I'm trying to compute the follow limits:
lim
First, I tried to compute the last one.
\lim_{(x,y)\to (0,0)}x^2\sin\frac{1}{xy}=\lim_{r\to 0}r^2\cos^2 \theta\sin\frac{2}{r^2\sin(2\theta)}
I tried to use squeeze theorem and got 0. According to W|A the limit doesn't exist and I don't understand why.
The middle one is pretty easy - using squeeze theorem, the inside limit is 0, thus the whole limit is 0.
I don't how to start evaluating the first one.
Please help, thank you.
Answer
The last limit exists:
0\leq |x|^2\cdot\left|\sin\left(\frac{1}{xy}\right)\right|\leq |x|^2\to0
Therefore \lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)}x^2\sin\left(\frac{1}{xy}\right)=0.
The second limit exists:
It is the same argument. We compute by squeeze that g(y)=\lim_{x\to0}x^2\sin\left(\frac{1}{xy}\right)=0, for y=\neq0, and therefore \lim_{y\to0}\lim_{x\to0}x^2\sin\left(\frac{1}{xy}\right)=\lim_{y\to0}g(y)=\lim_{y\to0}0=0
The first limit doesn't exist make sense:
The problem is that
f(x)=\lim_{y\to0}x^2\sin\left(\frac{1}{xy}\right)
doesn't exist for x\neq0. Therefore
\lim_{x\to0}\lim_{y\to0}x^2\sin\left(\frac{1}{xy}\right)=\lim_{x\to0}f(x)
doesn't make sense. To define limit we need the function to be defined in a neighborhood of x=0, or at least in a set that accumulates at x=0.
