www.u.arizona.eduknow that the sequences in question actually do converge. For that you might want to use the Monotone Convergence Theorem. Sequences de ned recursively, like the sequence in the above exercise, are important in economics. We’ll see sequences like this later in this course when we study xed point theorems and their
Proof.
math.montana.edu2.1.2(k) The sequence a n = (1 if n is odd 1/n if n is even diverges. Proof. Assume not. Then the sequence converges to some limit A ∈ R. By definition of convergence (with = 1/4) ... We know that monotone bounded sequences converge, so there exists some limit A ∈ R. We can pass to the limit in the recursive equation to get
Series - math.ucdavis.edu
www.math.ucdavis.eduA condition for the convergence of series with positive terms follows immedi-ately from the condition for the convergence of monotone sequences. Proposition 4.6. A series P a nwith positive terms a n 0 converges if and only if its partial sums Xn k=1 a k M are bounded from above, otherwise it diverges to 1. Proof. The partial sums S n= P n k=1 a
2 Sequences: Convergence and Divergence
www.math.uh.eduSep 23, 2016 · Sequences: Convergence and Divergence In Section 2.1, we consider (infinite) sequences, limits of sequences, and bounded and monotonic sequences of real numbers. In addition to certain basic properties of convergent sequences, we also study divergent sequences and in particular, sequences that tend to positive or negative infinity. We

www.math.uh.eduPART II. SEQUENCES OF REAL NUMBERS II.1. CONVERGENCE Definition 1. A sequence is a real-valued function f whose domain is the set positive integers (N).The numbers f(1),f(2), ··· are called the terms of the sequence. Notation Function notation vs subscript notation: f(1) ≡ s1,f(2) ≡ s2,···,f(n) ≡ sn, ···. In discussing sequences the subscript notationis much more common than ...

A sequence (a n) is called increasing if a n a n+1 for all n2N and decreasing if a n a n+1 for all n2N:A sequence is said to be monotone if it is either increasing or decreasing.

We say that a property about real numbers xholds almost everywhere (with respect to Lebesgue measure ) if the set of xwhere it fails to be true has measure 0. Proposition 4.2.2.
Sequences - math.ucdavis.edu
www.math.ucdavis.eduSequences In this chapter, we discuss sequences. We say what it means for a sequence to converge, and de ne the limit of a convergent sequence. We begin with some preliminary results about the absolute value, which can be used to de ne a distance function, or metric, on R. In turn, convergence is de ned in terms of this metric. 3.1. The ...
