SUMMARY

The discussion centers on Theorem 11.15 from "Elementary Real Analysis" (Second Edition, 2008) by Thomson, Bruckner, and Bruckner, specifically regarding coordinate-wise convergence in Euclidean spaces $$\mathbb{R}^n$$. Participants seek clarification on the proof of this theorem, which is presented before its statement in the text. A key insight provided is the definition of the vector $y=x_{k}-x$, which allows the application of equation (7) to derive equation (8) in the proof.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Euclidean spaces, specifically $$\mathbb{R}^n$$
  • Familiarity with the concepts of sequences and convergence
  • Knowledge of theorems and proofs in real analysis
  • Ability to interpret mathematical notation and equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the proof of Theorem 11.15 in "Elementary Real Analysis" (Second Edition, 2008)
  • Explore the implications of coordinate-wise convergence in real analysis
  • Learn about the application of vector definitions in proofs
  • Review related theorems in Chapter 11 of the same text for deeper understanding
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in mathematics, particularly those focusing on real analysis, as well as anyone interested in the detailed workings of convergence in Euclidean spaces.

I am reading the book "Elementary Real Analysis" (Second Edition, 2008) Volume II by Brian S. Thomson, Judith B. Bruckner, and Andrew M. Bruckner ... and am currently focused on Chapter 11, The Euclidean Spaces $$\mathbb{R}^n$$ ... ...

I need with the proof of Theorem 11.15 on coordinate-wise convergence of sequences in $$\mathbb{R}^n$$ ... note that the proof precedes the theorem statement in TB&B ... ...

Theorem 11.15 and its proof (as preceding notes) reads as follows:View attachment 7711
View attachment 7712Can someone please explain exactly how (8) follows from (7) ...Help will be much appreciated ...

Hi, Peter.

Define the vector $y=x_{k}-x$, then apply $(7)$ to $y$ to get $(8)$.
