SUMMARY
The infimum of the set A, defined as A={1/n | n ∈ Z^+}, is conclusively equal to zero. This conclusion is reached by applying the definition of infimum rather than relying on limits. As n approaches infinity, the values of 1/n approach zero, confirming that zero is indeed the greatest lower bound of the set A.
