This document defines and discusses properties of the supremum and infimum of sets and functions. It begins by defining upper and lower bounds of sets, and defines the supremum and infimum as the least upper bound and greatest lower bound, respectively. It then proves several properties of the supremum and infimum, including uniqueness, relationships between sets and their suprema/infima, and how operations like addition and scalar multiplication affect suprema and infima. These properties are then extended to functions by defining the supremum and infimum of a function as the supremum and infimum of its range.

This document discusses sequences and their limits. Some key points:
- A sequence is a list of numbers written in a definite order. It can be thought of as a function with domain the positive integers.
- The limit of a sequence is defined as the number L such that the terms of the sequence can be made arbitrarily close to L by choosing a sufficiently large term.
- A sequence converges if it has a finite limit, and diverges if its terms approach infinity. Bounded monotonic sequences are guaranteed to converge.
- Properties of sequence limits parallel those of limits of functions, including laws of limits and the ability to pass limits inside continuous functions.

A lattice is a partially ordered set where every pair of elements has a supremum (least upper bound) and infimum (greatest lower bound). A lattice must satisfy the properties that (1) any two elements have a supremum and infimum and (2) the supremum of two elements is their join and the infimum is their meet. Common examples of lattices include the natural numbers under the divisibility relation and sets under the subset relation. Lattice theory has applications in many areas of computer science and engineering such as distributed computing, concurrency theory, and programming language semantics.

The document discusses the method of mathematical induction. It is used to verify infinitely many related statements without checking each one individually. As an example, it examines the statement that the sum of the first n odd numbers equals n^2 for all natural numbers n. It shows the base case of this statement is true, and if the statement is true for an arbitrary n, it must also be true for n+1. Therefore, by the principle of mathematical induction, the statement is true for all natural numbers n.
This document provides information about sets and operations on sets. It defines what a set is and gives examples of sets used in mathematics. It describes different ways to represent sets, such as roster form and set-builder form. It also defines key terms like finite and infinite sets, subsets, unions, intersections, complements and Venn diagrams. Properties of operations like union, intersection and complement are listed. In summary, the document covers fundamental concepts in set theory and operations on sets that are important foundations for mathematics.
This document summarizes Chapter 10 from a mathematics textbook. The chapter covers limits and continuity. It introduces limits, such as one-sided limits and limits at infinity. It defines continuity as a function being continuous at a point if the limit exists and is equal to the function value. Discontinuities can occur if a limit does not exist or is infinite. The chapter applies limits and continuity to solve inequalities involving polynomials and rational functions. Examples show how to use the definition of a limit to evaluate various types of limits and test continuity.
The document defines the limit of a function and how to determine if the limit exists at a given point. It provides an intuitive definition, then a more precise epsilon-delta definition. Examples are worked through to show how to use the definition to prove limits, including finding appropriate delta values given an epsilon and showing a function satisfies the definition.
Mathematical induction is a method of proof that can be used to prove that a statement is true for all positive integers. It involves two steps: 1) proving the statement is true for the base case, usually n = 1, and 2) assuming the statement is true for an integer k and using this to prove the statement is true for k + 1. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to use mathematical induction to prove statements such as the sum of the first n positive integers equalling n(n+1)/2 and that 7n - 1 is divisible by 6 for all positive integers n.
This document introduces fuzzy sets. It defines a fuzzy set as a set where elements have gradual membership rather than binary membership. Fuzzy sets allow membership values between 0 and 1. Operations on fuzzy sets like union, intersection, and complement are defined. An example fuzzy set distinguishes young and adult ages on a scale rather than a binary classification. Fuzzy sets permit ambiguous or uncertain boundaries unlike classical sets.

