Constant Sequences and Index-Shifted Sequences of Real Numbers

A constant real sequence converges to its value, and shifting the index of a convergent real sequence by one leaves the limit unchanged.

Statement

Let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers, with the order of their ordered field structure and the absolute value ∣⋅∣|\cdot|, let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers, and let convergence of a sequence of real numbers be as in Limit of a Sequence of Real Numbers.

Let (an)n∈N(a_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence of real numbers and let c,L∈Rc,L\in\mathbb{R}. Then the following hold.

1. (Constant sequences) The sequence (c)n∈N(c)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} all of whose terms equal cc converges to cc.

2. (Index shift) If (an)(a_n) converges to LL and (bn)n∈N(b_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} is given by bn=an+1b_n=a_{n+1}, then (bn)(b_n) converges to LL.
