Net (mathematics) - Limit Superior

Limit Superior

Limit superior and limit inferior of a net of real numbers can be defined in a similar manner as for sequences. Some authors work even with more general structures than the real line, like complete lattices.

For a net we put

where equality holds whenever one of the nets is convergent.

Famous quotes containing the words limit and/or superior:

    Berowne they call him, but a merrier man,
    Within the limit of becoming mirth,
    I never spent an hour’s talk withal.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    For by superior energies; more strict
    Affiance in each other; faith more firm
    In their unhallowed principles, the bad
    Have fairly earned a victory o’er the weak,
    The vacillating, inconsistent good.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
