Abstract

A new type of convergence (called uniformly pointwise convergence) for a sequence of scalar valued functions is introduced. If (fn) is a uniformly bounded sequence of functions in l(Γ), it is proved that:

(i) (fn) converges uniformly pointwise on Γ to some function f if, and only if, every subsequence of (fn) is Cesaro summable in l(Γ); and

(ii) there exists a subsequence (fn) of (fn) such that either (fn) converges uniformly pointwise on Γ to some f or no subsequence of (fn) is Cesaro-summable in l(Γ).

Applications of the above results in Banach space theory are given.
