If x = 0, then un (x) = 0 for every n and hence limn+ un (0) = 0. If x > 0, then un (x) = 0 for
every n > 2/x and hence again limn+ un (x) = 0. This establishes (2).
Step 3: we argue by contradiction and we assume that {un } has a converging subsequence.
Namely, there are subsequence {unk } and a function u C 0 ([0, 1]) such that
(3) lim kunk uk = 0.

This implies that
lim unk (x) = u(x) for every x [0, 1].
k+
Owing to (2), this implies
(4) u(x) = 0 for every x [0, 1].
On the other hand, by combining (1) and (3) we arrive at kuk = 1, which contradicts (4). This
implies that {un } does not have converging subsequences and hence concludes the proof of the
claim.
