real analysis - Sequence Convergence in mathbbRn



Let {uk} be a sequence in Rn and let u be a point in Rn. Suppose that for every v in Rn, limkuk,v=u,v.




Prove that {uk} converges to u.

Using the Triangle Inequality I get



dist(u,v)dist(u,uk)+dist(uk,v), kdist(u,v)limk[dist(u,uk)+dist(uk,v)]



and
limkdist(u,uk)=0
because {uk} u.



But I don't know what to do next.


Answer



Since you are working on Rn with the standard scalar product (I suppose?), you can just insert the i-th standard-basis vector ei for v. Then your equation reads

limk(vk)i=vi


(the upper index i denotes the i-th component). This already implies that uk converges to u since a series of vectors converges if and only if all components converge.
