants cn (no cn = 0) (depending on the ), such that converges and is also a continuous differentiable function?
