Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\((r_1, r_2)\): \(\in \{\text{ the open intervals of } \mathbb{R}\}\), where \(r_1\) cannnot be \(- \infty\) and \(r_2\) cannot be \(\infty\)
\(\mathbb{R}\): with the canonical ordering
\(f\): \(: (r_1, r_2) \to Pow (\mathbb{R})\) such that \(\exists lim_{ci, r_1} f \lor \exists lim_{ci, r_2} f\)
\(f'\): \(: (r_1, r_2) \to \mathbb{R}, r \mapsto Sup (f (r))\), which may not exist
//

Statements:
(
\(\lnot \exists Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f)\)
\(\implies\)
\(\lnot \exists lim_{r_1} f'\)
)
\(\land\)
(
\(\exists Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f)\)
\(\implies\)
\(\exists lim_{r_1} f' \land Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f) = lim_{r_1} f'\)
)
\(\land\)
(
\(\lnot \exists Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f)\)
\(\implies\)
\(\lnot \exists lim_{r_2} f'\)
)
\(\land\)
(
\(\exists Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f)\)
\(\implies\)
\(\exists lim_{r_2} f' \land Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f) = lim_{r_2} f'\)
)
//


2: Note


The analogous proposition for a contained convergent map from an open interval into the power set of the real numbers set with canonical ordering at boundary does not hold in general.

For example, let \((r_1, r_2) = (0, 1)\) and \(f: (r_1, r_2) \to Pow (\mathbb{R}), r \mapsto (-1, 1) \cup (2 - r, 2)\). Then, \(lim_{ce, r_1} f = (-1, 1)\), because \((-1, 1) \subseteq (-1, 1) \cup (2 - r, 2)\) and for each \(r' \in (2 - 1, 2)\), there is an \({r_1}' \in (0, 1)\) such that \(r' \lt 2 - {r_1}'\), because \(0 \lt 2 - r' \lt 1\), and for each \(r \in (0, {r_1}')\), \(r' \notin (2 - r, 2)\), because \(r' \lt 2 - {r_1}' \lt 2 - r\). But \(Sup (lim_{ce, r_1} f) = lim_{r_1} f'\) does not hold, because \(f' (r) = Sup (f (r)) = 2\) for each \(r\), so, \(f'\) does not approach \(1 = Sup ((- 1, 1))\).


3: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: suppose that \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f)\) does not exist; Step 2: see that \(lim_{r_1} f'\) does not exist; Step 3: suppose that \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f)\) exists; Step 4: see that \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f) = lim_{r_1} f'\); Step 5: suppose that \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f)\) does not exist; Step 6: see that \(lim_{r_2} f'\) does not exist; Step 7: suppose that \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f)\) exists; Step 8: see that \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f) = lim_{r_2} f'\).

Step 1:

Let us suppose that \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f)\) does not exist.

Step 2:

That means that \(lim_{ci, r_1} f\) is not upper bounded.

That means that for each \(r' \in \mathbb{R}\), there is an \(r \in lim_{ci, r_1} f\) such that \(r' \lt r\).

Then, there is an \({r_1}' \in (r_1, r_2)\) such that for each \(r^` \in (r_1, {r_1}')\), \(r \in f (r^`)\), so, \(r' \lt r \le Sup (f (r^`))\), even if \(Sup (f (r^`))\) exists (otherwise, \(f'\) will not exist, and the claim will hold).

If there was a \(lim_{r_1} f' \in \mathbb{R}\), there would be an \({r_1}'' \in (r_1, r_2)\) such that for each \(r'' \in (r_1, {r_1}'')\), \(\vert lim_{r_1} f' - Sup (f (r'')) \vert \lt 1\), so, \(lim_{r_1} f' - 1 \lt Sup (f (r'')) \lt lim_{r_1} f' + 1\).

But taking \(r' = lim_{r_1} f' + 1\), for each \(r'' \in (r_1, {r_1}') \cap (r_1, {r_1}'')\), \(lim_{r_1} f' + 1 \lt Sup (f (r''))\), so, \(Sup (f (r'')) \lt lim_{r_1} f' + 1 \lt Sup (f (r'')))\), a contradiction.

So, there is no \(lim_{r_1} f' \in \mathbb{R}\).

Step 3:

Let us suppose that \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f)\) exists.

Step 4:

That means that \(lim_{ci, r_1} f\) is upper bounded.

Each \(Sup (f (r))\) exists, because \(f (r) \subseteq lim_{ci, r_1} f\).

So, \(f'\) exists.

