A new type of convergence (called uniformly pointwise convergence) for a sequence of scalar valued functions is introduced. If (fn) is a uniformly bounded sequence of functions in l∞(Γ), it is proved that:
(i) (fn) converges uniformly pointwise on Γ to some function f if, and only if, every subsequence of (fn) is Cesaro summable in l∞(Γ); and
(ii) there exists a subsequence (f′n) of (fn) such that either (f′n) converges uniformly pointwise on Γ to some f or no subsequence of (f′n) is Cesaro-summable in l∞(Γ).
Applications of the above results in Banach space theory are given.
