    lim inf X n consists of elements of X which belong to X n for all except finitely many n (i.e., for cofinitely many n). That is, xlim inf X n if and only if there exists some m > 0 such that xX n for all n > m. Observe that xlim sup X n if and only if xlim inf X n c.

    If is expressed in radians: ⁡ = ⁡ ⁡ = ⁡ These limits both follow from the continuity of sin and cos. ⁡ =. [7] [8] Or, in general, ⁡ =, for a not equal to 0. ⁡ = ⁡ =, for b not equal to 0.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-theoretic_limit

    In mathematics, the limit of a sequence of sets,, … (subsets of a common set ) is a set whose elements are determined by the sequence in either of two equivalent ways: (1) by upper and lower bounds on the sequence that converge monotonically to the same set (analogous to convergence of real-valued sequences) and (2) by convergence of a sequence of indicator functions which are themselves ...

  5. Infimum and supremum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infimum_and_supremum

    The supremum (abbreviated sup; pl.: suprema) of a subset of a partially ordered set is the least element in that is greater than or equal to each element of , if such an element exists. [1] If the supremum of S {\displaystyle S} exists, it is unique, and if b is an upper bound of S {\displaystyle S} , then the supremum of S {\displaystyle S} is ...

    On one hand, the limit as n approaches infinity of a sequence {a n} is simply the limit at infinity of a function a(n) —defined on the natural numbers {n}. On the other hand, if X is the domain of a function f(x) and if the limit as n approaches infinity of f(x n) is L for every arbitrary sequence of points {x n} in Xx 0 which converges ...

    The plot of a convergent sequence {a n} is shown in blue. Here, one can see that the sequence is converging to the limit 0 as n increases. In the real numbers , a number L {\displaystyle L} is the limit of the sequence ( x n ) {\displaystyle (x_{n})} , if the numbers in the sequence become closer and closer to L {\displaystyle L} , and not to ...

  8. Monotone convergence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotone_convergence_theorem

    In other words, it is enough that there is a null set such that the sequence {()} non-decreases for every . To see why this is true, we start with an observation that allowing the sequence { f n } {\displaystyle \{f_{n}\}} to pointwise non-decrease almost everywhere causes its pointwise limit f {\displaystyle f} to be undefined on some null set ...

    () (using x ≥ 0 to obtain the final inequality) so that: = One must use lim sup because it is not known if t n converges. For the other inequality, by the above expression for t n , if 2 ≤ m ≤ n , we have: 1 + x + x 2 2 !
