Modes of Convergence of Sequences of Holomorphic Functions: A Linear Point of View

Abstract In this paper, pointwise convergence, uniform convergence and compact convergence of sequences of holomorphic functions on an open subset of the complex plane are compared from a linear point of view. In fact, it is proved the existence of large linear algebras consisting, except for zero, of sequences of holomorphic functions tending to zero compactly but not uniformly on the open set or of sequences of holomorphic functions tending pointwisely to zero but not compactly. Also dense linear subspaces in an appropriate Fréchet space as well as infinite dimensional Banach spaces of sequences converging to zero in the mentioned modes are shown to exist.
