Ways of checking pointwise convergence

According to the definition of pointwise convergence:
A sequence $f_m(x)$ of real valued functions defined on D a subset of real numbers
is said to be pointwise convergent to$f(d)$ at a point $depsilon D$ if for all $epsilon$>0 there exists a $m_0$ such that $|f_m(d)-f(d)|$<$epsilon$ for all $m>m_0$



to check pointwise convergence a given interval for a given function , do we need to do all this work above? or we can simply find the $lim mto$infinity for the function $f_m(x)$ and if it exists then say that the function is pointwise convergent?

    It's the same thing. If you find $lim_{m to infty} f_m(d) = f(d)$ for all $d$ and write down the formal definition of limit, you'll just get what's in your first paragraph.