4) Polyhedra and the finite basis theorem are discussed, showing that projections

Section 18.3-19.1.
Today we will discuss finite-dimensional associative algebras and their representations.
Definition 1. Let A be a finite-dimensional associative algebra over a field F . An element
a ∈ A is nilpotent if an = 0 for some positive integer n. An algebra is said to be nilpotent if
all of its elements are.
Exercise 2. Every subalgebra and factor algebra of a nilpotent algebra are nilpotent. Con-
versely, if I ⊂ A is a nilpotent ideal, and the quotient algebra A/I is nilpotent, then so is
A.
Example. The algebra of all strictly lower- (or upper-) triangular n×n matrices is nilpotent.
Proposition 3. If the algebra A is nilpotent, then An = 0 for some n ∈ Z+, that is the
product of any n elements if the algebra A equals 0.
Proof. Let B ⊂ A be the maximal subspace for which there exists n ∈ Z+ such that Bn = 0.
Note that B is closed under multiplication, i.e. B ⊃ Bk for any k ∈ Z+. Assume B 6= A
and choose an element a ∈ A\B. Since aBn = 0, there exists k ∈ Z+ such that aBk 6⊂ B.
Replacing a with a non-zero element in aBk we obtain aB ⊂ B. Recall that there exists
m ∈ Z+ so that am = 0. Now, let us set C = B ⊕〈a〉. Then we have
Cmn = 0
which contradicts the definition of the subspace B. �
Unless A is commutative, the set of all nilpotent elements of A does not have to be an
ideal (in general, not even a subspace). On the other hand, if I,J are nilpotent ideals in A,
then so is
I + J = {x + y |x ∈ I,y ∈ J} .
Therefore, there exists the maximal nilpotent ideal which contains every other nilpotent ideal
of A.
Definition 4. The radical of A is the maximal nilpotent ideal of A it is denoted rad(A).
The algebra A is semisimple if rad(A) = 0.
If char(F) = 0, there exists an alternative description of semisimple algebras. Consider
the regular representation of the algebra A
ρ: A → L(A), ρ(a)(b) = ab,
and define a “scalar product” on A via
(a,b) = tr(ρ(ab)) = tr(ρ(a)ρ(b)).
One can see that (·, ·) is a symmetric bilinear function on A satisfying (ab,c) = (a,bc).
Definition 5. For any ideal I ⊂ A, its orthogonal complement I⊥ is defined as
I⊥ = {a ∈ A |(a,i) = 0 for all i ∈ I} .
Proposition 6. For any ideal I ⊂ A, its orthogonal complement I⊥ ⊂ A is also an ideal.
Proof. For any a ∈ A, x ∈ I⊥, and y ∈ I we have
(xa,y) = (x,ay) = 0 and (ax,y) = (y,ax) = (ya,x) = 0.

Proposition 7. If A is an algebra over a field F with char(F) = 0, then every element a ∈ A
orthogonal to all of its powers is nilpotent.
Proof. Let a ∈ A be such that
(a,an) = tr ρ(a)n+1 = 0 for all n ∈ Z+.
Let L ⊃ F be the splitting field of the characteristic polynomial f(x) of the operator ρ(a).
Then, over L we have

The document also contains proofs showing when two measures are equal and the Monotone Class Theorem for sets.
1. Rolle's theorem states that if a function f(x) is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the open interval (a,b), and f(a) = f(b), then there exists at least one number c in (a,b) where the derivative f'(c) = 0.
2. The mean value theorem states that if a function f(x) is continuous on a closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the open interval (a,b), there exists a number c in (a,b) such that f'(c) = (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a).

