Statement
Suppose that is a sequence of real- or complex-valued functions defined on a set, and that there is a sequence of positive numbers satisfying
for all and all . Suppose also that the series
is convergent.
Then the series
converges uniformly on .
Remark The result is often used in combination with the uniform limit theorem. Together they say that if, in addition to the above conditions, the set is a topological space and the functions are continuous on, then the series converges to a continuous function.

Famous quotes containing the word statement:
“Children should know there are limits to family finances or they will confuse “we can’t afford that” with “they don’t want me to have it.” The first statement is a realistic and objective assessment of a situation, while the other carries an emotional message.”
—Jean Ross Peterson (20th century)
“The honor my country shall never be stained by an apology from me for the statement of truth and the performance of duty; nor can I give any explanation of my official acts except such as is due to integrity and justice and consistent with the principles on which our institutions have been framed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
