Determine if the given set is Bounded- Complex Numbers

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the boundedness of a set of complex numbers, specifically analyzing the radius of the set S, which is established as 2. The sequence is confirmed to be bounded above by 1 and below by 0, with the radius derived from the equation r² = √((1 - -1)² + (0 - 0)²) = √4, leading to r = 2. The participants clarify that while |z| ≤ 2 includes points like z = 1, these points do not belong to set S, reinforcing the distinction between set S and larger sets T.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex numbers and the complex plane
  • Knowledge of bounded and monotonic sequences
  • Familiarity with the Cauchy criterion for convergence
  • Basic concepts of set theory and subsets
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of bounded sequences in complex analysis
  • Learn about the Cauchy criterion in more depth
  • Explore the relationship between sets in the complex plane
  • Investigate the implications of radius and boundary in complex sets
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students of complex analysis, and anyone interested in the properties of bounded sets in the context of complex numbers.

My interest is only on part (a). Wah! been going round circles to try understand why the radius = ##2##. I know that the given sequence is both bounded and monotonic. I can state that its bounded above by ##1## and bounded below by ##0##. Now when it comes to the radius=##2##, i can also say that the boundary of set ##S## also consists/ includes the complement of the set and that will gives us;##r^2=\sqrt{(1--1)^2+(0-0)^2}=\sqrt{4}##
##r=2.##

I hope this is the correct reasoning, otherwise i need your insight...i also tried looking at the cauchy criterion,... among other...

Say s is a member of S other than i , as ##|s| < 1## s is inside unit circle of complex plane on which i is. Both s and i are inside the circle |z|=2.

Not only |z|##\leq##2 but other regions including S inside work, e.g. |z|##\leq##3/2, |z|##\leq##3,
the rectangle region of ## 0 \leq I am \ z \leq 1+\epsilon_1, |Re\ z| \leq \epsilon_2 ## where ##0<\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2##.

Something am not getting here, I guess I need to check...I thought the set members are bound by ##1## and ##0##. You have ##1.5## which clearly in my understanding is not part of set S. My understanding of radius here is the distance between i.e neighbourhood of set ##S## and ##S^{'}##.

You are right. Even as for the answer in the textbook, z=1 belongs to |z|<2, but it does not belong to set S.

Say T is a set, e.g. |z| ##\leq## 2, |z| ##\leq \sqrt{2}##, |z| ##\leq \pi##, |z| ##\leq 3/2## ... any circle larger than unit circle in complex plane,
##S \subset T##
Set T is not part of set S. Set S is part of set T.