The supremum and infimum
We review the definition of the supremum and and infimum and some of their
properties that we use in defining and analyzing the Riemann integral.
2.1. Definition
First, we define upper and lower bounds.
Definition 2.1. A set A ⊂ R of real numbers is bounded from above if there exists
a real number M ∈ R, called an upper bound of A, such that x ≤ M for every
x ∈ A. Similarly, A is bounded from below if there exists m ∈ R, called a lower
bound of A, such that x ≥ m for every x ∈ A. A set is bounded if it is bounded
both from above and below.
The supremum of a set is its least upper bound and the infimum is its greatest
upper bound.
Definition 2.2. Suppose that A ⊂ R is a set of real numbers. If M ∈ R is an
upper bound of A such that M ≤ M′
for every upper bound M′
of A, then M is
called the supremum of A, denoted M = sup A. If m ∈ R is a lower bound of A
such that m ≥ m′
for every lower bound m′
of A, then m is called the or infimum
of A, denoted m = inf A.
If A is not bounded from above, then we write sup A = ∞, and if A is not
bounded from below, we write inf A = −∞. If A = ∅ is the empty set, then every
real number is both an upper and a lower bound of A, and we write sup ∅ = −∞,
inf ∅ = ∞. We will only say the supremum or infimum of a set exists if it is a finite
real number. For an indexed set A = {xk : k ∈ J}, we often write
sup A = sup
k∈J
xk, inf A = inf
k∈J
xk.
Proposition 2.3. The supremum or infimum of a set A is unique if it exists.
Moreover, if both exist, then inf A ≤ sup A.
57
3. 58 2. The supremum and infimum
Proof. Suppose that M, M′
are suprema of A. Then M ≤ M′
since M′
is an
upper bound of A and M is a least upper bound; similarly, M′
≤ M, so M = M′
.
If m, m′
are infima of A, then m ≥ m′
since m′
is a lower bound of A and m is a
greatest lower bound; similarly, m′
≥ m, so m = m′
.
If inf A and sup A exist, then A is nonempty. Choose x ∈ A, Then
inf A ≤ x ≤ sup A
since inf A is a lower bound of A and sup A is an upper bound. It follows that
inf A ≤ sup A.
If sup A ∈ A, then we also denote it by max A and call it the maximum of A,
and if inf A ∈ A, then we also denote it by min A and call it the minimum of A.
Example 2.4. Let A = {1/n : n ∈ N}. Then sup A = 1 belongs to A, so max A =
1. On the other hand, inf A = 0 doesn’t belong to A and A has no minimum.
The following alternative characterization of the sup and inf is an immediate
consequence of the definition.
Proposition 2.5. If A ⊂ R, then M = sup A if and only if: (a) M is an upper
bound of A; (b) for every M′
< M there exists x ∈ A such that x > M′
. Similarly,
m = inf A if and only if: (a) m is a lower bound of A; (b) for every m′
> m there
exists x ∈ A such that x < m′
.
Proof. Suppose M satisfies the conditions in the proposition. Then M is an upper
bound and (b) implies that if M′
< M, then M′
is not an an upper bound, so
M = sup A. Conversely, if M = sup A, then M is an upper bound, and if M′
< M
then M′
