SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the Order Limit Theorem, which states that if the limits of two sequences exist, they must be unique. Specifically, if the sequence \(a_n\) converges to \(a\) and \(b_n\) converges to \(b\), and if \(a_n \leq b_n\) for all natural numbers \(n\), then it follows that \(a \leq b\). The participants confirm that the application of this theorem in the given context is correct and valid.
