Definition: Rational Cauchy Sequence

Let \((\mathbb Q,|~|)\) be the mectric space of all rational numbers, together with the distance defined by the absolute value "\(|~|\)", and let \((a_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}\) be a sequence of rational numbers in \((\mathbb Q,|~|)\). The sequence \((a_n)\) is called a rational Cauchy sequence, if for all rational numbers \(\epsilon > 0\) there exists an index1 \(N(\epsilon)\in\mathbb N\) with \[|a_i-a_j| < \epsilon\quad\quad\text{ for all }i,j\ge N(\epsilon).\]