is not an upper bound, so there exists x ∈ A such that x > M′
. The proof
for the infimum is analogous.
We frequently use one of the following arguments: (a) If M is an upper bound of
A, then M ≥ sup A; (b) For every ǫ > 0, there exists x ∈ A such that x > sup A−ǫ.
Similarly: (a) If m is an lower bound of A, then m ≤ inf A; (b) For every ǫ > 0,
there exists x ∈ A such that x < inf A + ǫ.
The completeness of the real numbers ensures the existence of suprema and
infima. In fact, the existence of suprema and infima is one way to define the
completeness of R.
Theorem 2.6. Every nonempty set of real numbers that is bounded from above
has a supremum, and every nonempty set of real numbers that is bounded from
below has an infimum.
This theorem is the basis of many existence results in real analysis. For exam-
ple, once we show that a set is bounded from above, we can assert the existence of
a supremum without having to know its actual value.
2.2. Properties
If A ⊂ R and c ∈ R, then we define
cA = {y ∈ R : y = cx for some x ∈ A}.
4. 2.2. Properties 59
Proposition 2.7. If c ≥ 0, then
sup cA = c sup A, inf cA = c inf A.
If c < 0, then
sup cA = c inf A, inf cA = c sup A.
Proof. The result is obvious if c = 0. If c > 0, then cx ≤ M if and only if
x ≤ M/c, which shows that M is an upper bound of cA if and only if M/c is an
upper bound of A, so sup cA = c sup A. If c < 0, then then cx ≤ M if and only if
x ≥ M/c, so M is an upper bound of cA if and only if M/c is a lower bound of A,
so sup cA = c inf A. The remaining results follow similarly.
Making a set smaller decreases its supremum and increases its infimum.
Proposition 2.8. Suppose that A, B are subsets of R such that A ⊂ B. If sup A
and sup B exist, then sup A ≤ sup B, and if inf A, inf B exist, then inf A ≥ inf B.
Proof. Since sup B is an upper bound of B and A ⊂ B, it follows that sup B is
an upper bound of A, so sup A ≤ sup B. The proof for the infimum is similar, or
apply the result for the supremum to −A ⊂ −B.
Proposition 2.9. Suppose that A, B are nonempty sets of real numbers such that
x ≤ y for all x ∈ A and y ∈ B. Then sup A ≤ inf B.
Proof. Fix y ∈ B. Since x ≤ y for all x ∈ A, it follows that y is an upper bound
of A, so y ≥ sup A. Hence, sup A is a lower bound of B, so sup A ≤ inf B.
If A, B ⊂ R are nonempty, we define
A + B = {z : z = x + y for some x ∈ A, y ∈ B} ,
A − B = {z : z = x − y for some x ∈ A, y ∈ B}
Proposition 2.10. If A, B are nonempty sets, then
sup(A + B) = sup A + sup B, inf(A + B) = inf A + inf B,
sup(A − B) = sup A − inf B, inf(A − B) = inf A − sup B.
Proof. The set A + B is bounded from above if and only if A and B are bounded
from above, so sup(A + B) exists if and only if both sup A and sup B exist. In that
case, if x ∈ A and y ∈ B, then
x + y ≤ sup A + sup B,
so sup A + sup B is an upper bound of A + B and therefore
sup(A + B) ≤ sup A + sup B.
To get the inequality in the opposite direction, suppose that ǫ > 0. Then there
exists x ∈ A and y ∈ B such that
x > sup A −
ǫ
2
, y > sup B −
ǫ

