On uniform boundedness

Dear professors,

I have some trouble with an exercise in a functional-analysis book.

The exercise seems to be about the Arzela-Ascoli theorem.

Let H^s(D) be the s-Sobolev space with s > n/2 and
S is a subset of H^s(D) such that

sup_{f in S} |f|_{s} =< M < +oo, (1)

where | |_{s} is defined by

|f|_{s}^{2} = int_{D} |f(x)|^{2} (1 + |x|^{2})^(s) dx.

(D is a subset of R^n)

The problem seems to make me derive the uniform boundedness of
some set of bounded continuous functions under the norm
| |_{oo} from (1) above.

I have thought about this for four days, but without success.

Of course, there seem to be many examples such that both of

lim_{f in S} |f|_{oo} =< M

and (1) are satisfied. And so, I have been very confused!

Any hint/help would be extremely welcome.

Benjamin
