  2. Limit inferior and limit superior - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_inferior_and_limit...

    lim sup X n consists of elements of X which belong to X n for infinitely many n (see countably infinite). That is, xlim sup X n if and only if there exists a subsequence (X n k) of (X n) such that xX n k for all k. 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).

    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 to x 0, then the limit of the function f(x) as x approaches x 0 is equal to L. [10] One such sequence would be {x 0 + 1/n}.

  4. List of limits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_limits

    In general, any infinite series is the limit of its partial sums. For example, an analytic function is the limit of its Taylor series, within its radius of convergence. = =. This is known as the harmonic series. [6]

  5. Set-theoretic limit - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  6. Monotone convergence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotone_convergence_theorem

    The theorem states that if you have an infinite matrix of non-negative real numbers , such that the rows are weakly increasing and each is bounded , where the bounds are summable < then, for each column, the non decreasing column sums , are bounded hence convergent, and the limit of the column sums is equal to the sum of the "limit column ...

  7. Doob's martingale convergence theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doob's_martingale...

    If for all , there are finitely many upcrossings of interval [,], then the limit inferior and limit superior of the sequence must agree, so the sequence must converge. This shows that the martingale converges with probability 1 {\displaystyle 1} .

  8. Fatou's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatou's_lemma

    This sequence converges uniformly on S to the zero function and the limit, 0, is reached in a finite number of steps: for every x ≥ 0, if n > x, then f n (x) = 0. However, every function f n has integral −1. Contrary to Fatou's lemma, this value is strictly less than the integral of the limit (0).

  9. Irrationality measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrationality_measure

    Rational numbers have irrationality exponent 1, while (as a consequence of Dirichlet's approximation theorem) every irrational number has irrationality exponent at least 2. On the other hand, an application of Borel-Cantelli lemma shows that almost all numbers, including all algebraic irrational numbers , have an irrationality exponent exactly ...
