Lim sup

One possibility is to try and extract a convergent subsequence, lim sup, as described in the last section. In particular, Lim sup theorem can be useful in case the original sequence was bounded. However, we often would like to discuss the limit of a sequence without having to spend much time on investigating convergence, or thinking about which subsequence to extract.

As is the case with sequences of other objects, convergence is not necessary or even usual. More generally, again analogous to real-valued sequences, the less restrictive limit infimum and limit supremum of a set sequence always exist and can be used to determine convergence: the limit exists if the limit infimum and limit supremum are identical. See below. Such set limits are essential in measure theory and probability. This article is restricted to that situation as it is the only one relevant for measure theory and probability.

Lim sup

In mathematics , the limit inferior and limit superior of a sequence can be thought of as limiting that is, eventual and extreme bounds on the sequence. They can be thought of in a similar fashion for a function see limit of a function. For a set , they are the infimum and supremum of the set's limit points , respectively. In general, when there are multiple objects around which a sequence, function, or set accumulates, the inferior and superior limits extract the smallest and largest of them; the type of object and the measure of size is context-dependent, but the notion of extreme limits is invariant. Limit inferior is also called infimum limit , limit infimum , liminf , inferior limit , lower limit , or inner limit ; limit superior is also known as supremum limit , limit supremum , limsup , superior limit , upper limit , or outer limit. More generally, these definitions make sense in any partially ordered set , provided the suprema and infima exist, such as in a complete lattice. Whenever the ordinary limit exists, the limit inferior and limit superior are both equal to it; therefore, each can be considered a generalization of the ordinary limit which is primarily interesting in cases where the limit does not exist. The limits inferior and superior are related to big-O notation in that they bound a sequence only "in the limit"; the sequence may exceed the bound. The only promise made is that some tail of the sequence can be bounded above by the limit superior plus an arbitrarily small positive constant, and bounded below by the limit inferior minus an arbitrarily small positive constant. The limit superior and limit inferior of a sequence are a special case of those of a function see below. In mathematical analysis , limit superior and limit inferior are important tools for studying sequences of real numbers. Assume that the limit superior and limit inferior are real numbers so, not infinite. Assume that a function is defined from a subset of the real numbers to the real numbers. The difference between the two is a rough measure of how "wildly" the function oscillates, and in observation of this fact, it is called the oscillation of f at 0. This idea of oscillation is sufficient to, for example, characterize Riemann-integrable functions as continuous except on a set of measure zero.

See the examples below. On the other hand, there are more general topological notions of set convergence that do involve accumulation points under different metrics or topologies. The two equivalent definitions are as follows. To see the equivalence of the definitions, consider the limit infimum. The use of De Morgan's law below explains why this suffices for the limit supremum.

If you try to guess the answer quickly, you might get confused between an ordinary supremum and the lim sup , or the regular infimum and the lim inf. Moreover, it has to be a complete lattice so that the suprema and infima always exist. Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. Take X , E and a as before, but now let X be a topological space. This article needs additional citations for verification. Read Edit View history.

You can pre-order the LP here. Regarding Rammstein, the German metallers have expanded their European stadium tour, with additional dates consisting of concerts in previously announced cities, besides some new locations.

New York: McGraw-Hill. Similarly, B j picks the smallest upper bound of the truncated sequences, and hence tends to the greatest possible limit of any convergent subsequence. In this sense, the sequence has a limit so long as every point in X either appears in all except finitely many X n or appears in all except finitely many X n c. Article Talk.

The only promise made is that some tail of the sequence can be bounded above by the limit superior plus an arbitrarily small positive constant, and bounded below by the limit inferior minus an arbitrarily small positive constant.
