Sequence Is A Function Whose Domain Is The Subset of Positive Integers

1. A sequence is a function whose domain is the subset of positive integers. Sequences can be infinite or finite depending on whether their domain is infinite or finite. 2. Real sequences are those whose range is real numbers. Bounded sequences are those for which there exists a number such that all terms are less than or equal to that number. Increasing sequences have terms that are increasing, while decreasing sequences have terms that are decreasing. 3. A sequence converges if it converges to a finite point. A divergent sequence does not converge to a point. An oscillatory sequence does not converge to a unique limit or diverge to infinity.

Sequence

 Sequence is a function whose domain is the subset


of positive integers.
 This Sequence is usually denoted by
{ Sn } , { Tn } , { An } or { Xn } etc
For Example:
{ Sn } = { 1/n }∞ n=1
is a “Sequence”.
Infinite Sequence

 If domain of a sequence is infinite then such a


sequence is called “Infinite Sequence”.
For Example:
{ 1/n } ∞ 1
is an “Infinite Sequence”.
Finite Sequence

 If domain of a sequence is finite then this


sequence is called “ Finite Sequence ”.
For Example:
{ 1/n }1001
is a “ Finite Sequence”.
Real Sequence

 A Sequence is called real sequence if its range is real.


For Example:
i. { Sn } = { n2 }= { 1 , 4 , 9 , 16 ,……}
So {Sn} is a real sequence.
Note: If the limit of sequence do not given then it will be
understood that limit varies from 1 to ∞.
ii. { Tn } = { ( i )n }={ i , -1 , -i , 1 , i ,…..}
{Tn} is not a real sequence.
Bounded Sequence

 A Sequence { Sn } is said to be Bounded Sequence if there exist a


number λ
Such that
Sn ≤ λ for all n Є N
For Example:
{ Sn } = { 1/n } = { 1 , 1/2 , 1/3 , 1/4 ,…..}
It is “Bounded Sequence”.
{ Tn } = { n2 } = { 1 , 4 , 9 , 16 ,……}
Is not a Bounded Sequence.
Increasing Sequence

 Consider that { Sn } is a Sequence such that Sn < Sn+1


for all n Є N then sequence is said to be “ Increasing
Sequence ”.
For Example:
{ Tn } = { n2 } = { 1 , 4 , 9 , 16 ,……}
Decreasing Sequence

 Consider a sequence { Sn } such that Sn > Sn+1 for all n ,


then sequence is called “Decreasing Sequence”.
For Example:
{ Sn } = { 1/n } = { 1 , 1/2 , 1/3 , 1/4 , ……}.
Convergence of Sequence

 A sequence is said to be “Convergent Sequence” , If it


converges to a finite point S such that for a given Є > 0
there exist a positive integer N.
such that
|Sn - S| < Є whenever as
Limn→∞ Sn = S
Divergence of a Sequence

 If the Sequence { Sn } does not converge to such point


S then it is said to be “ Divergent Sequence ”.
 The Sequence { Sn } whose limit is not finite is called “
Divergent Sequence”.
Oscillatory Sequence

 If a sequence { Sn } does not converge to a unique limit and also


not diverge to ( ∞ or -∞ ) then such a sequence is called “
Oscillatory Sequence ”.
Examples :
i. Let { Sn } = { 1/n }
then
Limn→∞ Sn = Limn→∞ 1/n = 0
Therefore the sequence { Sn } is “ Convergent Sequence ”.
Oscillatory Sequence

Examples:
ii. Let { Tn } = { n2}
Limn→∞ Tn = Limn→∞ n2 → ∞
Therefore the sequence is “ Divergent ” ( not converge a point
).
iii. Let { Un } = { ( -1 )n }
Limn→∞ Un = Limn→∞ ( -1 )n = ± 1
Now it converge to + and -1 not a unique limit , Hence it is an
“ Oscillatory Sequence ”.