.
It follows that
x + y > sup A + sup B − ǫ
5. 60 2. The supremum and infimum
for every ǫ > 0, which implies that sup(A+B) ≥ sup A+sup B. Thus, sup(A+B) =
sup A + sup B.
It follows from this result and Proposition 2.7 that
sup(A − B) = sup A + sup(−B) = sup A − inf B.
The proof of the results for inf(A + B) and inf(A − B) are similar, or apply the
results for the supremum to −A and −B.
2.3. Functions
The supremum and infimum of a function are the supremum and infimum of its
range, and results about sets translate immediately to results about functions.
Definition 2.11. If f : A → R is a function, then
sup
A
f = sup {f(x) : x ∈ A} , inf
A
f = inf {f(x) : x ∈ A} .
A function f is bounded from above on A if supA f is finite, bounded from below
on A if infA f is finite, and bounded on A if both are finite.
Inequalities and operations on functions are defined pointwise as usual; for
example, if f, g : A → R, then f ≤ g means that f(x) ≤ g(x) for every x ∈ A, and
f + g : A → R is defined by (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x).
Proposition 2.12. Suppose that f, g : A → R and f ≤ g. If g is bounded from
above then
sup
A
f ≤ sup
A
g,
and if f is bounded from below, then
inf
A
f ≤ inf
A
g.
Proof. If f ≤ g and g is bounded from above, then for every x ∈ A
f(x) ≤ g(x) ≤ sup
A
g.
Thus, f is bounded from above by supA g, so supA f ≤ supA g. Similarly, g is
bounded from below by infA f, so infA g ≥ infA f.
Note that f ≤ g does not imply that supA f ≤ infA g; to get that conclusion,
we need to know that f(x) ≤ g(y) for all x, y ∈ A and use Proposition 2.10.
Example 2.13. Define f, g : [0, 1] → R by f(x) = 2x, g(x) = 2x + 1. Then f < g
and
sup
[0,1]
f = 2, inf
[0,1]
f = 0, sup
[0,1]
g = 3, inf
[0,1]
g = 1.
Thus, sup[0,1] f > inf[0,1] g.
Like limits, the supremum and infimum do not preserve strict inequalities in
general.
6. 2.3. Functions 61
Example 2.14. Define f : [0, 1] → R by
f(x) =
x if 0 ≤ x < 1,
0 if x = 1.
Then f < 1 on [0, 1] but sup[0,1] f = 1.
Next, we consider the supremum and infimum of linear combinations of func-
tions. Scalar multiplication by a positive constant multiplies the inf or sup, while
multiplication by a negative constant switches the inf and sup,
Proposition 2.15. Suppose that f : A → R is a bounded function and c ∈ R. If
c ≥ 0, then
sup
A
cf = c sup
A
f, inf
A
cf = c inf
A
f.
If c < 0, then
sup
A
cf = c inf
A
f, inf
A
cf = c sup
A
f.
Proof. Apply Proposition 2.7 to the set {cf(x) : x ∈ A} = c{f(x) : x ∈ A}.
For sums of functions, we get an inequality.
Proposition 2.16. If f, g : A → R are bounded functions, then
sup
A
(f + g) ≤ sup
A
f + sup
A
g, inf
A
(f + g) ≥ inf
A
f + inf
A
g.
Proof. Since f(x) ≤ supA f and g(x) ≤ supA g for evry x ∈ [a, b], we have
f(x) + g(x) ≤ sup
A
f + sup
A
g.
Thus, f + g is bounded from above by supA f + supA g, so supA(f + g) ≤ supA f +
supA g. The proof for the infimum is analogous (or apply the result for the supre-
mum to the functions −f, −g).
We may have strict inequality in Proposition 2.16 because f and g may take
values close to their suprema (or infima) at different points.
Example 2.17. Define f, g : [0, 1] → R by f(x) = x, g(x) = 1 − x. Then
sup
[0,1]
f = sup
[0,1]
g = sup
[0,1]
(f + g) = 1,
so sup[0,1](f + g) < sup[0,1] f + sup[0,1] g.
Finally, we prove some inequalities that involve the absolute value.
Proposition 2.18. If f, g : A → R are bounded functions, then
sup
A
f − sup
A
g ≤ sup
A
|f − g|, inf
A
f − inf
A
g ≤ sup
A
|f − g|.
7. 62 2. The supremum and infimum
Proof. Since f = f − g + g and f − g ≤ |f − g|, we get from Proposition 2.16 and
Proposition 2.12 that
sup
A
f ≤ sup
A
(f − g) + sup
A
g ≤ sup
A
|f − g| + sup
A
g,
so
sup
A
f − sup
A
g ≤ sup
A
|f − g|.
Exchanging f and g in this inequality, we get
sup
A
g − sup
A
f ≤ sup
A
|f − g|,
which implies that
sup
A
f − sup
A
g ≤ sup
A
|f − g|.
Replacing f by −f and g by −g in this inequality and using the identity sup(−f) =
− inf f, we get
inf
A
f − inf
A
g ≤ sup
A
|f − g|.
Proposition 2.19. If f, g : A → R are bounded functions such that
|f(x) − f(y)| ≤ |g(x) − g(y)| for all x, y ∈ A,
then
sup
A
f − inf
A
f ≤ sup
A
g − inf
A
g.
Proof. The condition implies that for all x, y ∈ A, we have
f(x) − f(y) ≤ |g(x) − g(y)| = max [g(x), g(y)] − min [g(x), g(y)] ≤ sup
A
g − inf
A
g,
which implies that
sup{f(x) − f(y) : x, y ∈ A} ≤ sup
A
g − inf
A
g.
From Proposition 2.10,
sup{f(x) − f(y) : x, y ∈ A} = sup
A
f − inf
A
f,
so the result follows.
