Definition 1 Consider x0 ∈ S. We say that the sequence {xn } converges to x0 when n tends to infinity iff: For all > 0‚ there exists N ∈ N such that for all n > N ‚ d(xn ‚ x0 ) < We denote this convergence by lim xn = x0 or simply xn −→ x0 . n→∞ Example 2 Consider the sequence {xn } in R‚ defined by xn = n1 . Then xn
