Monotone convergence theorem

In the mathematical field of real analysis, the monotone convergence theorem is any of a number of related theorems proving the convergence of monotonic sequences (sequences that are non-decreasing or non-increasing) that are also bounded. Informally, the theorems state that if a sequence is increasing and bounded above by a supremum, then the sequence will converge to the supremum; in the same way, if a sequence is decreasing and is bounded below by an infimum, it will converge to the infimum.

Using the Monotone Convergence Theorem! | Real Analysis

Let's see an awesome example of the monotone convergence theorem in action! We'll look at a sequence that seems to converge, as its terms change by smaller and smaller amounts, but it isn't clear what it converges to. Since we don't have a clue how we might express its limit, we cannot use

Detailed Proof of the Monotone Convergence Theorem | Real Analysis

We prove a detailed version of the monotone convergence theorem. We'll prove that a monotone sequence converges if and only if it is bounded. In particular, if it is increasing and unbounded, then it diverges to positive infinity, if it is increasing and bounded, then it converges to the s

What are Monotone Sequences? | Real Analysis

We introduce monotone sequences, monotone increasing, and monotone decreasing sequences, with plenty of examples and non-examples. We'll see how a sequence can be both increasing and decreasing, and we'll see some equivalent characterizations of increasing and decreasing sequences. #RealAn

Monotone Sequence Theorem

In this video, I prove the monotone sequence theorem in calculus, which says that if a sequence is increasing and bounded above, then it must converge. It’s a great way of showing that a sequence converges, without actually finding the limit!

Monotone Subsequence Theorem (Every Sequence has Monotone Subsequence) | Real Analysis

How nice of a subsequence does any given sequence has? We've seen that not every sequence converges, and some don't even have convergent subsequences. But today we'll prove what is sometimes called the Monotone Subsequence theorem, telling us that every sequence has a monotone subsequence.

Short Proof of Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem for Sequences | Real Analysis

Every bounded sequence has a convergent subsequence. This is the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem for sequences, and we prove it in today's real analysis video lesson. We'll use two previous results that make this proof short and easy. First is the monotone subsequence theorem, stating that eve

Monotone Sequence with Convergent Subsequence Converges | Real Analysis

We prove that if a monotone sequence has a convergent subsequence, as in A SINGLE CONVERGENT SUBSEQUENCE, then the monotone sequence converges and has the same limit as its subsequence. Of course, this means that in fact all of its subsequences converge to the same thing, but the point is
