Math Problem Statement

以下叙述是否正确: 若 ∀ ε > 0, 区间 (A - ε, A + ε) 内总有数列 {x_n} 中的无穷多项, 则 lim(x_n) = A.

Solution

The question in the image is related to the limit of a sequence in mathematical analysis, specifically regarding the formal definition of a limit. The text reads:

"以下叙述是否正确: 若 ∀ ε > 0, 区间 (A - ε, A + ε) 内总有数列 {x_n} 中的无穷多项, 则 lim(x_n) = A."

Translation: "Is the following statement correct? If for every ε > 0, there are infinitely many terms of the sequence {x_n} within the interval (A - ε, A + ε), then lim(x_n) = A."

Analysis:

The statement is incorrect.

This is because the condition described (that infinitely many terms lie in the interval) does not guarantee the convergence of the sequence to AA. To confirm the limit of a sequence limnxn=A\lim_{n \to \infty} x_n = A, it is necessary that all terms of the sequence, after a certain point, lie within any interval (Aϵ,A+ϵ)(A - \epsilon, A + \epsilon) for arbitrary small ϵ>0\epsilon > 0. Merely having infinitely many terms in this interval is not sufficient to conclude that the entire sequence converges to AA, as there could still be subsequences that diverge or fluctuate.

Therefore, the correct answer is B (错 - Incorrect).

Here are 5 related questions to further your understanding:

  1. What is the formal definition of a limit of a sequence?
  2. How does the "Cauchy criterion" help in understanding convergence?
  3. Can a sequence have multiple accumulation points?
  4. What are necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence to converge?
  5. What are some examples of divergent sequences that have infinitely many terms in a given interval?

Tip: Always check whether all terms beyond a certain point satisfy the limit condition, not just infinitely many terms in a region.
