Hi!
I am having trouble interpreting the notation on this question, question 4. b

What does lim sup n mean in this context?
I also do not quite understand the max norm, is it supposed to be sup(f_n(x)) and not sup(f(x))? Because if it is correctly written, isn't it just a fix value for all n?

You're right that it should be ||f_n||_\infty = \sup_{x\in [0,1]} |f_n(x)|. Definition 3.16 in Rudin defines \limsup, it doesn't have any different meaning in this context.
