A collection of specific limit computations #
This file contains important specific limit computations in (semi-)normed groups/rings/spaces, as
well as such computations in ℝ
when the natural proof passes through a fact about normed spaces.
Powers #
Various statements equivalent to the fact that f n
grows exponentially slower than R ^ n
.
- 0: $f n = o(a ^ n)$ for some $-R < a < R$;
- 1: $f n = o(a ^ n)$ for some $0 < a < R$;
- 2: $f n = O(a ^ n)$ for some $-R < a < R$;
- 3: $f n = O(a ^ n)$ for some $0 < a < R$;
- 4: there exist
a < R
andC
such that one ofC
andR
is positive and $|f n| ≤ Ca^n$ for alln
; - 5: there exists
0 < a < R
and a positiveC
such that $|f n| ≤ Ca^n$ for alln
; - 6: there exists
a < R
such that $|f n| ≤ a ^ n$ for sufficiently largen
; - 7: there exists
0 < a < R
such that $|f n| ≤ a ^ n$ for sufficiently largen
.

For a real r > 1
we have n = o(r ^ n)
as n → ∞

For k ≠ 0
and a constant r
the function r / n ^ k
tends to zero.
If 0 ≤ r < 1
, then n ^ k r ^ n
tends to zero for any natural k
.
This is a specialized version of tendsto_pow_const_mul_const_pow_of_abs_lt_one
, singled out
for ease of application.
If |r| < 1
, then n * r ^ n
tends to zero.
If 0 ≤ r < 1
, then n * r ^ n
tends to zero. This is a specialized version of
tendsto_self_mul_const_pow_of_abs_lt_one
, singled out for ease of application.
In a normed ring, the powers of an element x with ‖x‖ < 1
tend to zero.
Geometric series #
A normed ring has summable geometric series if, for all ξ
of norm < 1
, the geometric series
∑ ξ ^ n
converges. This holds both in complete normed rings and in normed fields, providing a
convenient abstraction of these two classes to avoid repeating the same proofs.

If ‖f n‖ ≤ C * r ^ n

and some r < 1
, then the partial sums of f
form a
Cauchy sequence. This lemma does not assume 0 ≤ r
or 0 ≤ C
.
If ‖f n‖ ≤ C * r ^ n
for all n : ℕ
and some r < 1
, then the partial sums of f
are within
distance C * r ^ n / (1 - r)
of the sum of the series. This lemma does not assume 0 ≤ r
or
0 ≤ C
.
The term norms of any convergent series are bounded by a constant.
