Instructions. Masters students: Do any 5 problems. Ph.D. students: Do any 6 problems.

Let $E$ be a normed linear space. Show that $E$ is complete if and only if, whenever $\sum_1^\infty |x_n | < \infty$ , then $\sum_1^\infty x_n$ converges to an $s\in E$ .
Let $f_n$ be a sequence of real continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space $X$ . Show that if $f_1 \geq f_2 \geq f_3 \geq \cdots$ , and $f_n(x) \rightarrow 0$ for all $x\in X$ , then $f_n \rightarrow 0$ uniformly.
Let $f$ be integrable on the real line with respect to Lebesgue measure. Evaluate $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x-n) \left(\frac{x}{1+|x|}\right)\ dx.$ Justify all steps.
