1 MATH 409 Advanced Calculus I Lecture 7: Monotone sequences. The Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem.
2 Limit of a sequence Definition. Sequence {x n } of real numbers is said to converge to a real number a if for any ε > 0 there exists N N such that x n a < ε for all n N. The number a is called the limit of {x n }. A sequence is called convergent if it has a limit and divergent otherwise. Properties of convergent sequences: the limit is unique; any convergent sequence is bounded; any subsequence of a convergent sequence converges to the same limit; modifying a finite number of elements cannot affect convergence of a sequence or change its limit; rearranging elements of a sequence cannot affect its convergence or change its limit.
3 Limit theorems Theorem 1 If lim x n = lim y n = a and n n x n w n y n for all sufficiently large n, then lim w n = a. n Theorem 2 If lim x n = a, lim y n = b, and n n x n y n for all sufficiently large n, then a b. Theorem 3 If lim x n = a and lim y n = b, n n then lim (x n +y n ) = a+b, lim (x n y n ) = a b, n n and lim x n y n = ab. If, additionally, b 0 and n y n 0 for all n N, then lim x n /y n = a/b. n
4 Examples lim n sin(e n ) n = 0. 1/n sin(e n )/n 1/n for all n N since 1 sinx 1 for all x R. As shown in the previous lecture, 1/n 0 as n. Then 1/n 1 0 = 0 as n. By the Squeeze Theorem, sin(e n )/n 0 as n. 1 lim n 2 = 0. n The sequence {1/2 n } is a subsequence of {1/n}. Hence it is converging to the same limit.
5 Examples lim n (1+2n) 2 1+2n 2 = 2. (1+2n) 2 1+2n 2 = (1+2n)2 /n 2 (1+2n 2 )/n 2 = (1/n+2)2 (1/n) 2 +2 Since 1/n 0 as n, it follows that 1/n = 2 as n, (1/n+2) = 4 as n, (1/n) = 0 as n, for all n N. (1/n) = 2 as n, and, finally, (1/n+2) 2 (1/n) = 2 as n. 2
6 Monotone sequences Definition. A sequence {x n } is called increasing (or nondecreasing) if x 1 x 2 x 3... or, to be precise, x n x n+1 for all n N. It is called strictly increasing if x 1 < x 2 < x 3 <..., that is, x n < x n+1 for all n N. Likewise, the sequence {x n } is called decreasing (or nonincreasing) if x n x n+1 for all n N. It is called strictly decreasing if x n > x n+1 for all n N. Increasing and decreasing sequences are called monotone. Examples: the sequence {1/n} is strictly decreasing; the sequence 1,1,2,2,3,3,... is increasing, but not strictly increasing; the sequence 1,1, 1,1, 1,1,... is neither increasing nor decreasing; a constant sequence is both increasing and decreasing.
7 Theorem Any increasing sequence converges to a limit if it is bounded, and diverges to + otherwise. Proof: Let {x n } be an increasing sequence. First consider the case when {x n } is bounded. In this case, the set E of all elements occurring in the sequence is bounded. Then sup E exists. We claim that x n supe as n. Take any ε > 0. Then supe ε is not an upper bound of E. Hence there exists n 0 N such that x n0 > supe ε. Since the sequence is increasing, it follows that x n x n0 > supe ε for all n n 0. At the same time, x n supe for all n N. Therefore x n supe < ε for all n n 0, which proves the claim. Now consider the case when the sequence {x n } is not bounded. Note that the set E is bounded below (as x 1 is a lower bound). Hence E is not bounded above. Then for any C R there exists n 0 N such that x n0 > C. It follows that x n x n0 > C for all n n 0. Thus {x n } diverges to +.
8 Theorem Any decreasing sequence converges to a limit if it is bounded, and diverges to otherwise. Proof: Let {x n } be a decreasing sequence. Then the sequence { x n } is increasing since the inequality a b is equivalent to a b for all a,b R. By the previous theorem, either x n c for some c R as n, or else x n diverges to +. In the former case, x n c as n (in particular, it is bounded). In the latter case, x n diverges to (in particular, it is unbounded). Corollary Any monotone sequence converges to a limit if it is bounded, and diverges to infinity otherwise.
9 Nested intervals property Definition. A sequence of sets I 1,I 2,... is called nested if I 1 I 2..., that is, I n I n+1 for all n N. Theorem If {I n } is a nested sequence of nonempty closed bounded intervals, then the intersection n N I n is nonempty. Moreover, if lengths I n of the intervals satisfy I n 0 as n, then the intersection consists of a single point. Remark 1. The theorem may not hold if the intervals I 1,I 2,... are open. Counterexample: I n = (0,1/n), n N. The intervals are nested and bounded, but their intersection is empty since 1/n 0 as n. Remark 2. The theorem may not hold if the intervals I 1,I 2,... are not bounded. Counterexample: I n = [n, ), n N. The intervals are nested and closed, but their intersection is empty since the sequence {n} diverges to +.
10 Proof of the theorem Let I n = [a n,b n ], n = 1,2,... Since the sequence {I n } is nested, it follows that the sequence {a n } is increasing while the sequence {b n } is decreasing. Besides, both sequences are bounded (since both are contained in the interval I 1 ). Hence both are convergent: a n a and b n b as n. Since a n b n for all n N, the Comparison Theorem implies that a b. We claim that n N I n = [a,b]. Indeed, we have a n a for all n N (by the Comparison Theorem applied to a 1,a 2,... and the constant sequence a n,a n,a n...). Similarly, b b n for all n N. Therefore [a,b] is contained in the intersection. On the other hand, if x < a then x < a n for some n so that x / I n. Similarly, if x > b then x > b m for some m so that x / I m. This proves the claim. Clearly, the length of [a,b] cannot exceed I n for any n N. Therefore I n 0 as n implies that [a,b] is a degenerate interval: a = b.
11 Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem Theorem Every bounded sequence of real numbers has a convergent subsequence. Proof: Let {x n } be a bounded sequence of real numbers. We are going to build a nested sequence of intervals I n = [a n,b n ], n = 1,2,..., such that each I n contains infinitely many elements of {x n } and I n+1 = I n /2 for all n N. The sequence is built inductively. First we set I 1 to be any closed bounded interval that contains all elements of {x n } (such an interval exists since the sequence {x n } is bounded). Now assume that for some n N the interval I n is already chosen and it contains infinitely many elements of the sequence {x n }. Then at least one of the subintervals I = [a n,(a n +b n )/2)] and I = [(a n +b n )/2,b n ] also contains infinitely many elements of {x n }. We set I n+1 to be such a subinterval. By construction, I n+1 I n and I n+1 = I n /2.
12 Proof (continued): Since I n+1 = I n /2 for all n N, it follows by induction that I n = I 1 /2 n 1 for all n N. As a consequence, I n 0 as n. By the nested intervals property, the intersection of the intervals I 1,I 2,I 3,... consists of a single number a. Next we are going to build a strictly increasing sequence of natural numbers n 1,n 2,... such that x nk I k for all k N. The sequence is built inductively. First we choose n 1 so that x n1 I 1. Now assume that for some k N the number n k is already chosen. Since the interval I k+1 contains infinitely many elements of the sequence {x n }, there exists m > n k such that x m I k+1. We set n k+1 = m. Now we claim that the subsequence {x nk } k N of the sequence {x n } converges to a. Indeed, for any k N the points x nk and a both belong to the interval I k. Hence x nk a I k. Since I k 0 as k, it follows that x nk a as k.
