341 Principle of monotone sequences
by EngliSea on 2020-07-17
ᐥA bounded monotone sequence is convergent.ᐥ


Completeness axiom:
Every non-empty set of real numbers that is bounded above has a least upper bound.


If the sequence 「aₙ」 is increasing, it has a least upper bound U.
For all ε>0 there exists a natural number N such that n>N ⇒ U−ε < aₙ.
U−ε < aₙ implies |aₙ−U| < ε.
So 「aₙ Ƚn→∞」 = U.
The proof for a decreasing sequence is similar.
