Definition: Bounded Real Sequences, Upper and Lower Bounds for a Real Sequence

Let \((a_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}\) be a real sequence and let \(D\) be its carrier set. 1. \((a_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}\) is called bounded above, if \(D\) is bounded above. 1. \((a_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}\) is called bounded below, if \(D\) is bounded below. 1. \((a_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}\) is called bounded, if \(D\) is bounded.

Examples

• The alternating sequence is bounded above by $1$ and bounded below by $-1.$
• The sequence $\left(\frac{2n+1}{n+1}\right)_{n\in\mathbb N}=\left(2-\frac{1}{n+1}\right)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ is bounded above by $2$ and bounded below by $1.$
• The sequence $(n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ is bounded below by $0$ and unbounded above.
