Chaundy and Jolliffe proved that if {ck}k=1∞ is a nonincreasing real sequence with limk→∞ck=0, then the series ∑k=1∞‍cksin⁡kx converges uniformly if and only if kck→0. The purpose of this paper is to show that kck→0 is a necessary and sufficient condition for the uniform convergence of series ∑k=1∞‍cksin⁡kθ in θ∈[0,π]. However for ∑k=1∞‍cksin⁡k2θ it is not true in θ∈[0,π].

§ 1. THE usual method of proving that a function defined as the limit of a sequence of continuous functions is continuous is by proving that the convergence is uniform. This method may fail owing to the presence of points at which the convergence is non-uniform although the limiting function is continuous. In such a case it would be necessary to apply a further test, e.g. that of Arzelà (“uniform convergence by segments”).In some cases the continuity may be proved directly by means of a totally different principle, without reference to modes of convergence at all. It is, in fact, a necessary and sufficient condition for the continuity of a function that it should be possible to express it at the same time as the limit of a monotone ascending and of a monotone descending sequence of continuous functions.

Let (X, p) and (Y, d) be metric spaces with at least two points. It is usual for introductory courses in topology to study the set Yx of all functions mapping X to Y with the pointwise, compact-open, uniform convergence, and uniform convergence on compacta topologies. Some care is taken to show sufficient conditions for these topologies to be equivalent [1, 2]. However, the question of necessary conditions are dismissed with examples showing that the topologies are not in general equivalent.

AbstractIt is shown that a Tychonoff space X is pseudocompact if and only if for every metrizable space Y, all uniformities on Y induce the same topology on the space of continuous functions from X into Y. Also for certain pairs of spaces X and Y, a necessary and sufficient condition is established in order that all uniformities on Y induce the same topology on the space of continuous functions from X into Y.

This paper introduces an auditor reliability framework that repositions the role of auditor independence in the accounting profession. The framework is motivated in part by widespread confusion about independence and the auditing profession's continuing problems with managing independence and inspiring public confidence. We use philosophical, theoretical, and professional arguments to argue that the public interest will be best served by reprioritizing professional and ethical objectives to establish reliability in fact and appearance as the cornerstone of the profession, rather than relationship-based independence in fact and appearance. This revised framework requires three foundation elements to control subjectivity in auditors' judgments and decisions: independence, integrity, and expertise. Each element is a necessary but not sufficient condition for maximizing objectivity. Objectivity, in turn, is a necessary and sufficient condition for achieving and maintaining reliability in fact and appearance.

The Kantian account of political authority holds that the state is a necessary and sufficient condition of our freedom. We cannot be free outside the state, Kantians argue, because any attempt to have the “acquired rights” necessary for our freedom implicates us in objectionable relations of dependence on private judgment. Only in the state can this problem be overcome. But it is not clear how mere institutions could make the necessary difference, and contemporary Kantians have not offered compelling explanations. A detailed analysis is presented of the problems Kantians identify with the state of nature and the objections they face in claiming that the state overcomes them. A response is sketched on behalf of Kantians. The key idea is that under state institutions, a person can make claims of acquired right without presupposing that she is by nature exceptional in her capacity to bind others.

In this paper, Lorentz boosts and Wigner rotations are considered from a (complexified) quaternionic point of view. It is demonstrated that, for a suitably defined self-adjoint complex quaternionic 4-velocity, pure Lorentz boosts can be phrased in terms of the quaternion square root of the relative 4-velocity connecting the two inertial frames. Straightforward computations then lead to quite explicit and relatively simple algebraic formulae for the composition of 4-velocities and the Wigner angle. The Wigner rotation is subsequently related to the generic non-associativity of the composition of three 4-velocities, and a necessary and sufficient condition is developed for the associativity to hold. Finally, the authors relate the composition of 4-velocities to a specific implementation of the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff theorem. As compared to ordinary 4×4 Lorentz transformations, the use of self-adjoint complexified quaternions leads, from a computational view, to storage savings and more rapid computations, and from a pedagogical view to to relatively simple and explicit formulae.
