basic properties of a limit along a filter


Theorem 1.

Let F be a free filter (non-principal filter) and (xn) be a real sequence.

  1. (i)

    If limn→∞⁡xn=L then ℱ⁢-⁢lim⁡xn=L.

  2. (ii)

    If ℱ⁢-⁢lim⁡xn exists, then lim inf⁡xn≤ℱ⁢-⁢lim⁡xn≤lim sup⁡xn.

  3. (iii)

    The ℱ-limits are unique.

  4. (iv)

    ℱ⁢-⁢lim(a.xn+b.yn)=a.ℱ⁢-⁢limxn+b.ℱ⁢-⁢limyn (provided the ℱ-limits of (xn) and (yn) exist).

  5. (v)

    ℱ⁢-⁢lim(xn.yn)=ℱ⁢-⁢limxn.ℱ⁢-⁢limyn (provided the ℱ-limits of (xn) and (yn) exist).

  6. (vi)

    For every cluster pointPlanetmathPlanetmath c of the sequence xn there exists a free filter ℱ such that ℱ⁢-⁢lim⁡xn=c. On the other hand, if ℱ⁢-⁢lim⁡xn exists, it is a cluster point of the sequence (xn).
