Direct Proof of a Stated Identity or Equality
View
We denote $\mathcal{I} = \{(j, k) \in \mathbf{N}^{2} \mid j \in \mathbf{N} \text{ and } 0 \leq k < 2^{j}\}$; for $j \in \mathbf{N}$, $\mathcal{T}_{j} = \{k \in \mathbf{N} \mid 0 \leq k < 2^{j}\}$. Let $a_{j,k}$ be a family of real numbers indexed by $(j, k) \in \mathcal{I}$. We denote $b_{j} = \max_{k \in \mathcal{T}_{j}} |a_{j,k}|$, and we suppose that the series $\sum b_{j}$ is convergent.
For all $j \in \mathbf{N}$, let $f_{j}^{a}$ be the function defined by $$f_{j}^{a}(x) = \sum_{k \in \mathcal{T}_{j}} a_{j,k} \theta_{j,k}(x)$$ Show that the series $\sum f_{j}^{a}$ is uniformly convergent on $[0,1]$ towards a function denoted $f^{a}$, which belongs to $\mathcal{C}_{0}$ and which satisfies, for all $(j, k) \in \mathcal{I}$, $c_{j,k}(f^{a}) = a_{j,k}$.
