Understanding proof of completeness of $L^{\infty}$ [closed]

I'm reading page number 4 here. In particular the section where it deals with the case $p=\infty$, that is , showing that $L^{\infty}$ is complete.

Two questions:

1) Why is the convergence uniform? where it says "for $x \in N^{c}$ , $f_{n}$ is a Cauchy sequence of complex numbers. Thus $f_{n} \rightarrow f$ uniformly. Clearly we have pointwise convergence but why is it uniform?

2) I don't see why $||f_{n} - f||_{\infty} \rightarrow 0$. Can you please explain this step?

Thanks.

(3/2015) Edit: The original link appears to be broken. This document seems to provide a similar (maybe even identical) proof to the one the OP talks about with slight notational differences.


The key is that we are working in $N^c$, where we have, morally speaking, defined $N$ to be the set of points where things go wrong. In detail, $N$ is the set of points $x$ where either 1) $f(x)$ is bigger than the limsup $\|f\|$, or 2) the series $(f_n)$ is not Cauchy at $x$.

Outside of $N$, the terms $f_n$ are bounded and the series $(f_n)$ is Cauchy.

For question 1), use the fact that $(f_n)$ is (uniformely!) Cauchy outside of $N$ and that $\mathbb C$ is complete to define a limit function $f$ on the set $N^c$. It should follow, pretty much by definition of $f$, that $f_n \to f$ uniformely on $N^c$.

For question 2), then we know from question 1 that $\|f_n - f\|_\infty \to 0$ on $N^c$. Next, extend the limit function $f$ to the whole set by setting it equal to 0 on $N$. What is the measure of $N$? How does that play into the definition of the $\| \cdot \|_\infty$ norm, and thus the question about limits?
