Tannery's theorem

Tannery's theorem gives a sufficient criterion for the limit of an infinite sum (with respect to an auxiliary parameter) to equal the sum of the pointwise limits. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannery%27s_theorem. It is a special case of the dominated convergence theorem (with the measure chosen to be the counting measure); but we give here a direct proof, in order to avoid some unnecessary hypotheses that appear when specialising the general measure-theoretic result.

Tannery's theorem: topological sums commute with termwise limits, when the norms of the summands are uniformly bounded by a summable function.

(This is the special case of the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem for the counting measure on a discrete set. However, we prove it under somewhat weaker assumptions than the general measure-theoretic result, e.g. G is not assumed to be an ℝ-vector space or second countable, and the limit is along an arbitrary filter rather than atTop ℕ.)
