Challenge 11: If aₙ converges to L, then |aₙ| converges to |L|

Lean 4 Challenges/Analysis/Limits

Prove that if the sequence \(a_n\) converges to \(L\), then \(|a_n|\) converges to \(|L|\).

To do so, complete the following Lean 4 theory:

import Mathlib.Data.Real.Basic
import Mathlib.Tactic

def SeqLim (a : ℕ → ℝ) (L : ℝ) : Prop :=
  ∀ ε > 0, ∃ k : ℕ, ∀ n ≥ k, |a n - L| < ε

variable {a b : ℕ → ℝ}
variable {L : ℝ}

example
  (ha : SeqLim a L)
  (hb : ∀ n, b n = |a n|)
  : SeqLim b |L| :=

Challenge 10: If aₙ → L with L ≠ 0, then |aₙ| ≥ |L|/2 eventually

Lean 4 Challenges/Analysis/Limits

Prove that if a sequence converges to a nonzero limit, then its terms are eventually bounded below by half the absolute value of the limit; that is, if a sequence \(a_n\) converges to \(L\) with \(L ≠ 0\), then there exists \(k\) such that for all \(n ≥ k\) we have \(|aₙ| ≥ \dfrac{|L|}{2}\).

To do so, complete the following Lean 4 theory:

import Mathlib.Data.Real.Basic
import Mathlib.Tactic

def SeqLim (a : ℕ → ℝ) (L : ℝ) : Prop :=
  ∀ ε > 0, ∃ k : ℕ, ∀ n ≥ k, |a n - L| < ε

variable {a : ℕ → ℝ}
variable {L : ℝ}

example
  (ha : SeqLim a L)

Challenge 9: Uniqueness of the limit

Lean 4 Challenges/Analysis/Limits

This week's challenge consists of proving in Lean 4 that if a sequence \(aₙ\) converges to both \(L\) and \(M\), then \(L = M\).

Challenge 8: Sequences with infinitely many large terms do not converge to small limits

Lean 4 Challenges/Analysis/Limits

Prove that a sequence with infinitely many terms whose absolute value is greater than 10 cannot converge to a limit whose absolute value is less than 5.

Challenge 6: If aₙ and cₙ converge to L and aₙ ≤ bₙ ≤ cₙ for all n, then bₙ converges to L

Lean 4 Challenges/Analysis/Limits

Prove the squeeze theorem; that is, if \(a_n\) and \(c_n\) converge to \(L\) and \(a_n ≤ b_n \leq c_n\) for all \(n\), then \(b_n\) converges to \(L\).

Lean 4 Challenges/Analysis/Limits

In Lean, a sequence \(a₀, a₁, a₂,...\) can be represented by a function \(a : ℕ → ℝ\) so that \(a(n)\) is \(aₙ\).

The statement that \(L\) is the limit of the sequence \(a\) is defined by

def SeqLim (a : ℕ → ℝ) (L : ℝ) : Prop :=
