  2. Limit inferior and limit superior - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematical analysis, limit superior and limit inferior are important tools for studying sequences of real numbers.Since the supremum and infimum of an unbounded set of real numbers may not exist (the reals are not a complete lattice), it is convenient to consider sequences in the affinely extended real number system: we add the positive and negative infinities to the real line to give the ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Limit (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(mathematics)

    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 ...

  6. 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 !

  8. List of districts of Vietnam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_districts_of_Vietnam

    The provinces of Vietnam are subdivided into second-level administrative units, namely districts (Vietnamese: huyện), provincial cities (thành phố trực thuộc tỉnh), and district-level towns (thị xã).

  9. Matrix norm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_norm

    Suppose a vector norm ‖ ‖ on and a vector norm ‖ ‖ on are given. Any matrix A induces a linear operator from to with respect to the standard basis, and one defines the corresponding induced norm or operator norm or subordinate norm on the space of all matrices as follows: ‖ ‖, = {‖ ‖: ‖ ‖} where denotes the supremum.
