We p p p n provepthat fan g is decreasing Since + an < + an and we know that an is decreasing, we see that the whole sequence is decreasing Also, square roots must be greater than 0, so the sequence is bounded Thus, the sequence is bounded below and decreasing and is thus convergent 41 Let fxng1n=1 be a bounded sequence and let E be the set of subsequential limits of that sequence By Exercise 36, E is nonempty Prove that E is bounded and contains both sup E and inf E Since fxng is bounded (by M), its limit points must be such that they are within distance of some sequence values Thus, limit points must be within the same bounds as fxng or within distance of the boundary for any Thus, E is bounded (by, say M + 1) We must ensure that members of E not form a sequence themselves that converges to a non-limit point So, suppose there is a sequence feng of limit points Then, for every , there is an N such that CHAPTER SEQUENCES 21 jen xnj < for all n > N Thus, xn ! en Thus, all sequences of E converge in E (since they are estimated by subsequences of fxng Thus, sup E; inf E E 42 Let fxng1n=1 be any sequence and T : N ! N be any 1-1 function Prove that if fxng1n=1 converges to x, then fxT (n)g1n=1 also converges to x Explain how this relates to subsequences De ne what one might call a \rearrangement" of a sequence What does the result imply about rearrangements of sequences? We see that fxT (n)g = fxn1 ; xn2 ; :::g and is a subsequence of fx ng Since all subsequences converge, we must have x T (n) ! x Let T : N ! N be any 1-1 function and let fxng be a sequence Then, fxT (n)g is called a rearrangement The result implies that if fxng converges, then so does fxT (n)g for any T 1=n 43 Assume a b Does the sequence f(an + bn) g n=1 converge or diverge? If the sequence converges, nd the limit The sequence does not converge in general For instance, if a = and b = 1=n 1, then the sequence becomes f[1n + ( 1)n] g Taking even indexes, the limit is 1, and taking odd indexes, the limit is Thus, not all subsequences converge to the same limit point, so the sequence is not convergent 44 Does the sequence P (k p ) k2 + n n=1 k=1 X diverge or converge? If the sequence converges, nd the limit We see that =p p n=1 k n=1 k p 1 ! k +k P P Squeeze Theorem (established in Exercise 9) 2+k k k 1 < = k = Also, > n=1 k n=1 p k +n Thus, the sequence must converge to by the 2 k +n P *45 Show that if x is any real number, there is a sequence of rational numbers converging to x Let a0:a1a2 be the decimal expansion for x Then, de ne xn = a0:a1a2 an Then, xn Q for all n and xn ! x (for there exists an N for which xn can be within 10k distance for any integer k and n > N) *46 Show that if x is any real number, there is a sequence of irrational numbers converging to x If x is already irrational, de ne xn x Clearly, xn ! x If x is rational, de ne xn = x + n Then, xn R n Q for all n and xn ! x CHAPTER SEQUENCES 22 47 Suppose that fang1n=1 converges to A and that B is an accumulation point of fan : n Ng Prove that A = B 1 If B is an accumulation point, then B n ; B + n contains a member of fang for all n Thus, one can construct a subsequence of these members that converges to B, and since fang is convergent, we must have A = B Miscellaneous 48 Suppose that fang1n=1 and fbng1n=1 are two sequences of positive real numbers We say that an is O(bn) (read as \big oh" of bn) if there is an integer N and a real number M such that for n N, an M bn Prove that if fan=bng1n=1 converges to L 6= 0, then an is O(bn) and bn is O(an) What can you say if L = 0? Illustrate with examples Since an=bn ! L, we guess that there is an N such that an (L + 1) bn for all n N We now prove this assertion First, for any > 0, there is an N for which an=bn (L ; L + ) for all n N Thus, for the same N, an (bn[L ]; bn[L + ]) Thus, an bn(L + 1) Thus, an is O(bn) if N is chosen to correspond to = Similarly, bn is O(an) a and b g is bounded or b and a is f n n!1 If L = 0, then either n ! f ng bounded For instance, n3 ! and 2+1=n = (This result is called the Limit Comparison Test n 1=n
