real analysis - Prove the convergence of a sequence based on sub-sequence



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 |an0| <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.
