Supremum and infimum of specific sets
Click For Summary
Homework Help Overview
The discussion revolves around determining the supremum and infimum of several sets defined by specific mathematical expressions involving natural and integer numbers. The sets include expressions like {mn/(1+m+n)}, {mn/(4m^2+m+n^2)}, and others involving decimal fractions between 0 and 1.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Assumption checking, Conceptual clarification
Approaches and Questions Raised
- Participants explore various approaches to find the supremum and infimum of the sets, with some verifying specific values and others questioning the methods used. There is discussion on whether certain values can be upper or lower bounds and the implications of finite versus infinite sets.
Discussion Status
Participants are actively engaging with the problem, offering guidance and questioning each other's reasoning. Some have provided insights into the nature of supremum and infimum, while others are still clarifying their understanding of the concepts involved.
Contextual Notes
There are indications of confusion regarding the definitions of supremum and infimum, particularly in relation to finite and infinite sets. Some participants express uncertainty about the techniques required for their class, and there are discussions about the implications of specific values being upper or lower bounds.
