CONVERGENCE OF SEQUENCE AND SERIES (Part -1)| REAL ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION:
All of you must read the 1st part of real analysis.If you are not then just CLICK HERE TO READ.
Though I repeat some basic knowledge about real analysis.

Real Sequence:
A real sequence is a map ∱: N ➝ R
If we write ∱(n)= xn , n ∈ N 
then it is customary to denote the sequence

∱ by (xn)n=1 or sometimes (x1 ,x2 ,x3 ,...,xn )

The set {
xn : n ∈ N } is the range of the sequence.

A sequence in R is a list or ordered set: (a1 , a2 , a3 , ... ) of real numbers.
Bounded Sequence:

The sequence 
(xn) is said to be bounded above if there exist a real number 'M' such that xn ≤ M  for all n ∈ N .

       It is said to be bounded below if there exist m
∈ R such that xn ≥ m  for all n ∈ N.

A sequence is said to be bounded if it is bounded above and below.
So, simply
(xn) is bounded if and only if there exist a constant K > 0 such that

      |xn| < K for
n ∈ N
i.e;   -K
< xn < K

Convergence:

A sequence xn  is called convergent if there exist a real number ' a ' such that for every є > 0 ,there exist n0 ∈ N  depending upon є such that for n > n0
                                         |xn - a| < є
that is,

                               a - є < xn < a+ є ,
Simply,

Definition: We say xn→∞ as n→∞ if for every M in R there is a natural number N so that xn≥ M for all nN. We say xn→−∞ as n→∞ if for every M in R there is a natural number N so that xn≤ M for all nN.

Example: 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 ,.........
This Sequence converge to a a finite point so it is Convergence Sequence.

Divergence:

A sequence that is not converge is called Diverge.

Example: 1,2,3,4,......
In the above example the sequence leads to +∞ . So it is a Divergent Sequence.
Read the below Question Carefully for Better Understand.

QUESTION:

1. Check 1/2 , 2/3 , 3/4 ,4/5 ,5/6 ........   is Convergence or Divergence ?

ANSWER:
Step1: Find the nth term
tn = n/(n+1)
Step2: Find the limit of the nth term with n↠ ∞

Similarly , if we don't get any finite number then it will be Divergent Sequence.

Limit Superior and Limit Interior Sequences:

Let xn  be the sequence of real numbers , for any k, let Sk = { xn : n > k} . Then




Also Limit Superior and Limit Interior is categories under Convergence and Divergence. Which we have already discussed above.

Other Types Of Sequences:

Monotonic Sequences:
A sequence of increasing(Diverging) or decreasing(Converging) is called Monotonic Sequences.
Example:
1,1/3,1/9 ,1/27 ,........ is a Converging Sequence.
0,2,4,6,8,........ is a Diverging Sequence.

Oscillatory Sequence:

The oscillation of a function or a sequence is a number that quantifies how much that sequence or function varies between its extreme values as it approaches infinity or a point.
Example: (-1) n  is an example of Oscillatory Sequence.

Cauchy's Sequence:

We say that a sequence of real numbers {an } is a Cauchy sequence provided that for every Є>0, there is a natural number N so that when n,mN, we have that|an -am |≤ Є.

Basic Properties of Cauchy's Sequence:
  1. Every convergent sequence is a Cauchy sequence,
  2. Every Cauchy sequence of real (or complex) numbers is bounded .
  3. If in a metric space, a Cauchy sequence possessing a convergent sub sequence with limit is itself convergent and has the same limit.
