Detailed Proof of the Monotone Convergence Theorem | Real Analysis

Показать описание
We prove a detailed version of the monotone convergence theorem. We'll prove that a monotone sequence converges if and only if it is bounded. In particular, if it is increasing and unbounded, then it diverges to positive infinity, if it is increasing and bounded, then it converges to the supremum of the set of sequence values. If a sequence is decreasing and unbounded, then it diverges to negative infinity, if it is decreasing and bounded then it converges to the infimum of the set of sequence values. #RealAnalysis

Said simply in one case of the theorem: a non decreasing sequence which is bounded above is convergent.

Your videos help me understand the writings of my real analysis book. You should totally write a text!

tysm, my book proved the theorem in a really interesting way, but this clarifies it so much!

Why the assumption of monotonicity in monotone convergence theorem is necessary? Can you give me a detailed answer of this?

We use the completeness property of the reals to conclude that sup(a n) exists when (a n) is increasing, but what do we use to conclude inf(a n) exists when the sequence is decreasing?

i don't understand for the summation of 1/n, where n is an integer from 1 to infinite. While ther series of 1/n to infinite decreases and tends to zero, the Integral test tell us the summation of 1/n is smaller than ln(n) - ln(1) = infinite. However, it fulfills the monotone convergence theoerm conditions, bounded and decreasing. Have I already confused these Mathematic ideas? I'm learning Integral and Series, so please thanks

Bounded does not imply convergent surely? Consider (-1)^n

Didnt really understand why for increasing sequence the limit should be the supremum
