Now the limit points of this set are those points which the set does not attain.So, they might be the sup and inf which are not attained by this set.Basically sup(\(a_n\))= max{ limit points, \(a_n\) | n \(\in\) \(\mathbb{N}\)}Limit points are \(2,1\) and \(a_1= 2+1=3, a_3= 2- \frac{1}{3} ; a_5= 2+\frac{1}{5} \)\(a_0= 1+1=2 , a_2= 1+ \frac{1}{4} , a_3= 1+\frac{1}{8} \)Now you can calculatethe supremum?
[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title="Hint 2" _builder_version="4.1"]From the observation of Hint 2 we havesup\(a_n\)= max \(\{2,1,3,2\}=3 \)Similarly, inf \(a_n\)= min\(\{\) limit points, \(a_n | n \in \mathbb{N}\}\)Can you calculate that by yourself?[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title="Hint 3" _builder_version="4.1"]
inf \(a_n\)= min {2,1,2 -\(\frac{1}{3}\)}=1So, option A is correct.Now there is another question regardinglim sup and lim inf. We can observe that we have mainly \(3\)subsequences , corresponding to\( n\) is even; \(n=2k\)\(n\)= \(4k+1\)\(n=4k+3\)
Can you calculate the corresponding subsequencesand their limits?
