A: $\liminf (a_n+b_n) = \liminf(a_n)+\liminf(b_n)$ provided that $\lim a_n$ exists We will use the following facts in the proof: - (1) If the limit of $(xn)$ exists, so does that of $(-xn)$ - (2) If the limit of $xn$ as $n\to\infty$ exists, then $$\liminfnxn=\limsupnxn=\limnxn$$ - (3) One obvious direction of the inequality is proved by definition: $$ \liminf{n\to\infty}(an...

Suppose $(an)$ and $(bn)$ are two sequences of real numbers such that $\displaystyle \lim{n\to\infty}an=a.$ Show that $$ \liminf{n\to\infty}(an+bn)=\liminf{n\to\infty}(an)+\liminf{n\to\infty}(bn). $$ > To avoid tedious discussion with infinity, assume in addition that both $an$ an...

It is interesting to know the categorical perspective of the problem. (more) |

A: $\sup(A\cdot B) = (\sup A)(\sup B)$ where $A$ and $B$ bounded sets of positive real numbers Another way to write the proof is to use an alternative equivalent definition of supremum: > For a bounded set of real numbers $A$, $L=\sup A$ if >- $L$ is an upper bound for $A$, i.e., for all $a\in A$: $a\le L$; >- any number smaller than $L$ is not an upper bound of $A$: for every $\epsil...

A: $\sup(A\cdot B) = (\sup A)(\sup B)$ where $A$ and $B$ bounded sets of positive real numbers Let $L:=(\sup A)(\sup B)$. By definition of "supremum", one needs to show the following two things, - $L$ is an upper bound for $A\cdot B$; - $L$ is the smallest upper bound for $A\cdot B$. The first statement is very easy to prove: since for every $a\in A$ and every $b\in B$, one has $a\... (more) |

$\sup(A\cdot B) = (\sup A)(\sup B)$ where $A$ and $B$ bounded sets of positive real numbers > Problem. Suppose $A$ and $B$ are two subsets of positive real numbers. In addition, assume that $A$ and $B$ are both bounded. Show that $$ (\sup A)(\sup B) = \sup A\cdot B$$ where the set of the right-hand side is defined as $$ A\cdot B = \\{ ab\mid a\in A, b\in B\\} $$ The problem abo... (more) |

| Answer | — |
A: Why is $ \int_0^{\infty}\left|\frac{\sin x}{x}\right|\ dx=\infty$? Since, $\displaystyle \lim{x\to 0}\frac{\sin x}{x}=1$, the singularity of the integral is not at $x=0$. On the other hand, one can rewrite the integral as $ \int{0}^\infty\frac{1}{x}\cdot |\sin(x)|\ dx\. $ It suffices to analyze the sum $$ \int0^\pi\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\ dx+\int{\pi}^{N\pi}\frac{1...

Why is $ \int_0^{\infty}\left|\frac{\sin x}{x}\right|\ dx=\infty$? > Question: Why is $$ \int0^{\infty}\left|\frac{\sin x}{x}\right|\ dx=\infty\quad ? $$ There are several other ways to state the fact in the question depending on the contexts. For examples: - The function $\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{\sin(x)}{x}$ is not absolutely integrable on $0,\infty)$. ... (more) |

@#53398 Thank you for your comments. I have edited the post by adding the reference. The sketchy proof in the post is intended as a summary of the standard textbook proof. For the sake of clarity, I add the complete argument explicitly.
For the last part of your comment, I think I'm using the def... (more) |

A: Universal property of quotient spaces I figured out an answer after posting the question for a while. I would like to record it here. The problem with the mentioned argument is that one attempted to prove the continuity of $g$ at one point $[x]$ using merely the continuity of $f$ at $x$ instead of using the global continuity of $f$ ...

| Question | — |
Universal property of quotient spaces A typical textbook theorem about quotient space is as follows: >Theorem (Gamelin-Greene Introduction to Topology p.106): Let $f$ be a continuous function from a topological space $X$ to a topological space $Y$. Let $\sim$ be an equivalence relation on $X$ such that $f$ is constant on each equiva... (more) |
