Real Analysis: Limit Superior and Bolzano Weierstrass
Prove the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem: Every bounded sequence has a convergent subsequence.
Consider whether the converse of the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem is true: If a sequence has a convergent subsequence, then it is bounded. Give an example of an unbounded sequence that has a convergent subsequence.
Prove that if a sequence is convergent, meaning it has a limit, then the lim sup of the sequence is equal to its limit.
Let the sequence be this sequence that repeats in a pattern of and so on. What is the limit superior of this sequence?
Consider the sequence which approaches 3 with its odd terms and approaches 1 from above with its even terms. What is the limit superior of this sequence?
For the sequence whose nth term is , what are the limit superior and limit inferior of the sequence?
Let be the sequence . What are the limit superior and limit inferior of this sequence?
For a sequence , determine the limit superior and limit inferior.
