Is there a necessary and sufficient condition so that the arc length of a convergent sequence of functions converges to the arc length of the limit of the function?
I know that if $f'_n$ is continuously differentiable on the interval $[a,b]$ and $f$ converges for one $x \in [a,b]$. If $f'_n$ converges uniformly, then $f'_n$ converges to $f'$.
So for a normal Cartesian coordinate system the arc length is $\int\sqrt{1+(f')^{2}}$ $dx$ and we have that $f'_n$ converges uniformly to $f'$ and if the arc length of $f_n$ is exists for all $n$ and the arc length of $f$ exists, then the arc length of $f_n$ converges to $f$.
But, I know that its possible for a convergent sequence of piecewise differentiable functions $f_n$ still have it's arc length converges to $f$ when $f_n$ converges to $f$.
So does there exist some kind of most weak condition that gives the arc length of a convergent sequence of functions converges to the arc length of the limit and does there exists a converse condition that will give an if and only if statement?
