Then by the properties of the infimum, there exists \(x_K\) such that \(w\leq x_K \lt w+\varepsilon\). We will learn that monotonic sequences are sequences which constantly increase or constantly decrease. Other notations for sequences are \((x_n)\) or \(\\) and let \(\varepsilon \gt 0\) be arbitrary. Informally, the sequence \(X\) can be written as an infinite list of real numbers as \(X=(x_1,x_2,x_3,\ldots)\), where \(x_n=X(n)\). For this reason, the study of sequences will occupy us for the next foreseeable future.Ī sequence of real numbers is a function \(X:\N\rightarrow\real\). Almost everything that can be said in analysis can be, and is, done using sequences. Demonstrating Convergence.In the tool box used to build analysis, if the Completeness property of the real numbers is the hammer then sequences are the nails. If a sequence is strictly increasing, or increasing, or strictly decreasing, or decreasing for all, it is said to be monotonic. Since convergence depends only on what happens as \(n\) gets large, adding a few terms at the beginning can't turn a convergent sequence into a divergent one. But starting with the term \(3/4\) it is increasing, so the theorem tells us that the sequence \(3/4, 7/8, 15/16, 31/32,\ldots\) converges. If and are bounded sequences in, the sequences and are also bounded.
