Show there exists a sequence $\{f_n\}$ in the Schwartz space $S(\mathbb R)$ with limit $f$ for which $ \lim \|f_n\|_{u,v} \text{ induced that } f \not\in S(\mathbb R) \text{ for some } u,v. $ But $ \lim \|f_n\|_{a,b} \text{ does not converges when } a \ne u,b\ne v. $
Use the standard norm on $S(\mathbb R)$ $ \|f\|_{a,b}= \sup_{x \in \mathbb R} |x^af^{(b)}(x)| ,\, a,b \in \mathbb Z_+. $

This post shows $\sqrt{f(x)}$ does not belongs to $S(\mathbb R)$ when $f(x)=e^{-x^2} \left(e^{-x^2}+\sin ^2(x)\right)$.
I guess one way is to make $\|f_n\|_{u,v}$ unbounded, while keeping the other derivative bounded.
But I don't see how to do that.

    @joriki I meant that $\lim \|f_n\|_{u,v}$ breaks the rule for $f$ to be $S$, that is $\lim \|f\|_{u,v}=\infty$. I think the question highlight the completeness of $S$, with respect to its topology. As $\lim \|f\|_{u,v}=\infty$ should implies that $\{f_n\} \subset S$ does not converges in $S$. Whence, the other limits, $\lim\|f_n\|_{a,b}$, should not exist.2012-11-06
