Problem 73: (Limits Of Sequences And Limit Points Of Images)

Is a limit point of the image of a sequence equal to the limit of that sequence?

  • Give an example of a sequence $(a_n)$ that converges to $L$, such that $L$ is a limit point of the image of the sequence.
  • Give an example of a sequence $(a_n)$ that converges to $L$, such that $L$ is not a limit point of the image of the sequence.
  • Make a conjecture about when limits of sequences and limit points of images of sequences are equal.
  • Give an example of a sequence $(a_n)$ that does not converge, yet the image of the sequence has one (or more) limit points.
We'll have a class discussion on this one, rather than have someone present it. Please come with examples and a conjecture. If you choose to type this one up, you will need to prove any claims you make (about a sequence converging, or not, to what you say it does (which means you probably want to focus on typing up a different problem, as doing so could be quite time consuming if your examples are non trivial.
