elementary set theory - Disjoint union with limsup






For any sets An,nN consider
A+:=lim sup
Show that the sets E_m, m\geq 1 can be written as a disjoint union
E_m=A^+\uplus\biguplus_{n\geq m}(E_n\setminus E_{n+1}).






I do not have a working idea. I started with writing E_m as a disjoint union, i.e.
E_m=A_m\uplus\biguplus_{i=m+1}^{\infty}A_i\setminus\bigcup_{j=m}^{i-1}A_j=A_m\uplus\biguplus_{i=m+1}^{\infty}\bigcap_{j=m}^{i-1}A_i\setminus A_j



and additionally I see that
A^+=\bigcap_{n=1}^{\infty}E_n.
But I do not know if this is helpful...



Would be great to get a help resp. answer.



With kind regards,

Answer




Hint: For x \in E_m consider
\sup_{A_k \ni x} k.
Show that if this supremum is infinite, then x \in A^{+}. Otherwise, denote this supremum by n and show that x \in E_n \setminus E_{n+1}.
