HW 3

In this week, we finished section 10 on monotone sequence and Cauchy sequence, and also touches a bit on constructing subsequences. It is important to understand the statements of the propositions/theorems that we talked about in class, and then try to prove them yourselves, then compare with notes and textbook.

1. Let (sn)(s_n) be a bounded sequence.

  • (a) Show that lim supsnlim infsn\limsup s_n \geq \liminf s_n.
  • (b) Show that lim supsn=infNsupnNsn\limsup s_n = \inf_{N} \sup_{n \geq N} s_n.

2. Let (an),(bn)(a_n), (b_n) be two bounded sequences, show that lim sup(an+bn)lim sup(an)+lim sup(bn)\limsup (a_n + b_n) \leq \limsup(a_n) + \limsup(b_n) and give an example where the inequality is strict.

3. 10.6

4. 10.7

5. 10.8

6. 10.11

7. Let SS be the subset of (0,1)(0,1) where xSx \in S if and only if xx has a finite decimal expression 0.a1a2an0.a_1 a_2 \cdots a_n for some nn, and the last digit an=3a_n=3. Show that for any t(0,1)t \in (0,1), there is a sequence sns_n in S that converges to tt.