\(Sup (f (r)) \le Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f)\), by the proposition that for any partially-ordered set, any subset, and any subset of the subset, if the infimum of the subset and the infimum of the subset of the subset exist, the infimum of the subset is equal to or smaller than the infimum of the subset of the subset, and if the supremum of the subset and the supremum of the subset of the subset exist, the supremum of the subset is equal to or larger than the supremum of the subset of the subset.

Let \(\epsilon \in \mathbb{R}\) be any such that \(0 \lt \epsilon\).

There is an \(r \in lim_{ci, r_1} f\) such that \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f) - \epsilon \lt r\), by the proposition that for any linearly-ordered set and any subset, any element of the set is the supremum of the subset if and only if the element is equal to or larger than each element of the subset and for each element of the set smaller than the element, there is an element of the subset larger.

But there is an \({r_1}' \in (r_1, r_2)\) such that for each \(r' \in (r_1, {r_1}')\), \(r \in f (r')\), so, \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f) - \epsilon \lt r \le Sup (f (r'))\).

So, as \(f' (r') = Sup (f (r'))\), \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f) - \epsilon \lt f' (r') \le Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f)\) for each \(r' \in (r_1, {r_1}')\), which means that \(\vert f' (r') - Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f) \vert \lt \epsilon\).

So, \(lim_{r_1} f' = Sup (lim_{ci, r_1} f)\).

Step 5:

Let us suppose that \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f)\) does not exist.

Step 6:

That means that \(lim_{ci, r_2} f\) is not upper bounded.

That means that for each \(r' \in \mathbb{R}\), there is an \(r \in lim_{ci, r_2} f\) such that \(r' \lt r\).

Then, there is an \({r_2}' \in (r_1, r_2)\) such that for each \(r^` \in ({r_2}', r_2)\), \(r \in f (r^`)\), so, \(r' \lt r \le Sup (f (r^`))\), even if \(Sup (f (r^`))\) exists (otherwise, \(f'\) will not exist, and the claim will hold).

If there was a \(lim_{r_2} f' \in \mathbb{R}\), there would be an \({r_2}'' \in (r_1, r_2)\) such that for each \(r'' \in ({r_2}'', r_2)\), \(\vert lim_{r_2} f' - Sup (f (r'')) \vert \lt 1\), so, \(lim_{r_2} f' - 1 \lt Sup (f (r'')) \lt lim_{r_2} f' + 1\).

But taking \(r' = lim_{r_2} f' + 1\), for each \(r'' \in ({r_2}', r_2) \cap ({r_2}'', r_2)\), \(lim_{r_2} f' + 1 \lt Sup (f (r''))\), so, \(Sup (f (r'')) \lt lim_{r_2} f' + 1 \lt Sup (f (r'')))\), a contradiction.

So, there is no \(lim_{r_2} f' \in \mathbb{R}\).

Step 7:

Let us suppose that \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f)\) exists.

Step 8:

That means that \(lim_{ci, r_2} f\) is upper bounded.

Each \(Sup (f (r))\) exists, because \(f (r) \subseteq lim_{ci, r_2} f\).

So, \(f'\) exists.

\(Sup (f (r)) \le Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f)\), by the proposition that for any partially-ordered set, any subset, and any subset of the subset, if the infimum of the subset and the infimum of the subset of the subset exist, the infimum of the subset is equal to or smaller than the infimum of the subset of the subset, and if the supremum of the subset and the supremum of the subset of the subset exist, the supremum of the subset is equal to or larger than the supremum of the subset of the subset.

Let \(\epsilon \in \mathbb{R}\) be any such that \(0 \lt \epsilon\).

There is an \(r \in lim_{ci, r_2} f\) such that \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f) - \epsilon \lt r\), by the proposition that for any linearly-ordered set and any subset, any element of the set is the supremum of the subset if and only if the element is equal to or larger than each element of the subset and for each element of the set smaller than the element, there is an element of the subset larger.

But there is an \({r_2}' \in (r_1, r_2)\) such that for each \(r' \in ({r_2}', r_2)\), \(r \in f (r')\), so, \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f) - \epsilon \lt r \le Sup (f (r'))\).

So, as \(f' (r') = Sup (f (r'))\), \(Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f) - \epsilon \lt f' (r') \le Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f)\) for each \(r' \in ({r_2}', r_2)\), which means that \(\vert f' (r') - Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f) \vert \lt \epsilon\).

So, \(lim_{r_2} f' = Sup (lim_{ci, r_2} f)\).
