SUMMARY
The discussion centers on proving that the limit of a sequence \( \lim a_n = L \) is established when every subsequence converges to \( L \in \mathbb{R} \). The Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem is referenced as a foundational concept in this proof. The participant suggests that demonstrating the boundedness of the sequence \( (a_n) \) may be a crucial step, considering the potential use of \( 2L \) as a bound. The thread has been locked, indicating that no further contributions can be made.
