Dini's Theorem #
This file proves Dini's theorem, which states that if F n is a monotone increasing sequence of
continuous real-valued functions on a compact set s converging pointwise to a continuous function
f, then F n converges uniformly to f.
We generalize the codomain from ℝ to a normed lattice additive commutative group G.
This theorem is true in a different generality as well: when G is a linearly ordered topological
group with the order topology. This weakens the norm assumption, in exchange for strengthening to
a linear order. This separate generality is not included in this file, but that generality was
included in initial drafts of the original
PR #19068 and can be recovered if
necessary.
The key idea of the proof is to use a particular basis of 𝓝 0 which consists of open sets that
are somehow monotone in the sense that if s is in the basis, and 0 ≤ x ≤ y, then
y ∈ s → x ∈ s, and so the proof would work on any topological ordered group possessing
such a basis. In the case of a linearly ordered topological group with the order topology, this
basis is nhds_basis_Ioo. In the case of a normed lattice additive commutative group, this basis
is nhds_basis_ball, and the fact that this basis satisfies the monotonicity criterion
corresponds to HasSolidNorm.
