Homework Statement


is there are a set with countably infinite number of accumulation points?


Homework Equations



is there a set with exactly two distinct accumulation points?

The Attempt at a Solution


a set with two accumulation points might be: {1/n + (-1)^n}
i have no clue about the countably infinite one

hope someone could help!

thx a lot

Your idea is fine, but be sure to write it correctly (with an ": n in N").

I'd prefer not to spoon feed you an example for the other; rather, consider perhaps a set (in R) that depends on two natural numbers. Say, \{y_n, y_n + x_m: n, m \in \mathbb{N}\}, which you might construct so that \lim_{m\to\infty} x_m = 0 and so, for each fixed n, \lim_{m\to\infty} y_n+x_m=y_n.

Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
