Smoothness of series #
We show that series of functions are continuous, or differentiable, or smooth, when each individual function in the series is and additionally suitable uniform summable bounds are satisfied.
More specifically,
continuous_tsum
ensures that a series of continuous functions is continuous.differentiable_tsum
ensures that a series of differentiable functions is differentiable.contDiff_tsum
ensures that a series of smooth functions is smooth.
We also give versions of these statements which are localized to a set.
Continuity #

Differentiability #
Consider a series of functions ∑' n, f n x
on a preconnected open set. If the series converges
at a point, and all functions in the series are differentiable with a summable bound on the
derivatives, then the series converges everywhere on the set.

with a summable bound on the derivatives, then the series is differentiable.
Note that our assumptions do not ensure the pointwise convergence, but if there is no pointwise
convergence then the series is zero everywhere so the result still holds.
