  2. Limit inferior and limit superior - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_inferior_and_limit...

    In mathematical analysis, limit superior and limit inferior are important tools for studying sequences of real numbers.Since the supremum and infimum of an unbounded set of real numbers may not exist (the reals are not a complete lattice), it is convenient to consider sequences in the affinely extended real number system: we add the positive and negative infinities to the real line to give the ...

  3. List of limits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_limits

    In these limits, the infinitesimal change is often denoted or .If () is differentiable at , (+) = ′ ().This is the definition of the derivative.All differentiation rules can also be reframed as rules involving limits.

  4. Limit (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(mathematics)

    On the other hand, if X is the domain of a function f(x) and if the limit as n approaches infinity of f(x n) is L for every arbitrary sequence of points {x n} in X − x 0 which converges to x 0, then the limit of the function f(x) as x approaches x 0 is equal to L. [10] One such sequence would be {x 0 + 1/n}.

  5. Limit of a sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_sequence

    The plot of a convergent sequence {a n} is shown in blue. Here, one can see that the sequence is converging to the limit 0 as n increases. In the real numbers, a number is the limit of the sequence (), if the numbers in the sequence become closer and closer to , and not to any other number.

  6. Limit of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_function

    Suppose M and N are subsets of metric spaces A and B, respectively, and f : M → N is defined between M and N, with x ∈ M, p a limit point of M and L ∈ N. It is said that the limit of f as x approaches p is L and write = if the following property holds:

  7. Iterated limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterated_limit

    In multivariable calculus, an iterated limit is a limit of a sequence or a limit of a function in the form , = (,), (,) = ((,)),or other similar forms. An iterated limit is only defined for an expression whose value depends on at least two variables. To evaluate such a limit, one takes the limiting process as one of the two variables approaches some number, getting an expression whose value ...

  8. Set-theoretic limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-theoretic_limit

    In mathematics, the limit of a sequence of sets,, … (subsets of a common set ) is a set whose elements are determined by the sequence in either of two equivalent ways: (1) by upper and lower bounds on the sequence that converge monotonically to the same set (analogous to convergence of real-valued sequences) and (2) by convergence of a sequence of indicator functions which are themselves ...

  9. Limit of distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_distributions

    Given a sequence of distributions , its limit is the distribution given by [] = []for each test function , provided that distribution exists.The existence of the limit means that (1) for each , the limit of the sequence of numbers [] exists and that (2) the linear functional defined by the above formula is continuous with respect to the topology on the space of test functions.
