Convergence

Definition (Convergence)

Let (X,T)(X,\mathscr{T}) be a topological space.

  1. A sequence {xj}jN\{ x_{j} \}_{j\in \mathbb{N}} converges to xXx\in X in the Topology T\mathscr{T} if, for each neighbourhood U\mathcal{U} of xx, there exists NNN\in \mathbb{N} such that xjUx_{j}\in \mathcal{U} for each jNj\ge N. If {xj}jN\{ x_{j} \}_{j\in \mathbb{N}} converges to xx, we may write limjxj=x.\lim_{ j \to \infty } x_{j}=x.
  2. A sequence {xj}jN\{ x_{j} \}_{j\in \mathbb{N}} is convergent if it converges to some point in XX.
