In mathematics, specifically in real analysis, the Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem, named after Bernard Bolzano and Karl Weierstrass, is a fundamental result about convergence in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space.

Theorem \(\PageIndex{1}\): Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem. Every bounded sequence \(\left\{a_{n}\right\}\) of real numbers has a convergent subsequence. Proof. Suppose \(\left\{a_{n}\right\}\) is a bounded sequence. Define \(A=\left\{a_{n}: n \in \mathbb{N}\right\}\) (the set of values of the sequence \(\left\{a_{n}\right\}\)).
5 days ago · Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem. Every bounded infinite set in has an accumulation point . For , an infinite subset of a closed bounded set has an accumulation point in . For instance, given a bounded sequence , with for all , it must have a monotonic subsequence .
The Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem: Every bounded sequence of real numbers has a convergent subsequence. Proof: Let fxng be a bounded sequence and without loss of generality assume that every term of the sequence lies in the interval [0; 1]. Divide [0; 1] into two intervals, [0; 1 2] and [1 2; 1]. (Note: this is not a partition of [0; 1].)
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.
Theorem (Bolzano-Weierstrass) Let {x n}∞ n=1 be any bounded sequence. Then {x n} ∞ n=1 has a convergent subsequence. Comments on the proof It is sufficient to show that the sequence has a Cauchy subsequence. The result will then follow from the completeness axiom of R. This is done using the method of interval halving.
