Set limes superior

Set

context $A\in \text{Seq}(X)$
definition $\underset{n\to\infty}{\limsup}A_n\equiv{\bigcup_{n=1}^\infty}\left({\bigcap_{k=n}^\infty}A_k\right)$

Ramifications

We have that

$\underset{n\to\infty}{\limsup}A_n\subseteq \underset{n\to\infty}{\liminf}A_n,$

see Set limes inferior. If moreover

$\underset{n\to\infty}{\limsup}A_n=\underset{n\to\infty}{\liminf}A_n,$

then we call it

$\underset{n\to\infty}{\lim}A_n$

and say $A$ is convergent.
