Definition: for every given arbitrarily small positive integer ε, there is always a positive integer n, so that for n >;; Everything in n
x? n? , unequal? x? n? -a︱<; ε can be established, so the constant a is called sequence X? ,X? ,X? ,。 . . ,X? n? ,。 . .
The limit of n→∞.
Your example is X? n? = 1/n, which is proved by the limit definition: n→∞lim( 1/n)=0.
It is proved that the given positive number ε is so small, from ︱1/n-0 ︱ =1/n1/ε, so the positive integer N= 1/ε can be taken as
N> when n, there is always1/n.
What does this mean? That is to say, no matter how small the positive number ε you gave in advance, I can always find a positive integer n. From then on, that is to say,
Is n>n followed by x? n? The values of = 1/n are all less than ε. For example, given ε=0. 1, there is n =10; When n >; 10, that is,11,112,
1/ 13, 。 . . . , all less than 0.1;
Given ε=0.0 1, there is n =100; When n >; 100, that is,11,1102,1103. . . . , all less than 0.0 1.
It should be noted here that this process cannot be repeated, that is, after n>n, at any time, the inequality ︱X? n? -a︱<; ε has always been true, but it can't be true after a while!
