Question Number 1462 by 123456 last updated on 07/Aug/15
can a function f_n :R→R be such that  Σ_(n=0) ^(+∞) f_n (x) converge for x∈Q and diverge  for x∈R\Q?
$$\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{function}\:{f}_{{n}} :\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\:\mathrm{be}\:\mathrm{such}\:\mathrm{that} \\ $$$$\underset{{n}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{+\infty} {\sum}}{f}_{{n}} \left({x}\right)\:\mathrm{converge}\:\mathrm{for}\:{x}\in\mathbb{Q}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{diverge} \\ $$$$\mathrm{for}\:{x}\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\mathbb{Q}? \\ $$

The generic nature of this question allows  for direct examples such as  f_n (x)= { ((g_n (x)),(x∈Q)),((h_n (x)),(x∈R\Q)) :}

what if f_n  have to be continuous?
