Anti M-Weierstrass function sequences

Calderón Moreno, María del Carmen; Gerlach Mena, Pablo José; Prado Bassas, José Antonio

Abstract

Large algebraic structures are found inside the space of sequences of continuous functions on a compact interval having the property that, the series defined by each sequence converges absolutely and uniformly on the interval but the series of the upper bounds diverges. So showing that there exist many examples satisfying the conclusion but not the hypothesis of the Weierstrass M-test.
