Limit of sequence equal to limit of function

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between two limits involving the supremum of a function f(x) as x approaches 0 from the right. Specifically, it establishes that if lim (e -> 0+) of sup {f(x) / x ∈ (0, e)} equals L_2, and lim (n -> ∞) of sup {f(x) / x ∈ (0, 1/n)} equals L_1, then L_1 is equal to L_2. The theorem referenced confirms that if lim g(e) = L when e approaches a from the right, and the sequence {a_n} approaches a without equaling it, then the sequence {g(a_n)} approaches L as n approaches infinity.

Suppose

lim (when n -> oo) of sup {f(x) / x belongs to (0, 1/n) } = L_1, and


lim (when e -> 0+) of sup {f(x) / x belongs to (0, e) } = L_2.


(e is simply epsilon).

It seems pretty obvious, but it is truth that L_1 = L_2 ?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe this theorem works.

If:
1. Lim g(e) = L ( when e -> a+ )
2. The sequence {a_n} -> "a"+ (but there is not a_n = a),

Then the sequence { g(a_n) } -> L (when n -> oo).

So in the case I stated previously I have these facts:

1. Let "g" be the function / g(e) = sup { f(x) / x belongs to (0,e) }
2. Lim g(e) = L ( when e -> 0+ ).
3. The sequence {1/n} -> 0+

So by the theorem I got { g(1/n) } -> L (when n -> oo), or in other words
sup { f(x) / x belongs to (0,1/n) } -> L (when n -> oo).

Now I would thank if someone can bless this.
