    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.

    () (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 !

    x 0 can be any arbitrary real number. Sums. In general, any infinite series is the limit of its partial sums. For example, an analytic function is the limit of its ...

    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}.

    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 ...

    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 ...

  8. Limit of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_function

    Let f : X → Y be a mapping from a topological space X into a Hausdorff space Y, p ∈ X a limit point of X and L ∈ Y. The sequential limit of f as x tends to p is L if For every sequence (x n) in X − {p} that converges to p, the sequence f(x n) converges to L.

  9. Fatou's lemma - Wikipedia

    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).
