Convergence in the topology of $L^2_text{loc}$ implies convergence in $B^2$?












1












$begingroup$


Let $f_n$ be a sequence of functions in $L^2_text{loc}(mathbb{R})$ which converge to a function $fin L^2_text{loc}(mathbb{R})$ in the topology of $L^2_text{loc}(mathbb{R})$, i.e., $f_nto f$ in $L^2(K)$ for all compact subsets $Ksubsetmathbb{R}$.



A function is said to be Besicovitch almost periodic if it is the limit of trigonometrical polynomials in the seminorm $|f|_2=left(lim_{Ttoinfty}frac{1}{2T}int_{-T}^T|f(x)|^2dyright)^{1/2}$. Clearly, all Besicovitch almost periodic functions are locally square integrable.



Assuming that $f_n,f$ are Besicovitch almost periodic, can we also conclude that $f_nto f$ in the seminorm of almost periodic functions, i.e, $|f_n-f|_2to 0$?

          No, convergence in $L_{loc}^2(mathbb{R})$ does not imply convergence in the seminorm. Consider
          $$ f_n(x) = sinleft( frac{2pi x}{n} right) $$
          Clearly $f_n$ is Besicovitch almost periodic. Furthermore, it converges locally uniformly to the zero function and hence it converges in $L_{loc}^2(mathbb{R})$ to the zero function (which of course is Besicovitch almost periodic itself). However, we do not have convergence in the seminorm as (now we use that $f_n$ is $n$-periodic)
          $$ vert f_n - 0 vert_2^2 = frac{1}{2n} int_{-n}^{n} vert f_n(x) vert^2 dx = frac{1}{2} int_{-1}^{1} vert sin(2pi y) vert^2 dy =1. $$
