    Converging Proof
AI Thread Summary
To prove that if Xn converges almost surely to X, then f(Xn) converges almost surely to f(X), it is essential to clarify the definitions of Xn, X, and the function f, including its domain and codomain. The discussion suggests that continuity of the function f may be a sufficient condition for the desired convergence. However, there is an interest in exploring whether this condition can be relaxed. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the properties of the function and the nature of convergence in this context. Overall, the proof hinges on the relationship between the convergence of random variables and the behavior of functions applied to them.

How do I prove that given Xn converges almost surely to X, that f(Xn) will converge almost surely to f(X)?

Re: converging almost surely proof

Hello oyth! Can you please clarify what is $X_n$, $X$ and what are the domain and codomain of the map $f$? :) Although intuition tells me that probably continuity guarantees what you want, perhaps we can weaken that condition.

Cheers! :D
 
I'm taking a look at intuitionistic propositional logic (IPL). Basically it exclude Double Negation Elimination (DNE) from the set of axiom schemas replacing it with Ex falso quodlibet: ⊥ → p for any proposition p (including both atomic and composite propositions). In IPL, for instance, the Law of Excluded Middle (LEM) p ∨ ¬p is no longer a theorem. My question: aside from the logic formal perspective, is IPL supposed to model/address some specific "kind of world" ? Thanks.
I was reading a Bachelor thesis on Peano Arithmetic (PA). PA has the following axioms (not including the induction schema): $$\begin{align} & (A1) ~~~~ \forall x \neg (x + 1 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A2) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + 1 =y + 1 \to x = y) \nonumber \\ & (A3) ~~~~ \forall x (x + 0 = x) \nonumber \\ & (A4) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + (y +1) = (x + y ) + 1) \nonumber \\ & (A5) ~~~~ \forall x (x \cdot 0 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A6) ~~~~ \forall xy (x \cdot (y + 1) = (x \cdot y) + x) \nonumber...
