Determine if the given set is Bounded- Complex Numbers

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the boundedness of a set of complex numbers, specifically addressing the radius of 2. The sequence is confirmed to be both bounded and monotonic, with bounds established between 0 and 1. The reasoning for the radius being 2 is supported by the inclusion of the complement of set S, leading to the conclusion that both the set and its members lie within the circle defined by |z| ≤ 2. There is some confusion regarding the inclusion of certain values, such as 1.5, which are not part of set S despite being within the larger circle. Ultimately, set S is confirmed to be a subset of various larger sets, but not vice versa.

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.

First, I tried to show that ##f_n## converges uniformly on ##[0,2\pi]##, which is true since ##f_n \rightarrow 0## for ##n \rightarrow \infty## and ##\sigma_n=\mathrm{sup}\left| \frac{\sin\left(\frac{n^2}{n+\frac 15}x\right)}{n^{x^2-3x+3}} \right| \leq \frac{1}{|n^{x^2-3x+3}|} \leq \frac{1}{n^{\frac 34}}\rightarrow 0##. I can't use neither Leibnitz's test nor Abel's test. For Dirichlet's test I would need to show, that ##\sin\left(\frac{n^2}{n+\frac 15}x \right)## has partialy bounded sums...
