An amusing sequence of functions

Publication date 18 February 2019

Abstract: We consider the amusing sequence of functions

f_{n} : m a t h b b R i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b R

given by

f_n(x) = sum_{k=1}^{n}{frac{|sin{(k pi x)}|}{k}}.

Every rational point is eventually the location of a strict local minimum of

f_{n}

: more precisely,

f_{n}

has a strict local minimum in all rational points

x = p / q i n m a t h b b Q

with

| q | l e q s q r t n

.
