Outline. The Bolzano Weierstrass Theorem. Extensions to <2. Bounded In nite Sets. Theorem. Bolzano Weierstrass Theorem. Every bounded sequence with an in nite range has at least one convergent subsequence. Proof. As discussed, we have already shown a sequence with a bounded nite range always has convergent subsequences.

The Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem: Every sequence in a closed and bounded set S in R n has a convergent subsequence (which converges to a point in S). Proof: Every sequence in a closed and bounded subset is bounded, so it has a convergent
Theorem (The Bolzano–Weierstrass Theorem) Every bounded sequence of real numbers has a convergent subsequence i.e. a subsequential limit. Proof: Let. sn be a sequence of real numbers with |sn|. n∈IN ≤ L for all N ∈ IN. Step 1 (The Search Procedure): Set a0 = −L and b0 = L. Note that |b0 − a0| = 2L. Divide the interval [a0, b0] into two halves.

1.5 The Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem. Example 1. Let {xn}∞ be the sequence 1, −2, 3, −4, 5, −6, 7, −8, 9, −10, . . . so it is given by xn = (−1)n+1n. n=1. Example 2. Let {xn}∞ be the sequence 1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 1, 8, 9, 1, 11, 12, 1, 14, 15, 1, 17, 18, 1, . . . n=1.
THE BOLZANO-WEIERSTRASS THEOREM. MATH 1220. The Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem: Every sequence fxng1 n=1 in a closed in-terval [a; b] has a convergent subsequence. Proof I. Indication of Proof: (1) Divide [a; b] in half (at its midpoint) into two closed subintervals.
Theorem 1 (Bolzano-Weierstrass): Let () be a bounded sequence. Then there exists a subsequence of ( a n ) {\displaystyle (a_{n})} , call it ( a n k ) {\displaystyle (a_{n_{k}})} that is convergent. Proof 1: Let ( a n ) {\displaystyle (a_{n})} be a bounded sequence, that is the set { a n : n ∈ N } {\displaystyle \{a_{n}:n\in \mathbb {N} \}} is ...
