Suppose that every convergent sub-sequence of an converges to zero. Prove that an converges to zero.
I tried to prove this statement using the definition of limit. From the question, I know that ank converges to zero ∀ k ∈ N. I want to show that ∀ϵ>0,∃N∈ natural number such that ∀n>N, we have |an−0| <ϵ
Answer
First of all, (an) must be bounded, if not, one can find some |ank| such that |ank|→∞, if your convergence includes the sort of infinity, then this violates the assumption.
Now let a subsequence (ank) such that lim, so by assumption \limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty}|a_{n}|=0. Hence 0\leq\liminf_{n\rightarrow\infty}|a_{n}|\leq\limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty}|a_{n}|=0 and we have then \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}|a_{n}|=0.
